"At the end of the day, it doesn't matter that you failed. What matters is that you got back up on your feet, and changed where you went wrong. As the saying goes, second time's the charm."
"Isn't it third time's the charm?"
"And why should you mess up twice before you get it right? Fail once, that's being human. Fail twice, now that's being an idiot."
Sierra Banks is a beautiful, rich young woman, born heir of a hotel empire. Living in the lap of luxury, she often took things for granted. With her wicked tendencies and arrogant manners, she's not hard to hate. But as though by fate she was given everything, fate was also the one to take it all away. After one tragic night, she realizes that her life had been full of regrets.
Desperate for a second chance, she agrees to go on a quest to right her wrongs. The catch? She only has 50 days to complete it or she will face an eternal consequence. Oh, and the one person who can help her? Annoying playboy Connor Jameson, who appears to have a distinct dislike in drama queen heiresses. With a seemingly dysfunctional duo, and a natural talent for attracting trouble, can Sierra really get it right this time?
Is second time the charm?
"In a second, this overwhelming feeling he always had around her crashed through him and it felt like taking a deep breath for the first time in almost two decades.
This was what he felt for her. This was the unhealthy obsession that had no ground nor reason but just existed from the moment he first laid eyes on her.
His father had called it the Oswald curse, the way the men in the family only loved once and hard."
