A Fleeting Chance: A Page-Turning Romantic Novel

By Lucinda Stone

When Pauline Rutherford boards a luxury cruise alone, she expects sunsets, cocktails, and a brief escape from the quiet routines of widowhood-not the sudden spark of a connection she thought she'd long outgrown. Enter Clay-charming, younger, and impossible to ignore.

What begins as flirtation soon deepens into something richer, more complicated. As they navigate moonlit decks and sun-drenched ports, Pauline is swept into a whirlwind of rediscovery, desire, and the terrifying possibility of love-just when she believed her heart had settled into stillness.

But back on shore, reality doesn't wait. Pauline's family is not prepared for the new version of the woman they thought they knew. When passions clash with past wounds, she must decide if happiness is worth the fallout-or if some chances are too fleeting to risk.

Told with heart, humor, and emotional depth, A Fleeting Chance is a tender, late-in-life love story about courage, second chances, and the price of truly being seen.
