Second Pairing by Tess Thompson

Her daughter set her up on a dating app.
Her first match turned into her first TV client.
Now the cameras—and her heart—are rolling.

After her husband’s betrayal, single mom Lila Morgan built a safe life in Willet Cove: raising her daughter, running her design studio, and keeping her heart off-limits. Love wasn’t part of the plan. But Mia and her friends have other ideas. With a secret profile on the Second Chance dating app, they match her with Vance Prescott—a worldly sommelier and charming wanderer back in town after years abroad.

Sparks fly on their first date in a way neither expected. But then Lila’s brand-new reality design show launches, and her very first client is Vance. Suddenly, her private world is on display, her heart is at risk, and the press is circling.
Vance is used to the spotlight. Lila is not. But between bright lights, nosy kids, and an opposites attract chemistry that won’t be ignored, they might just discover that love can bloom later in life.

Because in Willet Cove, happily-ever-after might just start with a second pairing.
