Three weeks. That's all the time Penelope Hart has left as the White House Social Secretary. And all the time she has left to convince her boss, First Lady Ramsey, to write her a glowing recommendation letter. Which means she has to stay in the first lady's good graces-and stay far away from the first son, Kellan Ramsey.
Only Kellan has no intention of staying away. He's waited years for the chance to be with Penelope again and he's not going to waste a second, let alone three weeks. He's convinced this is their time...but will Kellan's executive pursuit cost Penelope her dreams?

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.

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.Complete
Silent Deception (Wattys 2025)

But soon, he wants more. Her time. Her body. Her focus. And his secrets run dark and deep. Just as she starts slipping into Julian's magnetic orbit, Crown Prince Evander De Navarre of New Everest shows up-entitled, intoxicating, and sinfully persuasive. He's used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Samantha. Suddenly, she's trapped between two powerful, complicated men: Julian, brooding and unreadable. Evander, dangerous in a way she can't quite name. But this isn't just a twisted romance. As the love notes grow more threatening and her ex's mysterious disappearance begins to resurface, Samantha realizes the truth is far darker than she ever imagined. This isn't about desire. It's about control. It's about survival. And someone is watching her every move.Complete![Second Love [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/56248328-256-k14202.jpg)
