Mr. David Baxter has a plan for everything—even his death. He took extraordinary measures to ensure that Chastity, his assistant, is left in charge of everything he held dear. Unfortunately, his vicious sister is contesting his will vehemently. David Baxter’s death has set forth a turn of events that will change the lives of those he loved forever.

She never expected what would happen when the fight over his estate is taken to the next level. As her world spins, Chastity must face her past and the frightening possibility that’s its coming back to get her.

Lt. Commander Kenton Stone has only had one love in his life and he’s walked away from her more than once. When he comes home to mourn his Uncle David’s death he is shocked to discover some truths hidden from him. Kenton is also terrified by the thought that the woman he loves is in danger. Chastity may not be ready for him to come back into her life but he is—and this time he’s never leaving. Will Kenton be able to protect Chastity from those that intend to do her harm? Can he convince her to take a chance on him? Find out as all the Secrets are exposed.

Erosa Knowles hits a grand slam with Secrets! I’m utterly in love with this story. Secrets gives the reader a fabulous plot to get emotional about and a superb romance to fall for. Chastity and Kenton make my heart go pitter patter. It didn’t take me a chapter to find a reason to stand behind this courageous woman. Chastity’s character is fierce and fragile at the same time. I love the progression of her relationship with Kenton. Kenton may be there to protect her body but it is his desire to win her heart that makes me swoon. Kenton is the perfect Alpha male; he has just enough faults to make him a great character. All of Ms. Knowles characters are engrossing. I could not get enough. Ms. Knowles mixes just the right amount of romance and suspense to make Secrets unforgettable!
