From the moment I first saw him shirtless, with those rippled abs on full display and his grey sweatpants barely hanging off his muscular hips, my insides melted. But this desire I’m filled with is one I know can never be satisfied. Single dad Jaxson Brentwood doesn’t talk about the hard times. He’s lived them. Four years prior, he lost his wife in a tragic accident. Since then, he's been left to raise his daughters alone. His world is everything mine can never be. It doesn’t matter that our chemistry is off the charts. It doesn’t matter that Jaxson’s arms are the only ones I feel safe in. He and I are like oil and water – and while opposites clearly attract, I can’t believe there’d ever be a place for a girl like me in Jaxson’s world of foam dart battles and bedtime stories. Or, at least, that’s what I thought until we both dared open our hearts – and began wondering if, just maybe, we deserved a shot at love the second time around. Second Time Around is the first in Alandra Knight's Finding Our Forever series - emotionally intense tales of true love, featuring beautifully crafted characters overcoming the darkest odds to earn their happily-ever-after.
