Second Chances Under Construction

Whispering Falls Short Story #8

Book cover: Second Chances Under Construction by JC Savoy

She had a crush. He had a secret. Now they've got a second shot—and maybe more than just a shoulder to fix.

Physical therapist Marcie Bell swore her return to Whispering Falls was strictly temporary. Patch a few shoulders, dodge small-town gossip, and definitely avoid falling for her high school crush all over again—especially since he's also her best friend's older brother.

Trevor Devlin is good with his hands—just not so great at talking about feelings. But when Marcie shows up at the clinic, older, bolder, and somehow even more unforgettable, the crush he buried years ago comes back swinging.

They're co-hosting a booth for the Spring Into Bloom Fair, but the sparks flying between them have nothing to do with wellness. With old feelings resurfacing and new risks on the line, Marcie and Trevor have to decide: is this just a nostalgic detour—or the second chance neither of them saw coming?
