It isn't until she meets Gabe, the handsome graphic designer with the drool-worthy British accent, that her dreams start to verge onto a new path that she never saw coming. But is Lou willing to give up her perfect marriage for a life with someone she just met? Can Gabe offer Lou a new perspective that shakes up her entire world?

Battling with the opinions of her childhood best friend, her over-bearing mother, and her own guilty conscience, Lou has to make tough decisions about her job, her friendships, and most importantly, her marriage.

Can one passionate week in August change the entire course of Lou's life? Only she can decide.

SECOND CHANCES (ORIGINAL WORK) by Hope_Swaluk

[COMPLETED] When Angeline married Nathan Snyder, it was supposed to give her the perfect life. Her dream was shattered the first time her husband laid a hand on her, showing her that the life she'd married into was going to be anything but perfect. Now a twenty-five-year-old pastry chef, Angeline reaches a breaking point with Nathan's abuse when he does the unthinkable: he threatens her life. Angeline knows that this path only leads one of two ways: either she lives with Nathan and his abuse, or she allows him to take her life from her. Instead, Angeline chooses a third option. She risks everything-and runs. Escaping to a small, rural Texas community, Angeline changes her name to Aaliyah and hopes to start a new life. Traumatized by her past, she never expects to find comfort in another man again-until Jason Moore, a twenty-nine-year-old, winemaker and part-time sales associate sweeps her off her feet with more kindness and compassion than she's ever experienced. Angeline knows that Nathan would search the ends of the earth to find her and make her pay for leaving him. But when Angeline can't stop herself from falling for Jason, she's forced to face a difficult choice: Can she escape her past and be with Jason, or is she risking his life by loving him?
