Lisa Smelter 
Second Chance for Happiness 

When it rains, it pours-or so it seems in and around the small town of Dalton, Iowa. Sometimes, destruction accompanies the rain. The same can be said of passion. In Lisa Smelter’s latest book, A Second Chance for Happiness, readers are treated to not one, but three, love stories. That is indeed a downpour of high interest, affection, and heartbreak. Carlos Santos, one of Lisa’s favorite characters, makes a surprising return. He plays a key role in the lives of Dalton’s residents; one in particular is the widowed Jenny.Meanwhile, the formerly engaged Shaun and Trish can’t seem to solve their dilemma. However, a storm tosses them together, and they get a second chance for happiness. Will they take it? The good neighbors of Dalton need a scorecard to keep track of the possible marriages in town. Will a high school infatuation evolve into the perfect romance for a beautiful shy woman with a slight imperfection and a humble hunk of a man whose loyalty may cost him the love of a lifetime? Mary and James will take readers along their journey to discover the answer.This is the Iowa connection to those memorable characters in Lisa Smelter’s highly popular Love in Litton series.
