Second Try - Tamsyn Bester;Lindsay Reign

A second-chance sports romance about first love, old heartbreak, and one unforgettable holiday reunion.

They haven't spoken in five years.

Now they have to walk down the aisle together.

Fable Bouchard left home determined to build a future in ballet, and leave Bodhi Donovan in the past. But when she returns for a family wedding during the holidays, she's forced into close quarters with the boy who once meant everything to her.

Bodhi, now on the verge of a professional rugby career, never stopped loving Fable. Seeing her again reignites the spark between them instantly, but so do the wounds they never healed.

As wedding festivities pull them together, Fable and Bodhi must navigate old secrets, lingering grief, and a connection that still feels impossible to deny. Yet with ballet taking her in one direction and rugby taking him in another, love may ask for more than either of them is ready to give.

Can a once-in-a-lifetime love survive a second chance?
