About this listen

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Probst comes a story in her Stay series.

Chloe Lake is finally living her dream. As the daughter of the Governor, she’s consistently in the spotlight, and after being dubbed the Most Eligible Bachelorette of NYC, both her career and personal life has exploded. Fortunately, her work as an advocate for animal welfare requires constant publicity and funding, so she embraces her role and plays for the camera - anything for the sake of her beloved rescues.

But when a big case is on the line, she’s faced with the one obstacle she never counted on: the boy who broke her heart is back, and in order to gain justice, they need to work together.

Chloe swears she can handle it until old feelings resurface, and she’s faced with a heartbreaking choice.

Will this time end differently - or are they destined to be only each other’s first love - instead of forever?

Owen Salt fell hard for Chloe when he was a screwed-up kid in college, and spent the next years changing himself into the man his grandfather believed he was capable of. But when his career led him across the country, he knew he needed to leave the woman he loved behind. He’s never forgotten her, but as the new darling of the press, now, she’s way out of his league. When work brings him back to fight for justice by her side, he swears he can handle it.

But he’s never really gotten over his first love - and he wants one more opportunity to prove he’s a man who’s worthy.

Can Owen convince the woman who holds his heart to take a second chance on forever - or is it too late for them both?

**For fans of Jennifer Probst’s Stay series, Begin Again is book five in that series.**

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new listeners, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Excellent Narration here (including some better "Irish-speak" when Aidan's around)

Chloe first appeared in The Start of Something Good - as a 19 year old, doing community service at the Bishop family's farm, which also took in rescue animals. Owen first appeared in All Roads Lead To You - when he was 19 and Chloe was 21. He was also doing community service, but not happily, and not well. He had a crush on Chloe but it never turned into anything more until Ethan & Mia's wedding (toward the end of All Roads). They dated seriously for a couple of years but then Owen's grandfather died and he felt like he needed to take a new path for a while and force himself to grow up and become his own man, a man who could deserve Chloe's love. But he broke Chloe's heart in the process - and now, 4 years later (I think) he's back in NYC and he wants Chloe's heart back - because she's had his all along. Sweet story of First Love, Forever Love.

Sweet Scale: 4/5

I loved seeing Owen and Chloe get their second chance with each other. I’ve enjoyed their relationship throughout this series by Jennifer Probst and so glad they finally get their HEA. The narrators did a wonderful job with their performances and brought the characters and story to life.

Great second chance romance
