him know.

just as strong now as it was then and Emma feels it too, but there

surprise villain and plenty of action in Dirty Secrets.
This, combined with the tender and sensual romance between Emma and
Christopher make Dirty Secrets a fantastic story.
Emma and Christopher are wonderful; the story and surrounding
characters are all thoroughly engaging as well. Dirty Secrets
is filled with thrills, chills and heartwarming passion.
It's a superb romantic suspense story.

with a bang and ends with a sigh. The action and excitement
continue throughout the story until its tender conclusion. Amanda
