Love’s Second Chance Series – “Family” Tree

I've thought about jotting down a family tree for quite some time now - and I was asked about it several times. So I went ahead and started on an outline of a family tree for our heroes and heroines of the Love's Second Chance Series. Since they are not all related, it is not really a "family" tree, but let's not be nitpicky, shall we?

 

On the graph and description below, you can follow up in which book each hero and heroine is appearing before or after their own story.

  1. I love your Second Chance series. I can’t wait after I read one to get the next in the series. I love that you interweave characters that show up in other stories so that we can keep up with the ones we care about. Please keep them coming.

  2. Very much looking forward to a story about Henri and Juliet…stumbled upon you and love your books. So love having characters that continue on through more than just 3 books! Thank you!

  3. Such an enchanting tale of mixed up names and having the courage to pursue one’s heart’s desire. How easy it is to get lost in ourselves, even ignored by society, when we could be so much more when we open up to another, even over something as simple as ancient artifacts. This book is about taking a risk, even if one will look foolish in doing so. In the end, both will be mutually satisfied and have found their treasure! 5 stars I received a free copy of Love’s Second Chance Series Prequel: Ignored and Treasured: The Duke’s Bookish Bride by Bree Wolf and this review was given freely. A delightful fast paced tale set during the London Season featuring mistaken identity, loving sisters, and help from and unsuspected source. The heartwarming romances of Helen with Lord Alexander Kensington as well as Sophie with Lord Pierce Cromwell are both heartwarming and an excellent precursor for the series.

  4. O just finished “Fooled & Enlightened” . Did I miss Maggie & Ian’s story?? Is Blair really seeing Ian still alive? Will there be or is there a story of Ian? I felt so very sad for him even though he wasn’t a “Now” part of this story. My heart just wants his happiness also. Silly me, huh!

    • Hello Linda, Maggie and Ian’s story is only told in bits and pieces throughout the HIGHLAND TALES books. But, yes, Ian will get a story of his own because quite frankly I, too, want his happiness. He deserves his own happily-ever-after, and I promise he’ll get it. Stay tuned! 🙂

      • I just finished re-reading Fooled & Enlightened. Has Ian gotten his own book yet? I really want to find out what happens to him.

  5. And Alexander? Did you leave that open for more on purpose?
    I know from family history there was British law that allowed for a remarriage if ones spouse was continually absent … for the space of 7 years..and shall not have been known to be living within that time. I think first act dates back to 1603…. Does he get a happy ending as his daughter foresaw?
    Loved all your books – couldn’t stop!! … can’t wait for Henri’s…and Charlaine’s…

  6. Will Ian get his happy ever after? I know from family history that in British law As early as 1603 allowed for remarriage after a period of absence after 7 years if one of the partners did not know the other to be living within that time.
    Have loved your books … have not been able to stop my KU binge read… looking forward to Henri’s (is that where Ian will reappear?). .. and Charlaine’s… My husband is relieved I’ve read them all and I’m back in the land of the living!!

  7. Is the Henri & Juliet story written yet? I see someone already asked, but it was almost a year ago. I wanted to make sure I hadn’t overlooked it if it’s come out since…

    • Henri & Juliet’s story is not written yet, I’m sorry. I hope to get to it in 2021. When you’re signed up to my newsletter or following me on Facebook, you will not miss it! I promise!

  8. I’m so anxious to find out what happens to Victoria! I cannot wait to read her story! I hope she gets a powerful Duke that loves her mindlessly!

    • Hi Yvette,

      Ian’s story will be told, but it’s still not written down. I can’t tell you when it’ll be coming, but it will!

      All the best,

      Bree

  9. there are a couple of characters whose story we don’t yet have. I won’t mention the ones above as you’ve already answered.
    Robert and Cecilia – Maggie’s brother and his wife – have I missed it?
    Adelaide’s brother John – we’ve met him a few times, he’s still single and needs his own HEA – please?

    • No, I haven’t written a story for Robert and Cecilia. It is an intriguing thought, though! We’ll see. wink But, yes, we’ll see Adelaide’s brother John again. I don’t know yet where his path will lead him, but when the time comes, I’m sure he’ll share it with me.

  10. I enjoy your stories. . . I love getting to know the characters, their trials and their courage to face them honorably.

  11. I enjoy your stories. . . I love getting to know the characters and their courage to face life’s challenges. You pull your reader into their feelings, and get us to champion their causes.

    As a writer, you do not tell , but develop your stories.

  12. Is there away we can preorder the shield of fire. I would like to have pop into my library when it is available. Have not missed one yet and I lo e your stories

  13. When will Blair McDrummond and Victor Duret story be published? Mentioned in Epilogue of Second Chances Highland Series last book.

  14. I’m trying to find the story of Henri and Juliet. Has it been written yet? The story intrigued me that I read in Garrett and Claudia story. That is one I really want to read.
    I have read a lot of your books and enjoy them so.
