Second Time Around, by Melody Carlson, opens with Mallory Farrell attending her daughter’s wedding alone, due to her long-time boyfriend deciding he needed to move on. After all the festivities, Mallory heads back to her quiet fixer-upper home!
She had recently learned that her grandmother left her a tourist shop as an inheritance. When Mallory heads to the beach she knew as a teenager, she crosses paths with Grayson Matthews, formerly Todd Matthews, the handsome lifeguard many of her acquaintances had been in love with. After Grayson offers to buy the tourist shop, Mallory is not sure what direction to take. Now she has a decision to make!
When Mallory decides to hold onto the property, she soon learns that she has a monster job of restoration on her hands. A friend in town introduces her to a contractor, so Mallory is ready for the work to begin. When this contractor turns out to be a disaster, watch as Grayson steps in to save the day!
