He thought she was the one . . . until she walked away. Now she's back and he wants her more than ever.
As a former Marine, Xander Kingston’s writing keeps him sane. Bonus? His thrillers made him one of Hollywood’s most desired screenwriters – and also introduced him to a fledgling starlet who broke his heart. With his close-knit family in New York, Xander returned home and found peace. Until Sasha Keaton shows up at his Hamptons retreat. Now an A-Lister, she’s as beautiful as he remembers. And just as dangerous to his heart.
Sasha learned from watching her mother to never sacrifice her dreams for anyone—only to discover how empty life could be without the man she loved. Now cast in Xander’s latest movie, she needs his insight to play the part, but secretly hopes for a second chance.
Xander has built emotional walls to keep Sasha at a distance, but their physical attraction can’t be denied. When a stalker’s threats intensify, Xander moves Sasha into his house to keep her safe. Before long she's back in his bed and making inroads in his life.
But when the danger passes and the movie wraps, Sasha and Xander face a familiar choice—put career first or give love a fighting chance.

Just One Chance by Carly PhillipsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Xander and Sasha met years ago and the chemistry was off-the-charts. The problem was Sasha was working to build a career in Hollywood and Xander was looking for quiet after returning from war. Several years later, Xander’s writing career has turned his books into movies and the latest project needs a new lead actress. Enter Sasha, whose career is on fire and is the perfect choice for the movie. This duo hasn’t talked to each other since their split but will need to work together. I love that Sasha took the initiative to clear the air and establish a working relationship with Xander. Of course, Xander can’t deny his attraction so he wants a ‘friends with benefits’ situation until the movie is done. When a fan’s obsession gets more aggressive, Xander’s protective nature kicks in and he insists that Sasha stay with him to make protecting her easier. With all this close proximity, can they really rekindle a sexual relationship without feelings entering the picture? I appreciated the growth for both of these characters from when they were first together to their second chance at love as they learned to communicate more and embrace their paths and how they could compromise to have a shot at love. I enjoyed this passionate second chance romance. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
