A Second Chance

John Chance, Marquess of Aylesbury, has most unfortunately run out of second chances. That's why he's turning up at a house party in search of a wealthy wife. Anyone will do. The Aylesbury coffers are empty, and his older brother has given him a second chance to set gambling aside and find some respectability. John doesn't expect Miss Florence Bailey to be there. Florence Bailey. The woman he courted two years ago. The woman he kissed passionately and felt-felt... The woman he should have proposed to...and ran away from. Florence Bailey is a wallflower, and proud of it. Hating every moment of the house party, she watches the Marquess of Aylesbury arrive with shock and a strange, ridiculous idea. It would never work-John had already proven he couldn't be trusted. But a second chance could be the healing of her heart, and Florence is determined to try-try-to trust him. As long as John can keep it quiet that he's only wooing Florence for her money, this second chance could be just what he needs... Continue the highly anticipated Chance family drama, with four brothers and just as many problems. Tropes include: black sheep, wallflower, second chance romance, and of course, Emily E K Murdoch's tried and true method of sizzling, joyful romance. This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
