Second Chances... by Contemporary Romance Novel Author Cindy Troy

Second Chances tells the story of a true love lost to the ravages of cancer, leaving 35-year old Chase McCormick alone to care for his four-year old daughter. He seeks help from newly divorced and newly independent Anna Devereaux who sees this as an opportunity to escape her own childhood nightmares and perhaps become part of a real and loving family. Anna's troubles date back to her own mother's murder when Anna was just a child. Now, twenty-five years later, Anna herself is the target and she and Chase work together to keep her safe as well as solve the mystery behind who is trying to kill her. Their investigation takes them back a quarter of a century, and nothing can prepare them for the links that they discover between their families. And the links all lead to murder. Both Chase and Anna must make a decision of whether or not the danger is worth seizing this second chance at love.

A Special Note...

While copies of the book show a dedication to my husband -- which is absolutely deserved -- it also needs a dedication to my dear dear friend, Holly. Holly brought me my first romance novel and first came up with the silly notion that a couple of full-time English teachers, wives, and mothers could actually write a book. Much of the storyline behind Second Chances can be credited to her.
 

Contemporary Romance...

Contemporary romance, which is set after World War II, is often what people mean when they refer to a romance novel. The largest of the romance novel subgenres, contemporary romance novels are set in the time in which they were written and usually reflect the mores of that time. Heroines in the contemporary romances written prior to 1970 usually quit working when they married or had children, while those novels written after 1970 usually have, and keep, a career. As contemporary romance novels have grown to contain more complex plotting and more realistic characters, the line between this subgenre and the genre of women's fiction has blurred.

Over half of the romantic fiction published in the United States in 2004 (1468 out of 2,285 books) were contemporary romance novels. (Wikipedia)
