Sometimes we're lucky enough to get that second chance – in life and in love. That Second Chance Series are stand-alone stories of strong women who battle heartache and loss with a courage and determination to find new paths and true love. What ties them together? A common theme: belief in the beauty of that second chance.
Paradise Found is Book Four of That Second Chance Series.
How does one see truly--with the heart or with the eyes?
Matt Brandon has it all--wealth, power, looks, and talent. Women want him; men want to be like him. When a freak ski accident strips him of one of life's most basic needs--his sight--he struggles to accept the possibility that his blindness may be permanent.
Enter psychologist Sara Hamilton, a woman who has known her own share of grief and loss and may just be the one person who can help Matt redefine his new world. Sara is every woman's woman--she's not a toothpick or a Cosmo girl, has never been prom queen, or dated the blond-haired god with the big white teeth. She's honest and decent and real...and lives on the perimeter, applauding her patients' successes, nursing them through their failures, but never acknowledging or accepting what she lacks in her own life. She's loved and lost once and has been so emotionally scarred, she's not willing to risk those feelings again.
Of course, she's never met a man like Matt Brandon. As Matt and Sara explore the delicate balance between "blind" trust and hope, they will discover that sometimes you have to lose everything to find what you are truly looking for...

"Sara, every man is not your ex-husband."
"Thank God." A woman could only take so many lying philanderers in her life and once was definitely more than enough. Of course, Jeff would remind her that psychologists shouldn't dissect their personal lives like case studies. Easy for him to say. He had a wife who loved him and a baby on the way. What did she have besides a hurt so deep she couldn't take a full breath?
"You'd only be in California until I can get things squared away here. Then I'll be right out. A few weeks at the most." His voice softened. "Nina's having another ultrasound today. The bleeding's stopped."
Sara pushed past the queasiness in her belly. "I know how much you both want this baby."
"The doctor thinks everything will be okay, but I can't leave until we know for sure. But Matt needs help now. His brother said he's getting worse every day and lately he won't let anybody near him."
"Not even one of those little starlets of his?" If the tabloids were accurate, company, especially the female variety, was plentiful.
Jeff frowned. "You shouldn't believe everything you read."
He was right, of course. The remark was not something a psychologist should say even if she thought it. "I'm sorry, that was unkind. I don't even know the man." But she'd read a lot about him. Matthew Brandon. Writer. Millionaire. Blind man.
