He wanted a chance to be himself. She gave him something real. When Hollywood's most elusive leading man, Hank "Ace" Sterling, escapes to Mallorca for a quiet break, the last thing he expects is to crash-literally-into Evy Braam, a small-town teacher and single mother finally taking time for herself. She doesn't recognize him. And for the first time in years, he isn't treated like a star-just a man. What begins as a chance encounter quickly becomes something deeper. Effortless conversation. Real connection. A spark neither of them planned-and neither of them can ignore. But real life waits back home. Evy has two daughters, a carefully built life, and a past that taught her not to risk everything on something uncertain. Hank lives in the spotlight, where privacy is an illusion and truth has consequences. When Hank shows up in her world instead of asking her to step into his, Evy is forced to face the one thing she's been avoiding: What if this is real? And what if she lets herself have it? A Chance to Be is a heartfelt, emotionally rich contemporary romance about second chances, trust, and the courage to be loved for exactly who you are.
