The Later in Life Love Story series by Diana Xarissa Dunn focuses on romance for older characters. The seven books, all titled with “Second” (Second Chances, Second Act, Second Thoughts, and so on), were published quickly between 2020 and 2021.
The series fills a niche in romance fiction by centering on characters who are past the typical young-adult romance age. The “Second” theme in each title reinforces the idea that love can arrive or return at any stage of life.
