How many times can the day of one’s birth radically change one’s life...again? The day you were born was unexpected, but can lightning strike twice, to make your 60th just as remarkable? Elizabeth Wakefield is about to find out when finally meeting the big client she’s been trying to do business with for 3 years. But when summoned to the corporate office of the billionaire CEO, she discovers Prescott Hamilton uncharacteristically wants her to have a huge account, bigger than she wanted and one that will project her to become her firm’s biggest producer. Mindful of the old adage: be careful what you ask for, suddenly rings true for Liz. Giving her the Global Communications Pension Account becomes the ploy to entrap and enable his pursuit of her, sucking her into the drama vortex that swirls around him because he wants her.
Liz soon learns there’s more at stake than discouraging an interracial relationship with a client. Her body knows the truth, way before her heart and certainly her head: that an elusive Romantic is within her proximity. And though in premise he’s what she always hoped to find, moving forward with Prescott Hamilton demands unusual strength of courage. For ignoring factors of professional impropriety; great wealth and social disparity; his reputation of and past propensity to womanize; the powerful alpha personality with the obvious sexual and deep emotional attraction to her; all pales against the most difficult one: the 20 years that makes him her junior!
If Liz is to experience the passionate love of being with and enjoying complete happiness from the devotion of a Romantic man, to the point of finally revealing her own Romantic personality, she must commit to the ideal of CarpeDiem, breaking away from the safety of the judgmental confines she lives by and knows so well. It will take a lot, and their fear, she may not. She’ll need to courageously admit what she really wants, and be openly thrilled with having a second chance of happiness at 60, instead of wimping out and succumbing to the pressures of social norms, as she did in her twenties.
But there is something else going on. Suspicious threats and frightening attempts targeting her because of him, are occurring with frequency, despite his attempts to be her protective Hero. Should loving a Romantic cost one one’s life and how far will others go to protect what they perceive is theirs?
A Second Chance At Happiness, is the first book of the CarpeDiem series, telling her version of the story. The sophisticated eight novels are Suspenseful Contemporary Romance with Passion, set in both New York and Florence, written for Romantics who know Romance doesn’t only belong only to the young.
