Book 2 - Second Chance in Life? Sequel to "Second Chance in Love?" Series: Second Chance Three years have passed since the night Mildred Snape stepped into the fire to save her family. She survived the Killing Curse... but only barely. Now she lies in a coma no healer can explain. The Ministry ruled that the dark pendant Severus crafted for her-meant to protect her-absorbed part of the curse, saving her life but leaving her trapped between worlds. Her body is healthy. Her magic is intact. And yet she does not wake. Severus Snape sits at her bedside every night, raising their newborn daughter alone, haunted by every "what if" that claws at him in the dark. What if he had stopped her? What if he had held her tighter? What if he had said the three words she never got to hear? He is obsessed with finding a cure-brewing forbidden potions, inventing spells, hunting down every Death Eater who escaped that night. If they were in that hall, he will find them. And he will end them. When Mildred finally opens her eyes after three years, she awakens to a world she doesn't remember-her marriage, her child, and the man who has loved her in silence for years. Her memories of their life together are gone. Book 1 showed how fiercely Mildred loved him. Book 2 will show how fiercely Severus Snape loves her-through yearning, obsession, jealousy, devotion, and the desperate hope of winning her heart a second time. This is not just a second chance in love. It is a second chance at life. Disclaimer: All Harry Potter characters belong to J.K. Rowling. Only Mildred and original additions are my creations.

This book is now available through Amazon and kindle! It was definitely a process getting it published, but my parents wanted me to accomplish this before they passed away, so no regrets. I wish I could work on it again, maybe add layers. It starts off a little heavy on the "romance", and then I think it finds its own groove, but overall I'm happy with the final product. I always appreciate it when people purchase it, but you are more than welcome to read it here. If you do buy one, please leave me a rating/comment. It's under my pen name Robin Ray on Amazon. I reposted it here for everyone to read, but I think it's also nice to read in paper book form. I buy one for myself every Christmas and end up gifting it:)I really felt inspired to write it, and as strange as it sounds, I felt that Alan Rickman helped guide me along the way. When I read it, it makes me feel less lonely, and the characters feel like real friends to me. I hope you also find something meaningful in my book. I've started on the sequel...Refuge, but it's been difficult to get back to it. Please leave me a vote or a note, I really enjoy those:) The devastating loss of his dear Lily had calloused him to the point of having very few of the gentler emotions. He had lost Lily to their arrogant classmate, James Potter, which utterly devastated him, only to find what utter devastation really meant when he lost her again, and finally, to death. He put those memories aside for now...he had relived them a lifetime's worth in his mind over the years. He turned his thoughts back to the present, and the woman who was presently in the very next room. He relented slightly as he felt a familiarity pass over him, and he groaned lightly, feeling as if this wound had been touched at its deepest core, then had been set to healing, and he drifted off into an exhausted sleep before he could put a finger on the source of the warm familiarity he had felt, and the magic that would not show itself until the proper time.

He challenged her, provoked her to react. Her eyes narrowed in fury as she gripped his wrist firmly. "You may have my hand, professor. But a hand is not a heart. I am not yours, nor will I ever be." ************************************************* A slow-burn Severus Snape romance with a forced marriage trope. This book will contain explicit smut.
