New Release

Eight years ago, they walked away from something real. Now fate—and a child—bring them back together.

When Irene Simpson left Blake Hart behind, she never imagined she'd return to Jamaica with a secret that would change both their lives: their daughter, Isla. Focused on her career and guarding her heart, Irene never expected to see Blake again—let alone feel the pull of everything they once shared.

Blake has spent the last eight years building a legacy at Hartland, but Irene's return shatters his carefully constructed world. He never stopped loving her, and now he has something new to fight for—a family he never knew he had.

But love the second time around is rarely simple. As old wounds resurface and unspoken truths come to light, Blake and Irene must decide if they're willing to take the risk… or walk away once more.

A tender, emotional second-chance romance about love, timing, and the ties that never truly break.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where is my book?

Once you purchase a book from me, you will get an email from help@bookfunnel.com with a link to download the book. If you can’t find the email with your book download in your inbox, here are some tips:

  • Check your spam/junk box.  Sometimes overzealous spam filters get in the way and deliver the email there instead of your inbox.
  • If you paid with PayPal and your PayPal email address is different from the email you normally use, the book may be delivered to the email associated with your PayPal.
  • If you still don’t see it, email brenalbar@gmail.com I will help you get your download link!

How does it help authors if I buy direct?

If you buy direct, we get paid within hours or days, rather than months — which helps us create more books.

We can also email you to tell you about other books you might enjoy.

While authors love the big stores and you can find our books there too, it's becoming pretty crowded on those sales pages! Our direct stores allow us to feature our products without having other products competing against them. 

I have a problem with my order. Do you offer returns?

It's important to me that you are happy with your order. If you have a problem or an issue, please contact me and I will get it sorted.

In what order should I read your books?

Most of my books are written so that they can be read as stand-alone stories, even if they are in a series. If you'd like to read in order, you can find a list here.
