Previously published as Venice or Bust: A Second-Chance Romantic Comedy by Butler Male, Janet (AUTHOR)
She married the wrong man. Now she’s in the right city—with the one who got away.
Mary married Nigel on the rebound. Uptight, penny-pinching Nigel—with his polyester pyjamas and weekly meal plan from his mum. For years, she’s pretended that love would grow. It hasn’t.
In a last-ditch attempt to save their lukewarm marriage, they take a trip to Venice. But when Nigel starts tallying gondola costs and rationing gelato, Mary begins to wonder: what if this is as good as it gets?
Then fate throws her a lifeline. Her first love—the one who made her heart race—is staying in the same hotel… with his frosty wife.
Will Mary choose safety over passion? Or will the city of love finally give her a second chance at happiness?
Second Chances in Venice is a warm, funny and bittersweet tale for anyone who’s ever wondered what might have been. Perfect for fans of 1970s nostalgia, women’s fiction with heart and romantic comedies with bite.
Genre: Romance
