ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 23, 2022.

The only thing I was looking forward to more than marrying my enemy…

Was seeing her pregnant with my baby.

But I guess that’s why I’m the bad boy of my family—but she’s always played the good girl.

If they only knew the things she begged me to do all those years ago, when I was sneaking in through her bedroom window.

Before I left.
Before I broke her heart.
Before she hated me.

She doesn’t have to love me.
Hell, she doesn’t even have to like me. She just has to marry me to merge our feuding families…

Best part of our contract is we have to produce a bloodline heir.

My reasons for agreeing to an arranged marriage have nothing to do with claiming our inheritance…

And everything to do with claiming the woman I love.

REVIEW:SECOND CHANCE RIVAL is the fifth instalment in M. Robinson’s contemporary, adult SECOND CHANCES erotic, romance series. This is the second chance relationship between thirty-seven year olds, Belle Montgomery and Tristian Hawkins. SECOND CHANCE RIVAL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Belle and Tristian) using present day and memories from the past, SECOND CHANCE RIVAL follows the rebuilding romance and relationship between Belle Montgomery and Tristian Hawkins. Close to twenty years earlier Belle and Tristian’s lives imploded. All of their life both Tristian and Belle never knew why the Montgomerys and the Hawkins were bitter enemies. Warned to stay clear of one another, attending a private school for the uber rich and famous brought our couple together but as heirs to their respective family fortunes and businesses, the people in charge pulled our couple apart. Fast forward to present day wherein Tristian and Belle are handed an ultimatum, marry one another and produce an heir, or find themselves on the outside looking in. What ensues is the acrimonious rekindling relationship between Belle and Tristian, and the potential fall out as Belle struggles with the memories of past heart break, and issues of trust as it pertains to our story line hero.

Both Belle and Tristian have excelled in the world of business and high finance, and as such are in line to inherit their families fortunes and power but behind the scenes, old patriarchal values continue to control their world, and our couple are forced to unite together for the future of their families. Belle Montgomery is the current COO (Chief Operating Officer of Montgomery Enterprises) but has yet to forgive Tristian Hawkins for the years of heart break and emotional abuse; Tristian Hawkins helped build Hawkins Industries into a multi-billion dollar business but has never forgotten about the woman from who he was forced to walk away.

The relationship between Tristian and Belle is one of second chances; a rekindling romance predicated upon outside power and control, the merging of two powerful families in business and finance. Neither one is happy with the new direction in life but Tristian is willing to try, in an effort to reclaim the heart of the woman he has never stopped loving. The $ex scenes are intimate, passionate and intense without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Belle and Tristian’s respective grandfathers-the men who are currently controlling their lives. Belle’s executive assistant Paige, and his friend Adrian Drake. Paige and Adrian’s story is next in SECOND CHANCE MINE.

SECOND CHANCE RIVAL is a story of power and control, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and captivating; the romance is seductive and provocative the characters are determined, charismatic and stubborn.
