The Second Chance Hotel: A Novel

Amelia is desperate for a second chance after losing her boyfriend, her best friend, and her job. She just wasn’t expecting that second chance to be on a Greek island…with a newly gifted, rundown hotel to run…and accidentally married to a total stranger. As they say in Greece: Opa!

After a bad breakup, falling out with her best friend, and getting fired from her job, Amelia escapes to a small island in Greece to reset her life. But after too much ouzo and wine, she gets tricked into marrying a stranger and inheriting a ramshackle hotel with him.Amelia and James agree to keep the hotel open through the busy summer season so as not to cause the economic downfall of the island's quirky but well-meaning residents, after which Amelia plans to return home to start rebuilding her disastrous life. At first, they’re appalled and try to get out of it, but then guests start showing up. They must work together as partners—and friends only—to determine how to get out of their situation. But when the hotel is threatened by a big developer, it seems that this might be something worth fighting for—both the hotel, and maybe something deeper between Amelia and James, too.This is the perfect escapist, armchair getaway vacation read, with a quirky and lovable cast of characters, that will warm your heart, inspire you to dig out your passport, and perhaps push you to take a big leap of faith towards something bigger.
