Second Chance (Orchard Ridge Omegas #5)

They already learned the hard way that they don’t belong together…

Moody omega Elijah Johnson is a total recluse. His anxiety disorder keeps him from having any kind of a life outside the confines of his house—social, romantic, or otherwise. Despite this, Elijah has achieved great success as the author of a popular fantasy book series—which he writes under an anonymous penname, JH Faustbend. But Eli’s commitment to lonerism is tested when his online friendship with a trusted beta reader “JBox283” grows romantic. Could sparks be flying over his computer screen?

When Elijah’s pressured to do his first public book signing, JBox283 says he'll be there in person. Risk-averse Elijah is scared, but he knows it may be time to put himself out there again, and give this whole "love" thing another shot—after his one and only attempt eight years ago with alpha Chance Styles ended in total heartbreak.

But you never know who you’re really talking to online. When JH Faustbend and JBox283 finally meet in person, both are utterly mortified to discover their true identities: JBox is actually Chance, the alpha who broke Eli’s heart so long ago.

An emotional confrontation between the bitter exes leads to an impulsive night of passion. Deeming the encounter a terrible mistake, both decide to move on and pretend it never happened—until a pregnancy test comes up positive, and they can no longer avoid each other.

Old wounds still haven’t healed, though, and it’s gonna take hard work to move past all the hurt and pain of the past. Can Chance and Elijah learn to forgive each other, and rediscover what made them fall so deeply in love the first time around? Or is history doomed to repeat itself?

Second Chance is a 73k enemies to lovers, second chances, non-shifter mpreg novel. It’s the fifth and penultimate book in the Orchard Ridge Omegas series, and can be read as a stand-alone. Warning: This book contains heavy angst, pining, and relationship drama—but it all leads to Orchard Ridge’s sweetest and most heart-warming HEA yet! So saddle up, and don’t forget to grab the tissues!
