Second Chance — Peggy Dern

A Mind Made Up...

When publicist Jeanne Burke agrees to chaperon movie queen Sharon Lindsey's little girl on a visit to her grandfather in Florida, it isn't out of friendship for spoiled and selfish Sharon, but out of love for four-year-old Heidi and the memory of love for the child's father, Bruce Warrenton, killed in a racing car crash shortly after Heidi was born. But Jeanne isn't prepared for Dale Warrenton, Bruce's brother, who looks so much like him it's like seeing a ghost. When Dale shows signs of being attracted to her, Jeanne's guard goes up: Bruce had been attracted to her too -- until he met Sharon. And Dale has another woman in his life: redhaired, hot-tempered, possessive Ruth Blair. Afraid of another rejection, Jeanne tells Dale she's not interested in marriage...to anyone, at any time. And that she has absolutely no intention of falling in love with him...
