Spotlight Tour: Second Chances by L.P. Dover, Love's Second Chance
Love’s
Second Chance
Korinne Anders had it all.
She had the perfect job, the perfect house, and the perfect husband. When
tragedy strikes, her world takes a devastating turn. Six months after losing
her husband to a car accident, Korinne vows it to herself never to love again.
If she doesn’t allow another man in her heart, then there’s no reason for her
to feel the pain of loss. This plan seems to work, but is put to the test when
Korinne’s best friend can’t stand to see her suffering any longer.
Korinne’s long-time friend, Jenna Perry, has an
idea and it involves helping her friend find the spark of life in her soul no
matter what it takes. Korinne didn’t know that Jenna’s plan meant bringing back
a past love, a second chance with the man that Korinne had to leave in college,
but always kept a place for in her heart.
When Galen Matthews learns of Korinne’s loss and
that she’s finally moved back home, he wants nothing more than to be there for
her. The love he felt for Korinne years ago has never left him, and now he’s
given a second chance to not only mend her heart of her loss, but to also
continue the love they shared in the past. Will his love and determination make
her strong enough to give fate a second chance, or will her fear of losing
another love make her run away?
What will Korinne do when she’s faced with a
love so powerful that no matter what she does there’s nowhere to run from it?
Teasers:
Sexy Teaser:
With each
determined step, I made my way over to the man that was beginning to steal my
heart … again. Fear and desire coincided within me, but I couldn’t stop. I knew
I shouldn’t let him in, but I couldn’t deny the way my heart was beating for
this man. It was as if all of my desires, all of the pent up emotions and
feelings in my body had me desperate for this man’s touch, Galen’s touch. The
man I fell in love with years ago. His eyes grew wider the closer I got, but I
knew I wasn’t going to back down. I needed to feel him in every way possible,
and I needed it then. In one swift move I crushed my lips to his and wrapped my
arms around his neck, holding him tight. His arms engulfed me, protecting me in
his embrace, but also unsure of what to do.
“What are you doing?” he groaned, breaking away
from the kiss. “I thought you wanted to take things slow.”
A fire so hot burned behind those pale blue eyes
of his, and I knew taking things slow wasn’t going to happen. “I don’t think I
can,” I breathed against his lips.
“Please don’t say that. I don’t think I can
control myself if you let me in. I’ve wanted you from the moment I saw you, and
it’s already hard enough to keep my distance.”
“I don’t want you to keep your distance.” I
sighed. “I need you, Galen, and I need you now.” Those words were all it took
for the fire to consume him, to consume us both.
Feels Inducing Teaser:
Jenna swallowed hard
and her eyes began to water. Something was wrong and I could feel it in my
blood. My heart began to beat rapidly while the feeling of doom started to take
presence in my chest, making it tight and hard to breathe. What the hell
happened to make Jenna look like that and to show up on my doorstep?
“I’ve
been trying to call you,” Jenna choked out on a sob. “Why didn’t you answer?”
I
stood there, shocked for a second, but then I quickly said, “I was sick and
hadn’t felt well all last night and today. My phone died sometime this
afternoon while I’ve been asleep. I can tell something’s wrong, Jenna, so you
need to tell me, now.”
Stepping
back, I motioned for her to come inside and she followed. Growing more
impatient with each passing second, I glared at her waiting on the news to
come. Jenna’s voice quivered when she spoke, “Korinne, there’s been an
accident.” Thoughts of Galen passed through my mind and of all the
possibilities of what could be wrong, none of which happened to be good. If he
wasn’t here, then where was he? Not knowing what to do or say, I stood there
motionless while the time floated by in slow motion, waiting on the fatal words
to leave Jenna’s mouth.

Fighting for someone’s heart is more challenging than fighting for a title.
For a time, many years ago, love had grown, love was made, and in the end … love was lost. The decision to leave had been the worst mistake Shelby Dawson could have ever made. However, at the time—ten years ago—she felt her secret needed to stay hidden, even if it broke her heart and the heart of the man she loved. Back then, he was all hers and she was all his, but now things have changed and he isn’t the same guy she knew.
He happens to be the well-known MMA Heavyweight champion and famous bad boy, Matt ‘The Destroyer’ Reynolds, who once before struggled to help his family pay the bills. Now, he has money flowing with each undefeated win and an insurmountable number of women filling his bed. Everything is perfect for the illustrious fighter, until one day it all changes. In walks the girl from his past, the same girl who promised to stick by him but left and never looked back.
Their second chance to make things right will not come easy, for when one mistake is made an unwelcome consequence soon follows. Someone out there wants to rip them apart and they won’t stop until Matt and Shelby pay the ultimate price … their love.

Working with professional athletes and helping them recover from their injuries has always been Kate Townsend’s dream, but after an accident left her scarred and heartbroken years ago she refuses to let what happened in her past happen again. Staying focused is the key, as well as not letting her feelings interfere with her job … no matter the circumstances. All of that is easier said than done when not only one, but two men crave her healing touch, igniting every single desire she’s denied herself for so long.
Cooper Davis, NFL’s star quarterback and most eligible bachelor, packs up and leaves his home to move across the states to the East Coast after an injury results in the embarrassing trade to another team. Bitter from the pain, he deals with his problems through drugs and alcohol—almost ruining his football career—until he meets the one woman who makes him want to feel; the same woman who refuses to give up on him no matter how many times he screws up. He has to have her, and he’s not going to stop until he makes her his. Especially, now that someone else threatens to take her away.

For the past four months he’s used his charms to get what he wants, and now he’s so close to getting the girl of his dreams … if she’ll give in just once. One time is all he needs, and he’s never been known to fail, but he’s also never had to fight for a woman’s affections. Only one man will win their way into Kate’s heart, but which one will intercept the other and take what they want? Which one will she choose?
