The California Chances series follows characters who take risks on love in frontier California. One Chance in a Million (2004), Taking a Chance (2005), and Second Chance (2005) each explore a different couple’s gamble on romance, with the collected California Chances (2006) gathering the stories.
The “Chance” theme running through the titles gives the series a unified identity within Hake’s broader California fiction.
