Second Chances By Roisin Meaney

It’s never too late for second chances…

For the first time in her life, Lydia is taking a great big leap of faith. She’s moving to a small town on the west coast of Ireland to overhaul a large, long-abandoned residence named Chance House with her new husband.

But when things don’t go as planned, Lydia is reminded why she doesn’t take chances. Suddenly she’s facing a very different prospect: a half-finished ramshackle estate, an overgrown garden, dwindling funds, and some difficult choices to make.

Starting over feels impossible. Staying put feels harder still. But when the local community rallies around her and Lydia is unexpectedly reminded of the power of new beginnings, she realises she might just owe it to herself and them to take a second chance on Chance House . . .

Until The Truth Comes Out By Melanie Summers

A rockstar at the height of his fame.
A wife on the edge.
A secret that can’t stay hidden.
And a single night that will change everything.

In the spring of 1997, Zane McCreight and his wife, Sienna, appear to have it all—sold-out stadiums, magazine covers, and the perfect family. But behind the image, their marriage is fracturing, and a scandal is quietly spiraling out of control.

As Zane’s band prepares for a massive tribute concert in the desert—under the eerie glow of the Hale-Bopp comet—tensions rise. Lies are told. Loyalties are tested. And two women find themselves trapped between ambition, betrayal, and the impossible weight of motherhood.

Then, on the night of the show—while the world is watching the stage—the youngest two McCreight children vanish.

Emotionally complex and deeply character-driven, Until the Truth Comes Out is a gripping tale of fame, marriage, the devastating cost of keeping secrets—and the strength of the women left to carry it all.

Rescuing Seraphina Torres wasn’t part of Delta Shield Security’s plan, until an undercover operation gone sideways changed that. But as quickly as this beautiful and mysterious woman enters Ryder Lawson’s life, she disappears.

His team’s new mission is simple: track Seraphina down and turn her over to the government. But from the moment they find her, nothing goes according to plan. Because Seraphina isn’t just running—she’s hunting. And she refuses to let anyone stand in the way of her revenge. Not even Ryder. But when a deadly conspiracy pulls them both into the crosshairs, their only chance for survival is by working together.

Trusting the wrong person could get them killed…and trusting each other might be even more dangerous. But the deeper they go, the stronger the fire between them burns—and soon, it’s not just their lives at stake, but their hearts.

About The Author

My Review

This is a gripping romantic suspense that balances high-stakes danger with heartfelt romance. The story follows Seraphina, a woman living in the shadows while chasing her own quest for truth, and Ryder, a former police officer now leading the elite Delta team with his closest friends. When a mission—and a twist of fate—bring them together, Ryder finds himself torn between duty and the undeniable pull of a woman who quickly becomes more than just an assignment.

Sahin shines at creating couples whose chemistry leaps off the page, and Ryder and Seraphina are no exception. Their dynamic is equal parts fiery and tender, allowing readers to feel their struggles, their vulnerability, and ultimately their deep connection. What makes the book even richer is the sense of community—the Delta team, friends, and family who weave in and out of the narrative, creating a world that feels alive and interconnected.

Fast-paced, emotional, and filled with both action and heart, Against All Odds is a standout installment that showcases why Brittney Sahin is a go-to author for military romantic suspense.
