Second Glance
He dismissed her once… now he can’t look away.
Five years ago, Jessica Watson overheard Jackson Roberts call her plain and unattractive—a careless comment that cut deeper than he ever realised. When tragedy struck and she lost her parents in a car accident, Jessica fled Sydney, determined to rebuild her life in Perth and leave the past behind.
Now she’s back—stronger, confident, and undeniably captivating. And Jackson? He can’t believe he ever overlooked the breathtaking woman standing before him. But Jessica has no interest in his sudden change of heart. She refuses to be drawn to a man who once dismissed her so cruelly.
Jackson is determined to prove he’s not the shallow, careless man he used to be. He sees Jessica for who she truly is—not just her beauty, but her courage, resilience, and heart.
As old sparks ignite and new tensions rise, Jessica must decide whether to trust him again or let the past keep her from the second chance at love she deserves.
Second Glance is written in dual POV and in the spirit of classic Mills & Boon, this heartfelt, standalone romance features second-chance love, enemies-to-lovers tension, personal transformation, emotional slow-burn, small-town charm, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.

This was fun…
This is one of my favorite tropes, when one half of the couple hears the other person denigrating them. In this story, the MMC thinks the FMC is, well, unattractive…
Five years later, that’s all changed. The FMC has somehow managed to become gorgeous. She’s tall, tanned, and toned. She runs to stay in shape, and she just glows with health.
This was so much fun! I love when the guy gets blindsided by the girl, and this guy was definitely blindsided.
Better than average, in my opinion. I really liked this one.

Jessica returns to Sydney stronger than the girl who once overheard Jackson’s careless words and she’s determined not to fall for the man who once dismissed her. But Jackson is equally determined to prove he sees her now, not just her beauty but the woman she’s become. Tender, emotional and deeply romantic, this is a story of learning to forgive, daring to hope and realising that sometimes love deserves a second glance.
A great read.
A great read.
