About this ebook

A Second Duchess…

Or a Second Chance?

Belinda Collins, dowager Duchess of Winchester, has sworn to keep a group of war heroes safe from the monster who’s trying to turn their home into a military academy. Unfortunately, that monster is Brigadier Maxwell Thorpe, the same man who once chose his military career over her, shattering her heart and sending her into the arms of another.

Now Maxwell is back in England, and he wants more than just an academy—he wants a second chance with Belinda. When the army threatens once more to come between them, can they find a way to compromise what their hearts most desire in order to claim the future that should have been theirs?

*This title was previously published as part of the No Dukes Allowed anthology.*

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed Belinda and Maxwell's story. These two share a painful past, so there is plenty of emotional turmoil and heartstring tugging going on. Hurt feelings, past mistakes, misunderstandings, opposing opinions, stubbornness and drama stand firmly in their way as this second chance novella unfolds. I am posting an elective candid review.

Ten years ago, Belinda, now the Dowager Duchess of Winchester, and Maxwell Thorpe fell deeply in love. However, he seemingly abandoned her to further his military career. Now he is Brighton. He wants to establish a military academy. She wants to keep the hospital for the Pensioners. As they spend time together attempting to bring some suitable solution to the opposing ideas, they become reacquainted and realize they are still in love. Belinda is still doesn’t quite trust him. In the meantime the Duke of Pomperly works behind the scenes to keep them apart. It doesn’t look promising. Then while working to save the hospital from a fire, Belinda has an idea that just might be the solution they need. Will Maxwell agree, the hospital board, the Secretary of War? If it works, will it give Belinda and Maxwell a second chance? Last, but not least, will go away in defeat? A lovely second chance story.
