Ce matin-là, lorsque le jeune Byron part à l'école en voiture avec sa mère Diana, un accident se produit au moment même où il voit l'aiguille de sa montre reculer. Leur vie bien construite va basculer dans le chaos ... Si deux secondes insignifiantes peuvent dérégler le cours d'une vie, alors seul le temps pourra aider Byron à faire ressurgir la vérité et guérir ses blessures.

Perfect (Second Opportunities, #2) A rootless foster child, Julie Mathison had blossomed under the love showered upon her by her adoptive family. Now a lovely and vivacious young woman, she was a respected teacher in her small Texas town, and she passionately lived her ideals. Julie was determined to give back all the kindness she'd received; nothing and no one would ever shatter the perfect life she had fashioned. Second Opportunities Series: Paradise (Second Opportunities, #1) Perfect (Second Opportunities, #2) Night Whispers (Second Opportunities, #3) Every Breath You Take (Second Opportunities, #4) Zachary Benedict was an actor/director whose Academy Award-winning career had been shattered when he was wrongly convicted of murdering his wife. After the tall, ruggedly handsome Zack escaped from a Texas prison, he abducted Julie and forced her to drive him to his Colorado mountain hideout. She was outraged, cautious, and unable to ignore the instincts that whispered of his innocence. He was cynical, wary, and increasingly attracted to her. Passion was about to capture them both in its fierce embrace...but the journey to trust, true commitment, and proving Zack's innocence was just beginning.
