Second Chance Summer
Dario
When Adelina Gray turned up at my café that day, sad and alone, I had no idea she’d become such a big part of my life. Two years later, that’s exactly what she is – my best friend.
The woman I’ve fallen in love with.
But I’ve never told her how I really feel, I can’t do that. I can’t tell her, BECAUSE I love her. Because I want to protect her…
Adelina
I came to Majorca to escape. To remember. To get over Nathan’s death. I was lost and confused and Dario Moreno, he saved me. He made me smile again, made me realise my world hadn’t ended, it had changed, yes, but I still had a life to live. He gave me a home on this beautiful island, a job; a chance to make a new start, he’s my best friend. I’m starting to live again, because of Dario. But loving another man? I don’t know. It wasn’t something I could even think about, not for a long time. Until the day I met Jonas Hofmann. Arrogant. Aloof. Sexy-as-hell. He’s everything I’ve never wanted in a man, everything I should steer clear of, but, I don’t know if I can…
Jonas
Running one of Europe’s biggest hotel groups takes up all of my time, and it’s a job I love. The family business. And yet, I’d been willing to take a step back, settle down, try and stay in one place for more than a fortnight. Because I loved her. But she hurt me. She made me cold. Cynical. She made me wary of ever letting myself feel anything for anyone, I didn’t want to go there again. Until Adelina Gray crashed into my life. Or did I crash into hers? It doesn’t matter, all I know is, things are changing. And now I’m starting to fight every emotion I never wanted to feel…
Three people.
Three second chances.
One summer…
All Dario wants is for Addie to be happy again.
All Addie wants is for Dario to find that special someone.
He’s already found her. She just doesn’t know it, yet.
All Jonas wants is to be able to trust again. To find a woman who wants him for who he is, not what he has.
They’re all about to have that second chance.
But just as Dario is ready to tell Addie how he really feels; to reveal the heart-breaking secret he’s kept from her for so long – too long – everything changes. Is someone’s second chance about to come just a little too late…?

About the author
Michelle Betham
42 books86 followersMichelle Betham is an ex-media technician turned author of super-sexy romance, usually involving rock stars, DJs, movie stars, hot businessmen, and bikers. But not usually all in the same book. Yet. A proud indie author, she also has six books published through One More Chapter, a division of HarperCollins Publishers, one of which is a pyschological thriller/romantic suspense written under the pen name of ML Roberts.
Addicted to binge-watching TV shows she struggles to think of a life before Netflix or Amazon Prime, loves music - especially rock and EDM; tattoos – of which she has many; spicy food, superheroes (she's a slightly obsessed Avengers fan-girl who harbours a particularly unhealthy obsession with Captain America), and Keanu Reeves – a crush that’s lasted well over twenty years, and one she blames entirely on ‘Point Break’. The original. She refuses to acknowledge any remake exists.
Her dream is to ride a Harley, visit Las Vegas, and be able to eat any amount of chocolate without putting on weight.
She lives in County Durham, north-east England, with her husband and their West Highland Terrier, Opie - named after her favourite biker in Sons of Anarchy! She can be found, most days, at her desk drinking tea and making up stories.

Will she? Won't she ?
This is a beautiful story, so well written, addie was broken but Dario brought her back from the brink, by the time he realises he loves her is he too late? Jonas comes into her life, is about to take addie away?
Who will win her heart? I changed my mind several times just couldn't work it out. Great read,
