I absolutely loved "Second Chance Cowboy" and I can't wait to read "Second Ride Cowboy." I remember Duke from the first book and he was intriguing then, I'm very interested for his full story. And about second chances- I think they can work out but it's not likely without a major stressor that brings both individuals to their breaking points, because if they already broke up once over something little then they wont last through the hard stuff, but it's good to find people who are willing to fight for each other.
