Second Chances and Then Some

By: G.T. London

Narrated by: Jess Nahikian

It's better if she keeps to herself—or is it?

Dasia Harris lives an ordinary life in London. Well, ordinary for a woman determined to blend in at all costs. Once a gifted computer engineer, now Dasia eschews social media and takes one temporary, dead-end job after another. Because her mother was right: she's not to be trusted. When Dasia does what comes naturally to her, people get hurt.

But her latest position is different. As an office assistant at a healthcare company, Dasia can't help but love truly helping people for a change. And after a childhood void of praise or appreciation, Dasia's boss, Sarah implicitly trusts her—and more importantly, brings out the best in her.

Nurtured by Sarah, Dasia takes on one new challenge after another, ensuring the office runs smoothly. Yes, this occasionally means addressing tech issues that she shouldn't. The company's CEO is intentionally setting up Dasia's supervisor to fail in a vital project. Worse, their coworker, Luke, may be forcing Sarah out—and even shutting down the hospital.

Then Sarah asks Dasia to stay on at the company and play a major role in getting the key project off the ground. Dasia's surprised that she wants to stay on, but knows it's an act of self-sabotage. After all, she's sworn off technology—and charismatic Luke. Yet remaining at the company—and in London—gives her a chance to spend more time with Roy, the charming café owner who makes her feel like herself again.

Deep down, Dasia longs to do the right thing—if only to right her past wrongs. And she can't help but wonder if putting down roots will give her a shot at the sort of love she's barely let herself dream of. But that will require her to trust herself again—and to take the ultimate risk by following her heart.

Absolutely loved this book!

Such an excellent story. It made me feel like I was in London right there with Dasia. Can’t wait for her next book.

Loved this book and the audiobook is outstanding!

I purchased the paperback of this book and loved it so much I had to get the audiobook too! The narration is one of the best I've listened to. It's an emotional story filled with drama, secrets, and suspense, and still puts a smile on your face at the end. It has a great workplace romance and is set in London. I loved the friendships, and the character-driven story is superb!

A Great Story

This is the first book I have read/listened to by this author and I finished it in one day. I liked the slow burn of the story and enjoyed the character development. The fact that the story took place in London and the narrators did a great job with the accents made it even more enjoyable. I recommend it highly.
