Synopsis:
Our Second Chance by Author C.D. Taylor is a tale of forgiveness, redemption, and love. It demonstrates how the power of healing can strengthen the bond between family, friends, and lovers.
Emily Mills lives a life of opulence and luxury in Los Angeles but can’t shake the feeling that there is something more out there for her. It isn’t the picture perfect life her social circles expect and she knows something is missing. Unwilling to let happiness be a distant wish, she boards a plane to chase her dreams of becoming a lawyer in New York City. It doesn’t take long for her past to reappear with her former best friend from college, Jake Bradford. Knowing the feelings she’s held for Jake all these years, she still tries to convince herself that she isn’t worthy of any sort of love from him. Conceding to a fraction of her desire, Emily strikes a deal with Jake to become steamy friends with benefits. Soon her passionate bond with him turns out to be way more intense than she expects and she finds herself wishing her emotional scars didn’t rear their ugly head and destroy everything she’s worked for.
Can Emily forgive herself and those who have hurt her in the past to become the person she knows she can be? Or will the roadblocks in front of her cause her to make the decision to run like she’s been doing most of her life? Book 1 of this thrilling new 3-book series will leave you panting for more and cheering for second chances.

Excerpt:
“Hey
babe, sorry I didn’t tell you I’d be here today. After you told me you were
working here, I knew you’d put an end to our date.”
“You
were right on that assumption.” I continued walking.
“So
how about a drink after work to apologize, my treat?”
“Thanks
for the offer but that’s not a good idea.”
“And
why not?” he ran his hand over my backside causing a flutter of excitement and
apprehension to run through me.
“Well
for starters, you’re a client. That’s a huge conflict of interest Grant. I
really wish you would’ve told me last night.”
“I
said I was sorry Emily.” He gave me a sad face.
“Well
like I said, this isn’t a good idea. We can’t continue to see each other. I
know it was only one date but if you could please not say anything I’d
appreciate it. I could lose my job over this.” I pleaded with him.
“I
understand your point, but I still see the way you look at me. And the way you
were squirming in your seat in there. Tell me you don’t want me. Tell me that
you wouldn’t like to have my hands all over you right now.”
Oh
my god. He was turning me on even more with his low seductive voice. I shouldn’t
have been aroused by his forwardness. I should have been appalled and ran away.
Why wasn’t I running away from him? I sped away from Jake and Jake didn’t even
talk like Grant was. He was slow and sensual not crude and crass.
“Grant
it’s just not the best idea…”
He
suddenly grabbed my arm and yanked me into a vacant office, then shut and
locked the door.
“What
are you do…?”
I
felt his lips crash onto mine in a bone melting kiss. The tango of our tongues felt
so wrong but also so damn right. I mentally compared the kiss to Jakes. It
wasn’t the same at all, no, Grant took
what he wanted and didn’t apologize for it. He reached around me and grabbed my ass with
is large hands, and squeezed hard. He pulled me into his front and I could feel
the hard press of his hardness against me. I closed my eyes and let the
sensations overwhelm me. I shouldn’t have been there, doing that. I knew
better. But for some ignorant reason, I didn’t care. I wanted to get lost in
the arms of someone. I didn’t want to
be the good girl right then, I wanted to do something reckless and irresponsible,
and not give a damn about the consequences. I had to prove to myself that I
wasn’t that scared little canary in a cage anymore, no, I was a bird of prey,
going after what I wanted. And dammit, I would
have it.
AUTHOR BIO
C.D. Taylor began writing as an item to check off her bucket list. She resides in the southernmost part of Illinois, right on the mighty Mississippi river. She enjoys the quiet country life with her husband, son and the many farm animals that make up the rest of the family. C.D. decided that farm life was just a little too mundane, so she started writing erotica to spice things up, so far so good. C.D. entered cosmetology school right out of High School and practiced the art of hair styling for 12 years. When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found sitting around a table making people laugh. She has always wanted to be a standup comic. She loves pulling practical jokes, dresses up in a costume every Halloween and believes that dancing is the key to a happy life (even if you aren’t a good dancer). She believes that life shouldn’t be taken too seriously, we will never get out alive anyway. More than anything, C.D. is a kid at heart, she doesn’t believe in bedtimes, eating everything on her plate, or having ice cream only for dessert. Her favorite quote is by Dr. Seuss…”Why fit in, when you were born to stand out.”
