In a desperate bid to regain control of her life, Mercy reaches out to her friend, Max Bamford, a ruthless media boss with a reputation for uncovering corruption. Max's lifeline changes everything, but Mercy's hopes for a new beginning are threatened by Lucas's ambitions and risk the happiness of the person she loves most. Armed with devastating evidence that can destroy Lucas's political future, Mercy is torn between protecting her son and taking revenge on his father.

Is love the price for living the dream? Ambitious real estate agent River Osei loves her job and dreams of living in a home as beautiful as those she sells to her clients. Putting marriage to her artist boyfriend Cameron on the back burner, River's only focus is to hit her house fund target. But River's plan is thrown into turmoil when she negotiates a sale to demanding music mogul, Donald Ayo. He is immediately taken with her, and she is equally taken with his house - a beautiful mansion in the luxurious gated community of Marula Heights. With Donald pressing for a deal that includes more than a house, River is forced to choose between the man she loves and a lifestyle she craves. But living the dream isn't always what it seems and even the best fantasies come at a cost. Faced with the real-life consequences of her choice, River must learn that a house is not a home and love is not for sale.

This is sure to charm.” ―Publishers Weekly\n“With lovable characters, this heartwarming, humorous, romantic story will resonate with anyone who’s path to finding love hasn’t exactly been smooth.” ―Candis magazine\n“I adored this heartwarming and life-affirming tale of second chances and love against the odds.” ―My Weekly magazine\n“I loved this novel! There was so much to love about it. A big, bold, beautiful rollercoaster of a book, in which the main characters are a modern-day fairytale couple. The story kept me turning the pages. Adorable read.” ―Judy Leigh, USA Today bestselling author\n“I adore a good love story and Mensah Williams always knows how to deliver when it comes to modern-day romances.” ―Dorothy Koomson, author of My Other Husband\n“A gorgeously compelling contemporary with a fantastic supporting cast of friends and family who can’t resist complicating Henry and Cara’s growing love affair with their own messy and gloriously human problems. The Second Time We Met is a hugely satisfying comfort read, all told with genuine warmth and humor.” ―Katy Moran, author of Scandalous Alchemy\nWith another chance at love, what could possibly go wrong? 
Recovering from heartbreak, unlucky-in-love events manager Cara has vowed to avoid relationships. That is until fate throws her into the path of handsome and kind Henry, who is worlds apart from the men she’s dated before. Unfortunately, this encounter is short-lived when Cara misses her coach home―and with it, any chance of seeing him again. 
But fate is not finished with the mismatched couple. When Cara quite literally bumps into Henry a second time at a work event, the run-in leaves them with feelings instead of bruises, and they can’t wait another day before seeing each other again. Yet it soon becomes clear how deeply different their worlds are: Cara’s drama-filled African and Caribbean family couldn’t be further from Henry’s family of wealthy lords and ladies. 
With interfering relatives, problem friends, and an inconvenient ex-boyfriend attempting a comeback, everything seems stacked against the two new lovebirds. This is no straightforward love story―Cara and Henry will have to get creative with romance if they stand any chance of beating the odds to win their happy ever after. 
The Second Time We Met is a hilarious and heartwarming romance, perfect for anyone who believes in second chances.
