Fun Facts about SECOND TAKE AT LOVE
Sometimes I fall in love with my secondary characters, Holland in Second Take at Love is one of those examples. Here are a few fun facts about Holland and Myles’s story.
Fun Facts about SECOND TAKE AT LOVE
1. Holland Ainsley first appeared in the Tillbridge Stables series. She was the director of the movie that was filmed on the property that is owned by the Tillbridge family.
2. I loved how Holland showed up on the page in The Cowboy’s Claim. She needed a book of her own.
3. Holland and Myles are shown on the Harlequin Special Edition cover. The Mills & Boon cover highlights Holland.
About the book:
She’s no trespasser…but causing trouble just the same.
Hoping to get away from the hustle of Hollywood, producer Holland Ainsley finds the perfect subject for her new project.
Except the old Maryland farmhouse comes with widower Myles Alexander. His goal is to fix up the place and sell it, not have a beloved memory become some documentary. Holland’s vision may prove more enticing than Myles’s battered heart imagines. Is his heart also ready for a reality check on happiness?

Alexa met Raphael and…
One night changed everything.
Someone once told me that there are worse things than being left at the altar. Well, not many, in my experience. That was six months ago, though, and my life has moved on. Heck, I have a new job lined up and I’m leaving town.
But I can’t deny that my love life kind of sucks.
That’s why I let my friends convince me to join them for Club Escapade’s Breakup Bash. And we might just be disillusioned enough to actually enjoy it. Last time we were here, it was for my bachelorette party. That night, I met one of the dancers – Raphael – and when he flirted with me, I almost forgot I was engaged. And there’s a part of me that never forgot him.
Now, it seems my friends have wandered off and I’m thinking about calling it a night. Until the music begins and I see Raphael, my secret fantasy, on stage. And this time, I’m definitely not engaged…
