Do first times count if you forget them?
Page-turning heat and hurt-comfort start on a Cornish cliffside and end at a school where not only students heal from past pain.
Rowan: I once lost a national singing contest. My consolation prize? A night I can’t remember and the tattoo on my bare bottom going viral. Six years later, I’m ready to rise like a phoenix from those shameful public ashes even if my singing days are over. Training as a music teacher is the second chance I need to prove I can be trusted to help children with their own trauma.
I can’t get distracted by falling for the wounded hero who saved me on my first day in Cornwall.
Liam: Blast damage forced me to leave the Army, and guilt keeps me running from those I hurt in the process. I don’t intend to fall for a pretty stranger trapped on a cliffside, but something about Rowan makes me crave more than our one heated night together, especially when he responds like I’m the first man to ever touch his heart or body.
If he wants a second chance here in Cornwall, I’ll stay and fight until he gets one.
Featuring a musician too bruised to sing and the soldier ready to battle for him, Second Song is first in the Second Chance School series. Expect found family, a spectrum of diverse characters, and a HEA fit for angsty heroes.
This spin-off shared-world series aligns with the much-adored Learning to Love series. No prior knowledge is necessary to enjoy this standalone full-length novel.

Another hit from Con Riley!
This new series by Con Riley is starting out to be every bit as wonderful as her Learning to Love series, which Second Chance School is spun off from. While you will encounter beloved characters from Learning to Love, Second Song can easily be read as a standalone story.
Con’s books always stir all of my emotions in the very best way. Second Song got to me quickly, partly because of beloved character Charles showing up, but also because things pretty much start out with a tension inducing scene with Rowan being in a bit of a fix that Liam rescues him from.
I could continue to rave about how much this story touched my heart and about how wonderful Con Riley’s writing is but I’m going to leave you with this: if you haven’t read any of Con Riley’s books this would be a great place to start.

CON RILEY lives on the wild and wonderful Welsh coast, with her head in the clouds and her feet in the ocean.
Injury curtailed her enjoyment of outdoor pursuits, so writing fiction now fills her free time. Love, loss, and redemption shape her romance stories, and her characters are flawed in ways that make them live and breathe.
When not people-watching or reading, she spends time staring at the sea from her kitchen window. If you see her, don’t disturb her — she’s probably thinking up new plots.

Contemporary RomanceHis eyes narrowed as he moved closer. “I’ve been thinking of doing this since last night.” He closed the distance, and then his warm lips were covering hers. Her thoughts focused on his words. He’d wanted to kiss her, just as she’d wanted to kiss him.
