Broken Vows, Second Chances Is Back—Stronger Than Ever

Some stories deserve a second chance.

When Broken Vows, Second Chances Book One: Love & Eric was first released, I never imagined the journey it would take me on. As my debut novel, it introduced readers to Love and Eric's emotional story of heartbreak, betrayal, forgiveness, and the difficult road toward healing. Within just ten days of its release, the novel reached Amazon's Top Seller lists in three categories—a milestone I will always be grateful for.

But as every author grows, so does their craft.

Over the past year, I listened carefully to readers, studied the publishing industry, and continued developing my writing. While so many readers fell in love with Love and Eric's story, I knew there were places where I could make the reading experience even stronger. Rather than moving on to the next project without looking back, I made the decision to return to the book that started it all.

Today, I'm proud to announce the relaunch of Broken Vows, Second Chances Book One: Love & Eric – Definitive Edition.

This isn't a new story. It's the story I always envisioned—presented with the experience I've gained since becoming a published author.

What's New?

The Definitive Edition has been professionally re-edited and carefully revised to create a smoother, more immersive reading experience. Readers can expect:

  • Improved pacing and chapter flow.
  • Refined dialogue and stronger emotional impact.
  • Corrections to grammar, punctuation, and continuity.
  • Reorganized scenes for better readability.
  • Expanded moments that deepen the characters and their relationships.
  • A beautifully redesigned cover that better reflects the heart, emotion, and journey of Love and Eric's story.
  • An updated presentation that reflects my growth as an author.

The heart of the story hasn't changed.

Love is still the woman who must decide whether walking away is the only way to save herself.

Eric is still the man forced to confront the devastating consequences of the choices he made.

And their journey remains one of love, heartbreak, redemption, and discovering whether broken vows can ever truly lead to second chances.

For New Readers

If you've never experienced Broken Vows, Second Chances, there has never been a better time to begin. The Definitive Edition is the version I recommend to every new reader and serves as the official edition moving forward.

For Returning Readers

To everyone who supported me from the very beginning—thank you.

Your encouragement, reviews, messages, and honest feedback helped shape this edition. You believed in this story before anyone else did, and I'll never take that for granted.

I hope you'll return to Providence, reconnect with Love and Eric, and experience their journey in a whole new way.

This relaunch isn't simply about correcting a book.

It's about honoring the readers who believed in me, celebrating how far I've come as an author, and setting the foundation for everything that's still to come.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey.

With love,

Anastasia Rhiley
Author of Broken Vows, Second Chances
