Publisher Description
Two aching hearts. A meddling small town. A second chance.
It’s not a new story. Wife finds out husband’s been cheating on her and she packs up her four kids and heads back to her hometown, Sunrise Bay, Alaska.
Yeah, not a fresh start, but thousands of miles away from my ex will do just fine.
I’m prepared for the cold weather, the early snowfalls, and dark days and nights. What I’m not prepared for is coming face to face with my ex’s cousin and for the same feelings from twenty years ago to ignite like the flame never went out.
It doesn’t take long before people are whispering about the widowed Hank Greene and me. But we both have children to think of this time around. Then again, Hank knows what it’s like to be a single parent and sometimes those damn dimples of his make it hard to remember why we can’t be together.
NOTE: This is a prequel to The Greene Family series and does not have to be listened to in order to enjoy the series.

My Twist of Fortune
"I don't need to have a moose wish me good morning on my way to the van."
Return to Alaska with this prequel to the new Greene family series.
Marla returns home to Sunrise Bay, Alaska with her four children after finding out her husband cheating on her. When the water heater breaks in her parent's house call the town handyman to come help, who happens to be not only Marla's ex's cousin but her high school crush. Hank and Marla's feelings for each other seem to still be present after all these years.
I was excited that we are returning to Alaska and with another big family which means lots of fun and excitement to come. Hank and Marla's story was a great introduction to the family and how they came together. I was also excited that Dori is back and that Hank's mom, Ethel is her best friend. I am looking forward to this series.
Audio: Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did a great job with bringing this story to life and are two of my top narrators.
I loved it!
This is an amazing prequel to The Greene Family Series. OMG! This Family!! They all stole my heart! Hank and Marla's second chance to love is sweet and beautifully written. The characters, main and secondary, are well developed, and wonderful. Hank, a widower, and a great Dad of five kids, is handsome, and supportive. Marla, recently divorced, and a great Mom of four kids, is strong, and independent. Yes, you read it right, NINE kids, and they are awesome! As you can expect it, there are no dull moments in their journey! I love the family bonds in this Series. Marla's parents, and Dori and Ethel, Hank's Mom, are amazing supporting characters. This story is heartwarming, fun, and beautiful. IMPOSSIBLE to put it down. Joe Arden and Maxine Mitchell did an outstanding job with the narration. I love their voices together. I enjoyed it, and I highly recommend it! This is a great start to the Series, and I can't wait to listen to My Beautiful Neighbor, the first book in The Greene Family Series!
