This is the second book in the Starting Over Series by Evan Grace.  Stacy is dating Mark Jefferson, an undercover DEA agent with a pretty big secret.  After Stacy finds out about Mark's big omission of the fact that he's married with kids, she does what all self respecting women would do and kicks his ass to the curb! Good for you Stacy!  But Mark doesn't go easily and quickly becomes major stalker material.  
Enter Dustin... swoon! Can I have him please?!?!  I loved seeing their relationship develop and how Dustin was always there for Stacy.  It's understandable for Stacy to be hesitant about entering into a relationship again after all she dealt with with Mark.  I enjoyed slowly seeing her control and ability to resist the strong attraction to Dustin slip a little more each time she thought of him.
Second Chances is a nice blend of romance and suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more.  Anxiously awaiting the next book!

Excerpt
Stacy stood there for a minute enjoying the night. The sun had already set and the trees lining the walk way were decorated with twinkle lights. There weren’t too many people out front milling around as Stacy made her way back towards the doors.
“Stacy?”
She knew that voice and felt her body tense. Stacy slowly turned to see Mark standing next to a tree. He looked better than the last time she saw him, but she still didn’t want anything to do with him.
“What are you doing here Mark? I thought I made it clear that we’re over.” Stacy made sure she didn’t get anywhere near him.
He just stared at her for a minute not saying anything. Mark took a step towards her, but she put a hand out to halt him.
“Stop, don’t come any closer. Wait you know what I’m going inside I don’t care why you’re here.” Stacy turned and walked away from him.
“Stacy please I’m sorry. I love you and I’m sorry I hurt you. Please take me back.” Great, now Mark was begging.
“No Mark good-bye.” Stacy turned and walked back into the building. She couldn’t be sure, but she swore she heard him yell ‘You’re mine Stacy’.
