TAKE A CHANCE ON ME is a novella & it's Book 1 in Marilyn Brant's Mirabelle Harbor series. This book and ALL of the contemporary romances in this series can be enjoyed as stand-alone stories. Welcome to Mirabelle Harbor! In this scenic suburb on Chicago's North Shore, overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Michigan, the Michaelsen family has made their home for generations. Although their parents and grandparents are now gone, siblings Derek, Blake, Sharlene, and the twins-Chandler and Chance-all have fond memories of growing up in town, and most still live there. Chance Michaelsen, the youngest member of the family (by two minutes) and the quietest (by far), is a dedicated twenty-eight-year-old personal trainer at the local gym. While he might not say much, Chance has made it clear that he's not a fan of toxic people, unhealthy habits, or sharing too many of his emotions. With anybody. Enter Antonia "Nia" Pappayiannis-the prettiest member of the loudest and most overly demonstrative family in town. They're also the owners of The Gala, a Greek restaurant and bakery known for its decadent pastries and located just a few steps from Chance's gym. He considers their entire family business to be the enemy of good health, but he can't quite shake his attraction to Nia, who doesn't seem nearly as impressed with him or his sculpted physique as most of the women around Mirabelle Harbor. Unfortunately, between her doctor's orders and the interfering ways of Chance's crazy-making ex-girlfriend, who just happens to be one of Nia's long-time friends, Chance gets assigned to be Nia's fitness coach for the month. Pure torture. And if his ex weren't already causing enough problems, he also has to deal with Nia's current boyfriend-some hotshot Chicago CEO who talks big but, in Chance's opinion, is as fake as a Styrofoam barbell. The road to romance is going to be a rocky one, and though Nia has her doubts about moving forward, Chance has a well-developed competitive streak and might just be willing to give it a shot...if he can convince her to do the same. In matters of the heart, would you risk it all? TAKE A CHANCE ON ME, a Mirabelle Harbor story.

I extended my hand to her because I was a professional and that was what we did when we met a new client. It didn't have anything to do with my desire to touch her. Much. She looked at me oddly. Hesitant. Like she was afraid I'd try to out muscle her or something. So I added a slight smile. If anything, she looked even more worried then, but she finally took my hand and shook it. God, her skin was so soft. "Chance." She stated my name rather than asked. How insane was it that I was proud of this? That she knew who I was already? Then I looked down and realized I was wearing my trainer nametag. Oh. "Yes," I said. "Nice to meet you." This was such a freakin' understatement it was almost a lie. I was usually only attracted to very athletic women, but Nia Pappayiannis had a different style and body type than the typical crowd of single twenty-something ladies I ran into at the gym. She was all softness and curves, dressed in her very conservative white t-shirt and blue yoga pants. Other women wouldn't look hot in such a plain outfit. Nia rocked the look. "Likewise," she said. "Have you belonged to a gym before?" I asked. She shook her head. "It's not really my scene." I was suddenly very interested to know what *was* her scene...
