Second Glance
Elizabeth Bakersfield is back! With a month of service behind her, Elizabeth is better than ever at meeting the needs of Neapolitans with merchandise from Ganderley’s. Who cares if she hasn’t heard a peep from the elusive Nicholas Harrington since their daring escapade three weeks ago? She hasn’t needed her employers’ problem solver at all. And Christmas will be here soon, bringing best friend Marcy home from New York!
The Ganderley sisters are also returning, though, which leaves Elizabeth wondering if her time managing the world’s strangest library is nearly over. What then?
While part of her—the part that isn’t constantly wondering where Nick got off to—hopes they’ll keep her on, Elizabeth’s hopes come crashing down when one of the priceless antique cars in the sisters’ collection is stolen. The Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Barker tourer is gone. There is no way they’ll keep her on if she can’t find the car before the sisters arrive.
With a happiness she mostly refuses to acknowledge, Elizabeth calls Nick. But the reasons they uncover for the theft leave Elizabeth with an even bigger dilemma: get the car back and have a hope of staying on at Ganderley’s? Or give in to the thief’s persuasive reasons and definitely lose her job?
It’s a situation even Nick can’t help with. He’s too busy holding on to his own reasons for those three weeks of silence.
As tensions rise, Elizabeth must pick a lane…and hope it doesn’t lead her right off a cliff.

At the request of its clients, Glass Road expanded in 2010 to offer publishing and agenting services to writers, changing its name to Glass Road Media & Management.

She is also a published novelist and memoirist: Prints Charming (Thomas Nelson), Sisters, Ink; Coming Unglued, Scrapping Plans, Perfect Piece (all B&H Publishing Group/LifeWay), First Blush and Second Glance (independent) and Lights Out (with Travis Freeman, BelieversPress).

The former Family Research Council Witherspoon Fellow for Media and University of Tennessee University Scholar holds a Master of Arts in Mass Communication and a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Political Science.
Rebeca lives in Naples, Florida, with her long-suffering husband, their two incredibly fabulous children, a rescued chocolate chihuahua (who may be a Russkiey toy – she’s not talking), a rescued tabby (who’s keeping a close eye on the Mexican/Russian dog), two cockatiels (who got here by accident after starring in one of Rebeca’s productions), and a partridge in a pear tree (kidding…for now).
Rebeca's writing home is at SeitzWrites.com and she blogs about matters of faith, religion and philosophy at Freevangelic.com.
