Publisher's Synopsis
Second Chances is the first installment in the Taboo Time Travel Series and features three couples who are given second chances at love so strong, not even death could not stop it. What do you get when you take three modern alpha females and send them back in time to three alpha males, each of whom believes a woman's place is across his knees? You get three explosive romantic short stories filled with mystery, spiced with sex, and love between three jaded couples who do not believe in love, much less love that can transcend time and all their fears. Our first cynical pair is Rio and Daiki. Rio is the ultimate alpha female, a MMA fighter and top stunt woman who crumbles when she receives a Dear Jane letter from her boyfriend. Desperately needing more of an explanation, she accepts an offer from a water fairy to go back in time and find answers. As she travels further down the rabbit hole to 1940's Japan, she meets Daiki, a powerful business man who thinks she's a Chinese spy, and he's willing to punish her to get to the truth. But how could Rio tell him the truth when she knows he would never believe her? Next are Katherine and Maxwell. Katherine is climbing up in the publishing world in New York City, but her perfect little world comes crashing down when her boyfriend proposes and she has to admit there is no passion between them. She flees to an old house in New Orleans to make a decision and stumbles upon a secret door, which when opened, takes her back to the 19th century and a man who inspires unbridled passion in her; he's just a chauvinist pig. When she learns the truth behind Maxwell's brashness, Katherine discovers that love can run even deeper and truer than passion. FREE BONUS STORY! Giovanna and Jacob's love story unfolds in 1950's Georgia. Giovanna is a pilot with a string of lovers. She has no desire for love, so it is befitting she goes back in time to become a mail order bride. Jacob is a cowboy who wants a wife who can cook and clean, and the last thing Giovanna wants to be is a fifties housewife. She has disdain for a man who would order a woman from a catalog, but she soon learns that she'd been more than a pretty face next to a profile, and a budding romance which had ended in tragedy, was now given a second chance to blossom.
