About the Book

"Utterly unforgettable.” —Falguni Kothari, author of The Object of Your Affections, on Then, Now, Always

"This was the kind of story that lives and breathes with you." —Shaila Patel, author of Soulmated, on Then, Now, Always

Sometimes first love is better the second time around.

Maya Rao has made her own dreams come true: she’s the owner of a bustling café and bakery in New York and the mother of a beautiful teenage daughter, Samantha. But when Samantha lands in legal trouble over a misdemeanor she didn’t commit, Maya is desperate. Desperate enough to call Samantha’s dad, Sam Hutcherson, whom Maya left abruptly many years ago, and who is now a successful lawyer. The problem? Sam doesn’t know he has a daughter.

Sam has put Maya firmly in his past, despite how shattered he was when she broke his heart. So he’s both dumbfounded and furious to find Maya outside his office asking for his help—with a picture of a girl who looks just like him. But as Sam reconnects with Maya, those old sparks begin to fly. Can he even picture a future with the woman who wrecked his past?

Don’t miss The Second First Chance by Mona Shroff! A stunning new novel about courage, hope and second chances perfect for fans of Katherine Center and Jill Santopolo.
