He vanished into the waves. She sank beneath sorrow. But neither stayed lost. Ian MacDrummond left Scotland behind-his name, his children, his broken heart. Reborn as Ian Stewart aboard the Chevalier Noire, he buried his past and sailed forward. Until one mission-and one woman-pulls it all back. Noelle Clement carries her own grief, and somehow, her pain speaks to his own. She's searching for her daughter. He's remembering his own. Noelle once knew joy. Now she knows determination. When her child disappears, she refuses despair and accepts help from the bold Durets-who place her under Ian's protection. But the Scotsman isn't just a shield. He's a man on the edge of regret, aching to believe he still deserves the title of father, of husband, of something more.Together, they learn that healing doesn't erase the past-it reclaims it. As they fight to recover Noelle's child and confront a shadow from her former life, something unexpected begins to bloom: trust. Then tenderness. And finally, love. Because some chances don't arrive until you've lost everything. And some futures don't begin until you forgive yourself.He thought his story was over. She reminds him it's just beginning.🪶If you've ever needed to start over-and hoped someone would walk beside you as you do… this story is yours. About MeHi, I'm Bree Wolf-a USA Today bestselling author, former academic, and life-long lover of stories. I studied English and Specialized Translation, wandered the halls of universities, spending more years than I should have trying to be reasonable.Eventually, that quiet, persistent voice in my head said: It's time to write. I've since published over fifty historical romances, each one stitched together from pieces of my own heart: doubts, regrets, fears, and messy, hopeful dreams.I love chocolate (especially when chapters get emotional), cry far too easily at my keyboard, and have a deep spiritual bond with cats… which is tragically one-sided, as I'm terribly allergic. A lifelong heartbreak, truly. About What I WriteI write love stories-not the tidy kind with perfect timing and easy resolution.My stories are about the hearts that ache a little louder, fall a little later, and carry more than they ever expected to. You'll meet heroines who've been hurt, heroes who protect with patience, and love that heals in slow, steady pulses.Whether set in England's ballrooms, Scotland's wild highlands, or time-tossed ruins, these are journeys of emotional courage. They're layered, sincere, and full of the kind of hope you find after everything else. My romances aren't escape-they're refuge. About Why I WriteAt their core, my books are love letters-to anyone who's ever doubted they were enough, struggled to be seen, or wondered if healing would ever come. I draw from personal experience, yes-but mostly I write for connection. For restoration. For the reader flipping pages late into the night, whispering please let them be okay.My settings shift-Regency England, Scottish Highlands, sometimes a little magic-but the heartbeat stays the same: tenderness. Bravery. Love that doesn't fix you, but walks with you while you become who you were meant to be.And if any part of my stories finds a place in your own… then I've written what I was meant to. I've always believed stories have the power to heal-and Love's Second Chance is where that belief first took root. Across twenty-three titles, each marriage of convenience quietly blossoms into something deeper: a journey of trust, redemption, and emotional courage.These couples don't just fall in love-they learn to mend what's been broken inside. The grief they carry, the fears they hide, the pasts they think they've outrun... all of it finds space to breathe and, bit by bit, to heal.Over the years, readers have written to tell me these stories helped them through tough chapters of their own. That, to me, is the true magic of this series-and why it remains so close to my heart.
