Do first times count if you forget them? Rowan: I once lost a national singing contest. My consolation prize? A night I can’t remember and the tattoo on my bare bottom going viral. Six years later, I’m ready to rise like a phoenix from those shameful public ashes even if my singing days are over.

I don't intend to fall for a pretty stranger trapped on a cliffside, but something about Rowan makes me crave more than our one heated night together, especially when he responds like I’m the first man to ever touch his heart or body.If he wants a second chance here in Cornwall, I’ll stay and fight until he gets one.Featuring a musician too bruised to sing and the soldier ready to battle for him, Second Song is first in the Second Chance School series. Expect found family, a spectrum of diverse characters, and an HEA fit for angsty heroes.This spin-off shared-world series aligns with the much-adored Learning to Love series.
