Second Chances by Nancy Pennick

​GENRE: New Adult, contemporary

Book Blurb

​Kate is ready to start a new life in a great city. Determined to follow her dream, she left college to write a book. Arriving in New York City, she vows to live in the present, not the past. Easy for most to say, except she has a secret. Kate is a time traveler.  She met the love of her life back in 1927. But he’s here now. No looking back. No going back.

​Excerpt

​A time traveler in New York City. Sounds like a great title for my next novel. Kate studied her reflection in Macy’s department store window. An ordinary girl, nothing special. The windy spring day blew her light brown hair in every direction. She kept wiping strands from her face. So many movies and TV series filmed here. I’m sure no one would notice or care I was a time traveler. She imagined a New Yorker passing by as she grabbed him by the arm and told her tale. He’d shrug and nod and continue on his way. She laughed at the make-believe scene.
 
Kate returned her focus to the window. She recalled a movie she watched a few years ago. The main character lived in the early 1900s and the present day, something Kate could relate to. Not quite sure how he time traveled, she remembered he washed up on the shores of the Hudson River in the present day. She shivered at the thought of the icy river. Give me my cozy bed and a magical book any day of the week.

Excerpt

from The Mapmaker’s Wife ~ Kathy L Wheeler
 
 “Miss Ruthers?”
 
“Yes. It’s me, Mr. Williams.”
 
“Good heavens, you’ll catch your death.” He leaned over the edge, gripping the wood rail. She thought she caught concern, however fleeting. “You haven’t a coat.”
 
“No, Mr. Williams. I didn’t have much time, I’m afraid.”
 
“You’d best come in.” At his grim tone, she cast a glance to the bank of trees behind. “Now, Miss Ruthers. It’s freezing out.”
 
Clutching her torn shirt tighter with one hand, Elizabeth lifted her skirts with the other and trod up the wood stairs, head held high. Dignity was her only salvation. With a confidence she didn’t feel, she marched past him and into a kitchen a bit larger than the one she’d fled.
 
Dishes filled the sink and the floor needed a good sweeping. His limp seemed more pronounced as he filed in and hung the lantern on a hook next to the door. He shut it softly, staring at her all the while, arms folded over a broad chest.
 
The heat in the kitchen, after the cold night, seemed stifling and overwarm. His eyes moved over her, pausing at her throat where her frozen hand secured her shirt in a fist, rising back up to her damp hair, dripping puddles on the floor. She was so warm, she felt faint.
 
After a long pause, he asked, “Is there something you wish to tell me, Miss Ruthers?”
 
“I-I accept your proposal.”

    Author

    Michelle Abbott lives in the UK and hates describing herself in 3rd person.

    She writes new adult romance about heroes who fight against the odds and are protective of their girl.

    She's an avid reader of romance, is addicted to coffee and loves wine and chocolate, so yeah, not the most healthy eating and drinking habits :-) She spends way too much time online when she should be writing. She collects teddy bears and occasionally knits a couple of rows on a sweater she started years ago, which she may eventually finish in time to wear for her funeral :-)
