I have a secret life no one knows about and it’s my true passion—I’m a romance author. When I moved to the small town of Silverton to help with my dad’s book store, I didn’t plan to let anyone in on the career I’ve quietly been building. In fact, I’ve been just fine keeping the truth all to myself until Adam Carter stumbles upon my secret identity and everything changes.
Adam is the gorgeous ex-special ops soldier I instantly liked, and immediately understood is off-limits. I want marriage and family in the future, and it’s clear I’d never have them with him.
I’ve kept my crush under wraps, but now that he’s helping me with my latest novel and teaching me about his life as a combat medic, I can’t ignore the chemistry between us, especially when he helps me act out scenes for my books. And the more time we spend together blurring the lines between fiction and reality, it seems neither can he.
But when the truth of my secret identity comes crashing down, the test of our relationship isn’t just whether we have staying power—it’s whether we can survive it at all.
