Second Chance Pass

Vanessa Rutledge has already leaned on the people of Virgin River through the hardest stretch of her life. In a matter of months she lost her husband, Matt, and gave birth to their son, a child who fills her with a kind of love she never expected. Now she is ready to look ahead, but the one man she wants to share that future with seems to have pulled away.

Paul Haggerty is a former Marine who lives by the motto Semper Fi. He has stayed loyal to his late best friend by looking out for Matt's widow, all the while nursing feelings for her that he has kept hidden for years. Just as he is finally ready to act on them, another woman lays a firm claim on him, and that claim will not be easy to undo.

With a good deal of courage and humility, and with plenty of nudging from the townspeople, Vanni and Paul may get the second chance at love they both want and deserve.

This is the fifth novel in Robyn Carr's Virgin River series, the books that inspired the long-running Netflix show of the same name.
