With another chance at love, what could possibly go wrong? Recovering from heartbreak, unlucky-in-love events manager Cara has vowed to avoid relationships. That is until fate throws her into the path of handsome and kind Henry, who is worlds apart from the men she's dated before. Unfortunately, this encounter is short-lived when Cara misses her coach home-and with it, any chance of seeing him again. But fate is not finished with the mismatched couple. When Cara quite literally bumps into Henry a second time at a work event, the run-in leaves them with feelings instead of bruises, and they can't wait another day before seeing each other again. Yet it soon becomes clear how deeply different their worlds are: Cara's drama-filled African and Caribbean family couldn't be further from Henry's family of wealthy lords and ladies. With interfering relatives, problem friends, and an inconvenient ex-boyfriend attempting a comeback, everything seems stacked against the two new lovebirds. This is no straightforward love story-Cara and Henry will have to get creative with romance if they stand any chance of beating the odds to win their happy ever after. The Second Time We Met is a hilarious and heartwarming romance, perfect for anyone who believes in second chances.

One island paradise. One hell of a choice. When Ruby Lamont's young son Jake starts telling tall tales about the dad who walked out on them six years ago, she realises that, for her son's sake, it's time to find out the truth. It's not that she wants Kenny back in her life-her best friend, charming commitment-phobe Griffin, has always been more of a father-figure to Jake-but if she can understand once and for all why Kenny broke her heart by leaving her, perhaps she and Jake can finally move on. Their journey takes them to heart-shaped Sorrel Island, a Caribbean paradise that according to legend was created as an enchanted refuge for lovers. For no-nonsense Ruby, romance is the last thing on her mind. Spoiling for a fight, she confronts her runaway ex, but he's a changed man, or so he claims. Just as Ruby's starting to remember what she saw in Kenny, gorgeous American portrait artist Mac propositions her for a role as his muse, or more...and when Griffin shows up out of the blue, seemingly with more on his mind than friendly moral support, the tropical heat builds to an inferno. With sparks of lust and jealousy flying in all directions, Ruby has to wonder whether the magic of Sorrel Island is more than just a legend. As the truth of Kenny's departure-and Griffin's arrival-spills out, she seems destined for another devastating heartbreak. Shaken out of her state of romantic limbo, Ruby must discover whether people really can change-or if paradise has been on her doorstep all along.
