One night in Vegas was a mistake. Ten months later, it's the only thing keeping them alive. Dr. Victoria "Tori" Paisley is a woman of logic and medicine, but she made one very illogical move: she got blackout drunk in Vegas and woke up married to a stranger. That stranger is Donte Reed, a cold-hearted billionaire with a reputation as an arrogant "dick" and a brother who has already leaked their "happily ever after" to the press to save the family's corporate image. Tori doesn't want Donte's money-she just needs to save her seven-year-old sister, Esme, who is fighting a rare childhood lung tumor. When Donte offers to pay for Esme's life-saving surgery in exchange for Tori staying married to him for eighteen months, she has no choice but to sign her life away to a man she can't stand. But as the "sham" marriage continues, the walls between them begin to crumble. Behind Donte's icy exterior is a man who would give up a kidney to save the woman he's accidentally fallen in love with. Just as Tori realizes she's carrying his child and is ready to admit her own feelings, a shadow from Donte's past strikes with lethal intent. After a near-fatal "accident" leaves Tori with a fractured skull and a missing memory, Donte is forced to play a dangerous game. To lure out the psycho ex-lovers who want Tori dead, he must do the one thing that might destroy her forever: make her believe he's back to his old, cheating ways. In a war of love, lies, and obsession, can Donte protect his family without losing the only woman who truly owns his heart?

SEQUEL TO HIS SECRET (highly recommended to read his secret first possibly could be read as a standalone) It's been four years since Amira walked away from Brooks Whitmore-and the life that nearly swallowed her whole. Now twenty-eight, she's graduated from cosmetology school, raising her daughter, Alina, and building a future of her own. Stronger, sharper, and unwilling to be anyone's secret again, Amira swears her past is behind her. But when a man she's casually seeing drags her to a political event, Amira finds herself face-to-face with Brooks for the first time in years. Only now, he's married. Only now, he's on the verge of the Vice Presidency. And only now, the truth about Alina threatens to surface. Brooks has everything he was raised to want-power, status, Margot on his arm. But behind closed doors he's colder and haunted by the woman he let slip away. What happens when their worlds collide again? When secrets can't stay buried? This time, Amira isn't the girl he left behind. She's a woman with something to lose.

Amira Hart was never meant to be part of the story. Not the public one, anyway. But behind every polished legacy is the girl no one talks about-the one who was loved in secret, then left in silence. For two years, Amira and Brooks Whitmore IV lived in that silence. He was the President's son, raised for cameras and campaign trails. She was the woman he chose when no one was watching. Their worlds were never meant to meet. The cards were stacked long before they kissed in the dark. Now, two years later, a wedding invitation arrives. His name is on it. So is hers. Told in fragments and flashbacks, His Secret is a quiet storm of a love story-about memory, erasure, and the women history tries to forget.
