It's Different This Time

June Wood's hit TV show has just been cancelled, so when a mysterious email calls her back to the New York City brownstone she once lived in, she has little to lose. Before she moved to Los Angeles, the house was her home. Under a clause in the former owner's will, she and her old roommate, Adam Harper, are set to inherit the multi-million dollar property. Ownership becomes theirs in a month, once the paperwork is signed.

For June, that means four weeks in New York and then a return to her life in LA, with everything she left behind forgotten. There is a complication: she and Adam haven't spoken in five years, and their friendship did not end well. Still, she sees the chance as one in a lifetime.

As autumn leaves fall outside, shared meals and late-night conversations stir up old wounds and long-buried sparks. June and Adam have unfinished business, and they must face the consequences of choices they made years ago. A second chance is always a risk, but if they are honest with each other and with themselves, things might turn out differently this time.

This second-chance romance is the debut of Canadian author Joss Richard.
