Second Life

By Tess Molesworth

When you're given a second chance at life, you don't expect the past to follow you out of the shadows and the grave.

Dr Paisley Mallick's world shatters the moment she loses her best friend on the operating table. Unable to return to the hospital or the life she once loved, she is left with one choice...

Follow the dream her best friend left behind.

A book bar.

But starting over isn't as simple as it seems. Paisley is used to running away from her own secret life into the life of a mistress in a highly exclusive adult club on the outskirts of London. Her secret has been so tight that only her brother has ever known. Her protector. That is, until a mystery man walks into her book bar; Drool.

Because Paisley isn't just rebuilding her life, she is walking straight into danger.

And the only person she can rely on is a man who was never meant to be seen.

Phantom.

A shadow between the stacks. A man driven by an unrelenting need to protect her, no matter the cost.

But the closer Paisley gets to him, the deeper she is pulled into a web of secrets, betrayal, and hidden truths that could destroy everything she is trying to rebuild.

The clock is ticking.

And the second life she is fighting for...

... may not be hers to keep.

This is the second standalone, interconnecting novella in the Reignite Love and Life Series.
