Amelia is desperate for a second chance after losing her boyfriend, her best friend, and her job. She just wasn't expecting that second chance to be on a Greek island...with a newly gifted, rundown hotel to run...and accidentally married to a total stranger. As they say in Greece- Opa!

It's all fun and games until you accidentally marry a stranger in Greece and inherit a hotel.

Amelia Lang's life is kind of a mess. She's stuck living at home with her narcissistic mother. Her tech bro ex-boyfriend deliberately sabotages her at work, and she gets fired after throwing a mug at his head (it's okay! She missed.) Then she has a major falling out with her best friend. So Amelia does what Amelia does bestβ€”she runs away.

After travelling around Europe for three months, she settles on a small Greek island to reset her life and figure out what's next. But after too much retsina, she gets tricked into marrying James, another guest at the hotel, who is perfectly niceβ€”but perfectly boring. To top it off, they are gifted the very hotel they're staying inβ€”a hotel they don't want that is in desperate need of some TLC. They agree to keep the hotel open through the busy summer season for the sake of the island's quirky but well-meaning residents, after which Amelia plans to return home to start rebuilding her disastrous life.

Amelia and James must work together to determine how to get out of their situationβ€”easier said than done for Amelia, who's started to feel a strong spark of attraction for James. But Amelia is sure her real life is waiting for her back in San Francisco. Is it time for Amelia to return home, or could this be the second chance at a new life she didn't know she wanted?

The Second Chance Hotel by Sierra Godfrey explores the unexpected twists of fate, leaving readers wondering if true happiness might be found in the most unlikely places.

About the Author

SIERRA GODFREY is a tech editor by day who loves writing stories about complex relationships. She lives in the foggy wastelands of the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, sons, and a bevy of animals, all of which seemed like a good idea at the time. A Very Typical Family was her first novel.
