A
story of second chance love set between London and San Diego.
Thirteen
years ago Jonah Kennedy was one of America’s top tennis players,
whose six-foot-three bad-boy California looks won him hordes of
female admirers.
Thirteen
years ago Claire Jackson, a fiery, aspiring artist from London, was
the woman who stole his heart.
But
the two held a secret which tore them apart and sent Claire running
back to England.
They
tried to move on. Claire married, had a child and became a successful
TV personality. Jonah married, had a child and settled for life on
the road.
Thirteen
years later and both divorced, their paths cross again. Their
attraction is even deeper - they feel destined to be together.
Claire’s jealous ex, however, has other plans.
Can
Claire and Jonah hold on to their second chance at love or will their
past secret haunt them forever? After all, thirteen is only lucky for
some....

Info
Jo
Kessel is a journalist, working for the BBC and reporting and
presenting for ITV on holiday, consumer and current affairs programs.
She writes for several national newspapers in the UK including the
Daily Mail, the Telegraph, the Guardian and the Express and was the
anonymous author of the Independent’s hit column: Diary of a
Primary School Mum.
When
Jo was ten years old she wrote a short story about losing a loved
one. Her mother and big sister were so moved by the tale that it made
them cry. Having reduced them to tears she vowed that the next time
she wrote a story it would make them smile instead. Happily she
succeeded and with this success grew an addiction for wanting to
reach out and touch people with words. Jo lives in London with her
husband and three children. She loves traveling and since becoming a
mother anything even remotely sad makes her cry. She’s a sucker for
a good romance and tearjerker movies are the worst. She’s that
woman in the cinema, struggling to muffle audible wails as everyone
else turns round to stare.

Excerpt;
Everything
was so complicated - love, divorce, children, happiness. Perhaps if
it all came too easily the victories wouldn’t taste quite so sweet.
But, for every victory, there was a flip side, someone who lost or
suffered. Transatlantic relationships were problematic. Claire
thought about Madonna and Guy Ritchie, Gwyneth and Chris Martin. When
everything’s good, it’s great, but when the parents either
consciously or unconsciously uncouple, it’s the children and parent
left behind who suffer. Claire couldn’t help that Jonah lived in
America, but was she being selfish in wanting to emigrate and take
Miriam with her? What was the alternative? If Jonah came to the UK,
when would he see Martha? Someone would lose out whichever way you
looked at it. It was an imperfect world. She leaned her head on the
rail in front of her and closed her eyes.
