Second Chances in Charleston

By Annabelle Peabody

Second Chances in Charleston is a later-in-life lesbian romance about starting over, taking risks, and choosing love without apology.

At sixty-six, Carol thought she understood love. After twelve years of marriage ending in divorce, she's navigating family expectations, loyal friends, and the uneasy quiet of starting over. She isn't looking for anything complicated-especially not at this stage of her life.

Then she meets Isabelle Moreau.

A year after her own painful breakup, fifty-year-old Isabelle came to Charleston to heal. She didn't expect to fall for someone still wearing a wedding ring. But when Carol kisses her, Isabelle realizes some risks are worth taking.

Four days from first meeting to first touch.
Ten weeks from dating to living together.

From Charleston's historic streets to the lavender fields of Provence, Carol and Isabelle build an unexpected love story fueled by passion, vulnerability, and the courage to begin again. Supported by a fierce circle of women friends, they navigate age gaps, complicated families, and the delicate work of opening their hearts after heartbreak.
