Chances Are Series by Lee Brazil

His Grandma always said he'd come to no good. Chances Are, she's right. Meet Aaron "Chance" Dumont: "I'm Chance, this is my place. You want me; this is where you can find me." The problem with that, of course, was that it wasn't my name. My name was actually Aaron Dumont. I picked up the name Chance as a kid when my grandma kept telling me "Chances are you'll come to no good, just like your pa." She had said it so often, it just kind of stuck. I've been Chance ever since... moreHis Grandma always said he'd come to no good. Chances Are, she's right. Meet Aaron "Chance" Dumont: "I'm Chance, this is my place.

I've been Chance ever since. When she passed away and left me the remains of her estate, I sold everything but a few special items then invested it all in a nest egg for a rainy day. I figured that's what she'd intended it for anyway. She'd said as soon as I joined the police force back in the eighties. "Chances are you'll come to no good there. It's a dangerous job and you're an accident waiting to happen." She was right too. less

The ghost of his past keeps Aaron “Chance” Dumont from settling into his new relationship with Rory. Tired of coming in second place to a memory, Rory fights back in his own way with tragic results. Realizing that second chances in life are rare, Chance finally makes a decision…and then the past walks through his door.

"There's a fifty-fifty chance he's lying to me." When the body of an ex-cop is found in the men's room of the Chances Are, Chance and Rory are the prime suspects. Chance knows he didn't do it, but he can't be sure of Rory. Rory hasn’t been the same since his experience at The Nexus, and Chance wonders if he knows Rory any more at all. Warning: This is the third book of a series. While it can be read alone, reading the others will enhance the reading experience.
