Product Description

A romance set in New Orleans amidst betrayal, Hurricane Katrina, and the new beginnings hardships and heartbreak sometimes make possible.

Tully Gaston Badeaux might be successful in the courtroom, but at home her relationship with her partner, Dr. Jessica Badeaux, and their children are falling apart. In one life changing moment precipitated by a cup of spilt coffee, the world Tully had so carefully constructed comes to an end.

As Tully struggles to pick up the pieces, two women add to the complications--Dr. Kara Nicolas, the woman who stole her wife, becomes a professional adversary in the courtroom, and Libby Dexter, the young woman who moves in to assist with the kids, offers more than a helping hand.

Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans....
Great book and not just because it pays homage to a fantastic city in my home state! What great writing! I had never read a book by Ali Vali but I will definitely read another. Second Season is about romance, love, heartbreak, betrayal- all the factors that make for a great romance novel- with the added factor that the main players are lesbians. And what a wonderful way to honor a great city that saw such tragedy with Hurricane Katrina. Cudos to Ms. Vali! Laissez Le Bon Temp Roule,La Lousiane

Ali Vali stories rock!
I really enjoy reading all of Ali Vali's books and Second Season does not disappoint. The characters are initially faced with loss, disappointment and fear. The story takes the characters through discovery, growth, love and security and in the end all is basically well and the girl gets the girl.

Vali Keeps on Ticking
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The high quality writing, multi-dimensional characters and phenomenal premise are what I've come to expect from Ali Vali. The talented author has a gift which keeps this reader hungry for her next publication.

Here, Vali introduces four women whose lives are intertwined. There is Kara Nicolas, a surgeon who is being sued for negligence in the death of a child. Kara, who isn't fond of children, is having an affair with Jessica Badeaux - mother of two. Jessica is married to Tully Badeaux, the prosecuting attorney in Kara's lawsuit. Tully buys coffee every morning from and tutors law student Libby Dexter. Libby has a crush on Tully and bonds quickly with Tully's two children. One can only imagine the drama that comes from this concoction of characters. Add the trauma of Hurricane Katrina to the mix and you have one heck of a great story.

It takes a lot of imagination to combine these ingredients into a successful story. The author does a nice job keeping everything and everyone `straight'; I didn't pick up on even one timeline or relationship error. On a personal level, the addition of Katrina made the story even more dramatic (I grew up near Biloxi and still have family there) and I applaud Vali's courage to write about such a tragic event.

Keep them coming Ali. This reader can't wait for more.
