Chance knew love once—a long time ago. She died when they were eighteen and the best of him died with her. Since then his work on a ranch in Montana has allowed him to keep his distance from people and from happiness. Eighteen years later, he may be ready to start living again—maybe. He’s watched all his friends find love and embark on the next stage of their lives. Part of him would like to do the same; part of him would rather cling to the past. He’s hoping that a trip to the Oregon Coast, and a couple of weeks away from his normal life, might help him figure out how he can move forward and maybe even be happy. It’s taken him eighteen years to get this point, but a chance encounter on the beach will make him want to figure it all out in just two weeks. He’s come a long way, but can he really open his heart up to happiness—and to Hope?

And now, for the cover...
Chance Encounter is the first of three books in A Chance and a Hope Series. These are not standalone reads. In fact, when you get to the end of this story, you may be faced with a cliffhanger – or you may not. The choice is yours! What do I mean? Well, when you reach the end of Chapter Twenty you’ll be left with a warm and fuzzy Happy-For-Now. Then you’ll be faced with a choice – read on, all the way up to the edge of a cliff where I’ll leave you hanging, or stop right where you are and wait for Book Two to come out on June 13 and read Chapter Twenty-One then. If you love a cliffy, you can have one. If you detest a cliffy, you don’t have to deal with it! Also, if you’d rather wait until the entire trilogy is complete you’ll only have a couple of months to wait. Book Two: Finding Hope releases June 13 Book Three: Give Hope a Chance releases July 11
Author Bio and Links:
Hi, I’m
SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I’m a
lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of
who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without
writing, but I can’t write without coffee. I grew up loving romance novels, my
first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do,
and I wandered down the paths of non-fiction for many years. My life changed
completely a few of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape. I
write ‘Sweet N Steamy’ stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness
in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and
happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write. These days I live in beautiful
Montana, the last best place. If I’m not reading or writing you’ll find me just
down the road in the park – Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles, and the
occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
