Dear Reader,
The book youve just bought from my Second Chances series is truly evidence of the second chances God gives us. The books in this series have been published before, some by Dell, some by Harlequin, others by Silhouette and HarperCollins. I was a Christian when I entered the romance market in 1983, hoping to take the world by storm. What I found, instead, was that the world took me by storm. One compromise led to another, until my books did not read like books written by a Christian. Not only were they not pleasing to God, but they embraced a worldview that opposed Christs teachings. In the interest of being successful, I had compartmentalized my faith. I trusted Christ for my salvation, but not much else. Like the Prodigal Son, I had taken my inheritance and left home to do things my own way.
I love that parable because it so reflects my life. My favorite part is when Jesus said, But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him I can picture that father scanning the horizon every day, hoping for his sons return. God did that for me. While I was still a long way off, God saw me coming. Early in 1994, when I yearned to be closer to God and realized that my writing was a wall between us, that my way had not been the best way, I promised God that I would never write anything again that did not glorify him. At that moment, it was as if God came running out to meet me. I gave up my secular career and began to write Christian books.
Shortly after I signed a contract for Zondervan to publish my suspense series, The Sun Coast Chronicles, something extraordinary happened. The rights to some of my earlier romance novels were given back to me, and I was free to do whatever I wanted with them. At first, I thought of shelving them, but then, in Gods gentle way, he reminded me that I was free to rewrite them, and this time, get them right. So I set about to rewrite these stories the way God originally intended them.
As you read these stories, keep in mind that theyre not just about second chances, they are second chances. I hope you enjoy them.
In Christ,
Terri Blackstock

Table Of Contents
This book is lovingly dedicated to the Nazarene.
T he past was a funny thing. It had a way of catching up with youno matter how fast you ran. Andi Sherman realized now that it was gaining on her.
There was no way around it. The Khaki Kangaroo cartoon was the only one that had the kind of characters she had wanted for her amusement park. But she had resisted choosing it, because she wasnt sure she was up to dealing with the baggage that came with it.
But letting personal feelings influence her business decisions would have disappointed her father, who had trusted her to take over his dream when others saw her as not much more than a kid. She had something to prove now. Even if it meant working with Justin Pierce.
Andi sighed. Its perfect, Wes. That cartoon is the only one that strikes the right chord.
The builder nodded. You chose it, Andi. You knew those characters were perfect for Promised Land the first time you saw them. I did, too.
Andi turned around in her leather swivel chair and stared down at some papers on her desk. Of course she had known it was perfect. But that was before she had learned that Justin Pierce was its animator.
Justin Pierce. She had counted on spending the rest of her life without seeing him again.
She raised her eyes to Wes, her old friend and the builder who would incorporate these characters into the rides. As she watched, he rolled a purple Tootsie Pop around in his mouth, one that hed probably bought for his daughter, Amy. It doesnt matter, though, she said. Justin probably wont come anyway. Hes already an hour and a half late.
Wes took the sucker from his mouth and surveyed the uncharacteristic tension on Andis face. Justins not stupid. If he has any business sense at all, hell come.
If it were just business, Andi said in a hollow voice, it wouldnt be that hard.
Standing up, she went to the window, hands jammed in the pockets of her slacks. The cool pink blouse she wore provided a soft contrast to the tan on Andis arms. Absently, her hand went up to tuck a stray strand of hair into the French braid at the nape of her neck. If only she could put this off until another day, she thought.
Andi, Wes said, his gentle voice cutting into her thoughts to remind her he was still there. Eight years is a long time, and you were both practically kids. Dont you think hes put all that behind him by now?
Andi breathed a silent laugh. She had never been able to completely put it behind her. But she had lost more when the relationship ended than he had. She turned back to Wes, whod been friends with them both when they were all involved in a Christian discipling group in college. Of course he has. Im just worried about those resentments he had toward me the last time I saw him. They might get in the way of my offer.
Wes stood up and stuck the Tootsie Pop back in his mouth. Those resentments were unfounded. And your father was wrong. Everything that happened was wrong. His words were slurred around the candy, making what he said seem less important, but Andi knew better. Surely the past wont cloud a business deal like this.
