How Second Chance Began
M. Robinson, a Florida-based author living the boat life with her real-life 'pirate' husband, crafted the Second Chance series to explore love’s ability to heal past wounds. Inspired by her knack for writing emotionally charged contemporary romances, Robinson launched the series in 2021 with Second Chance Contract, which soared to #1 on Apple Books. Her goal? To create standalone tales that resonate with readers through raw, relatable characters and high-stakes relationships, all tied together by the universal theme of second chances.
The Heart of Second Chance
The Second Chance series spans six standalone novels, each weaving a distinct romance with shared themes of redemption, heartbreak, and fiery passion. Second Chance Contract (2021) kicks off with Julian, a billionaire who left town a decade ago, reconnecting with Autumn, his best friend’s little sister, now his publicist. Their enemies-to-lovers vibe and unresolved past make for a spicy, emotional ride. Second Chance Vow (2021) follows Christian and Kinley, high school sweethearts whose marriage crumbles under life’s pressures, only to find a path back to love through raw vulnerability.
Second Chance Scandal (2022) dives into a fake marriage between football star Jax and romance author Sophie, complicated by a secret child, blending sports romance with intense drama. Meanwhile, Second Chance Love (2022) explores a grumpy single dad, Caleb, and Evie, his best friend’s sister-turned-nanny, in an enemies-to-lovers tale packed with forbidden tension. Robinson’s signature style—angsty, steamy, and emotionally raw—shines across modern settings, from corporate boardrooms to small towns, with themes of forgiveness, trust, and reclaiming lost love at the core.
What sets Second Chance apart is its ability to balance sizzling chemistry with gut-punching emotion. Robinson’s characters face real-world struggles—miscommunication, betrayal, societal pressures—making their journeys relatable yet aspirational.
