A steamy, dual-timeline romance about a survivor of domestic abuse starting her life over in a small town and the protective ex-Marine determined to save her... After being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, all Jessica Smithson wants is to start a new life where no one knows her true identity. Maple Ridge is the perfect place to hide from the media circus battling to know who really rid her of the man. A question she can't answer. The last thing she expects to find in the small idyllic mountain town is the good-looking and very persistent Troy Carson. From the moment he sees her, the ex-Marine is determined to help Jess with her anxiety attacks and to get to know her better. He's determined to help her renovate the old house she bought-a house with secrets hidden behind the walls. Heat simmers and grows between the pair, but Jess can't risk getting too close to Troy. Can't risk her own secrets being revealed. So much is at stake if the truth gets out. For fans of Rebecca Yarros's THE THINGS WE LEAVE UNFINISHED comes a toe-curling, dual-timeline romance that bridges the gap between past and present, love and loss, and heartbreak and healing. ONE MORE SECRET is the first book in the HIDDEN SECRETS TRILOGY. The books in the trilogy must be read in order. You don't need to read One More Chance (book 1 of the Carson Brothers series) to read the trilogy.

Best Friend Rule #1: never want the guy's sister.Oops. Six months ago, I broke off my engagement because I was tired of not even being a distant second to my fiancé's career. Which is why Trent Salway, my brother's best friend, is strictly forbidden. One workaholic in my life is more than enough, thank you. We'll just ignore how I've been secretly crushing on him for as long as I can remember. The problem? My best friend-Trent's sister-is determined to find me Mr. Right. *** Before being deployed on a Navy SEAL mission, my best friend makes one simple request: I'm supposed to make sure that his sister Kelsey isn't dating any assholes while he's away. Doesn't sound too hard, right? Living up to my promise includes crashing at least one blind date-not my finest moment, I might add-and spending more and more time with Kelsey. Sparks fly between us, as do a few items of clothing. Now, I have to decide what to do about the woman I'm falling for-the one whose brother will take me down faster than he takes down the enemy. And I have to decide if I can be something other than a workaholic or if Kelsey is decidedly off limits.This special edition of Decidedly Off Limits also contains the novella Decidedly with You and two bonus short stories.

Jessica and Troy's exciting story continues in the second book of the HIDDEN SECRETS TRILOGY as passion and danger collide... Despite Jess's initial reluctance to get involved with ex-Marine Troy Carson, her friendship with him is growing to be something more. But love cannot exist without trust, and trust is something she can't afford-not when she needs to cling to the secrets of her past. Not when she's hoping to be part of her daughter's life again. Too much is at stake if the truth gets out. As Jess tries to put the pieces of her life back together after being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, she recognizes her past life in a new friend. Refusing to let history repeat itself, Jess is determined to get her friend away from the man who is abusing her. But in doing so, Jess's past is at risk of being revealed, costing her everything she holds dear: Troy. Her daughter. Her life... The dual timeline book is the second novel in Hidden Secrets Trilogy. The books in the trilogy have to be read in order. All other books in the Carson Brother series are standalone.
