Secret Lover by Lore Townsend

Am I really his good girl? Or just his dirty little secret?

Reina:
My friends all warned me about him.
He’s a jerk, they said. He would never be interested in dating the staff.
But the look in his eyes as he slowly takes in every inch of my body makes him seem pretty damn interested.
I need to be taken seriously at my new waitressing job so I can get promoted and pay back my looming debt—not have everyone see me as the rich boss’s plaything.
One taste of Chef Dominic’s style of punishment, though, and my perfect plans are out the window.
Keeping our affair a secret seems like the perfect plan, but pretty soon, my life is just one big lie.
I want to build bridges with my friends and neighbors. Build a life for myself here. It’s impossible if I can’t let anyone know the real me.
The last thing I want to do is walk away…
But I can’t be his secret any longer.

Dom:
I’ve only got this year’s award season to prove to the world that my restaurant is the best—and save my life’s work from being turned into a burger joint.
The last thing I need is to get involved with a young member of the seasonal staff here at the Carribean resort I co-own with my three best friends.
But somehow, a certain sassy waitress has stolen my focus—and my heart.
I made her a proposition—keep it between us until the end of the season.
It seems so simple, especially when we both have a lot on the line.
I just never imagined what keeping our secret would come to mean to her.
Now I’ve got to prove to her—and to myself—that I can be a man who isn’t afraid to stand up for what he believes in.
Even if it means choosing between my restaurant and my girl.
