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.
Digital and print versions include a Reading Guide that’s perfect for book clubs and groups.

The trilogy is part of the Carson Brothers series and is Troy and Jessica’s story.
Garrett Carson and Kellan Carson will also have books, but theirs will be standalone novels (like Lucas and Simone’s story). It wasn’t possible to tell Troy and Jessica’s story in one book. Hence the Hidden Secrets trilogy.
