Best laid
plans…are meant to be broken.
Life laid
out, Tessa had everything set. Engaged to marry the perfect man, a rich,
great-looking doctor, she was content with her life, or so she thought. Then
the gift arrived. Delivered to her office on Valentine’s Day, it was filled
with handcuffs, sexy little toys and a suggestive little card.
It wasn’t
from her fiancé, either.
When the
emails and the phone started coming, she should have been able to brush them
off, except the man said something that left her uneasy…and not because he
scared her, but because he was right. Your fiancé will never make you happy,
Tessa.
Confused,
she starts looking at her fiancé, her life…and other things…in a whole new
light. One of the things she finds herself considering is her best friend and
neighbor, Caleb. He’s always been there. Even when he spent years in the Navy,
Caleb was the one she could count on and now isn’t any different. He’s there to
listen when she needs an ear and he’s got nice, strong shoulders when she needs
one to lean on.
It doesn’t
her long to realize that one thing is certain—her fiancé can’t make her happy.
But now she doesn’t know whether she wants to take a chance on her sexy secret
admirer…or Caleb, the man who’s been there waiting for her all along.

Liza's Review:
I missed this story from Shiloh Walker when it was originally
published, so it was like reading a brand new story to me, which from all the
changes Ms. Walker has made, it should be a brand new story for everyone.
I liked Seduced in Secret.
It is a novella length story that is a really fast read. Tessa seems like a
really strong woman, yet as the story begins, she is engaged to a man who
basically wants to tell her how to run her life. I think even before the gifts
from her secret admirer Tessa knew she needed to end things with her
fiance.
I loved the friendship that has been a part of Tessa and Caleb's
life since they met as children. While Tessa has always seen Caleb and just a
friend, Caleb has loved Tessa pretty much his whole life. I enjoy the friends
to lovers troupe, and think Ms. Walker did a great job moving Tessa and Caleb
from just friends to more. They seemed to have a connection to one another from
the beginning and I really loved when Caleb finally stepped up and shared his
real feelings with Tessa.
I quickly figured out who the secret admirer was and thought it
added a good twist to this love story. I liked both Tessa and Caleb and really
liked them as a couple as well. I enjoyed watching their relationship change
and grow over the course of the story.
***Seduced in Secret
also includes a short bonus story Don't
Walk Away.***
