Second Chances
by Lauren Dane

Back home after ten long years, smart, sexy Rori Simon sets her sights on bad boy Jude Callahan. Jude's hot and he knows it. So hot that Rori gets burned. Then comes Zach. Handsome, sensual Zach knows just how to take her pain, and before she knows it, she's in love with the man of her dreams.

Zach may be easy going and kind, but in the bedroom he's dark and commanding. And he's got a strong hand with rope and other bondage treats. His loving introduces Rori to a whole new side of herself.

Watching Rori with Zach, Jude realizes she's the woman and the sexual submissive of his dreams. He falls in love, even knowing he's blown that shot forever. Then tragedy strikes, and if Jude can be the man she needs, he may just get a second chance.

Lauren Dane's Bio

The story goes like this — A few years ago, Lauren Dane decided to quit her job and stay home with her brand new second child. As a result, she had lots of conversations in a sing-song voice but no real outlet for adult thoughts and words. While on bed-rest with her pregnancy with the tiny monster, Lauren had plenty of down time so her husband brought home a second hand laptop and she decided to "give that writing thing a serious go."

Lauren had no idea how fabulously wonderful it would feel to actually make a go of her writing and she's thankful every day people actually want to read what she writes! She's well aware of her good fortune and loves every moment of it, even when she has to edit and put Barbie's dresses back on over and over again. She still hasn't managed to figure out how to shut out the sound of the Backyardigans so she can write a love scene, though.
