Taking Chances: A Lake Michigan Second Chance Romance

Life changes when you least expect it. A newly single mom heads to Lake Michigan for some long overdue rest and solitude—and finds a man who makes her believe in second chances.

El Davis finds herself in a place she never thought she’d be: divorced from her high-school sweetheart and now a single mom to three children. As she works to heal and find herself again, her best friend suggests a lakeside girls’ trip. But when her friend has to cancel, El faces her anxiety and takes a solo trip that might just change her entire perspective. A chance encounter in an elevator leads El to meet Hayes, a single dad who is also navigating a life that turned out different than planned. Their instant connection has them swapping stories over sunrise coffees and beach fires, revealing a bond deeper than their failed marriages. Hayes sees the bravery in El, even when she questions her choice of a new future over the one she thought she was building. El sees past Hayes’s tattooed exterior to the quiet strength and maturity of a man who has grown in the face of struggle. Until one tipsy night when El accidentally admits to Hayes that she might be looking for a vacation fling, and he walks away, leaving her even more unsure of herself. Is he only looking for friendship or, like her, is he afraid to risk being vulnerable in the face of possible heartbreak again?
