Hello Wattpad Fam!
Today is a day I've been dreaming about for a long time.
Many of you met these characters when this story started here as "The Secrets We Keep." You watched it unfold, encouraged me to keep going, and helped convince me that this story deserved to grow beyond Wattpad.
"Our Secret Intentions" is officially available everywhere books are sold.
If you'd like to read the polished version, you can find it here:
• Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Intentions-Bloodlines-That-Burn-ebook/dp/B0GX2ZT3XR/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.QW3p0UUvx8THlly9dzNrU2S8wTPXOBFaM00mF_2UHoyo5XmYMBY0Z_OyDSP80NFu96KsazYW7WjVGMaF0ulyOVXQ843-2q4kPukU1oLPZlnRFajn18hL7otiUJXnRmXJrdZOIumQISKrdmnKbctnCDu9E1ZJpERjLW_Pbb0mLSg8VZpb8RpFuF99yvngdlrFd1jRE73ZRe166XTt8oxjkXEngS5Qo0shcH7UXXekyAw.S0vD3haLQmPGPqoytrjqByVEFpAHrsSnpM_5T949XtU&dib_tag=se&keywords=our+secret+intentions&qid=1781132585&sr=8-1

Hello my Wattpad Fam!
Tomorrow, The Secrets We Keep becomes Our Secret Intentions.
Tomorrow is something I've been dreaming about for a very long time.
Many of you first discovered this story here on Wattpad when it was called The Secrets We Keep. You read early versions, left comments, voted, encouraged me when I needed it most, and helped me believe this story could become something bigger.
Tomorrow, that story begins its next chapter.
Our Secret Intentions officially releases tomorrow as my debut novel.
To everyone who joined the ARC team — thank you! Your excitement, encouragement, and support have made this launch so special.
Tomorrow I'll send another update with links to every retailer where the book is available.
If you enjoyed the book, I'd be so grateful if you shared it with someone who loves messy relationships, family secrets, and dark romance. Word of mouth truly makes a difference for indie authors.
And if you decide you'd like to leave an honest review after you've finished reading, you can do so on Goodreads, Amazon, or your retailer of choice whenever you're ready. The Goodreads link is below for your reference.

Thank you for following this journey. I can't wait for you to experience the finished version.
See you tomorrow,
Lauren
@laurenmhayes So excited. I loved every moment of 'The Secrets We Keep' and can't wait to read the next installment.
Hi Everyone!
Just a quick reminder in case you missed my last update: ARC signups are still open for "Our Secret Intentions," formerly known here as "The Secrets We Keep."
An ARC is an Advance Reader Copy, which means selected readers get to read the polished version early before publication, see all the updates and revisions first, and be part of the excitement before everyone else!
Since this story began here, I especially wanted to give my Wattpad readers the first chance to sign up before I finalize the early-reader list.
So, if you’ve been wanting to read the final version early, now’s your chance. You can sign up here:
https://laurenmhayes.com/arc
Thank you again for reading, commenting, voting, and loving these characters just as much as I do. Your support truly means everything.
Lots of love,
Lauren
Hello my Wattpad fam!
I have an exciting update!
"Our Secret Intentions," fka "The Secrets We Keep," is officially getting ready for publication, and I’m putting together a small early-reader/ARC list for anyone who might want to read the polished version before release.
An ARC is an Advance Reader Copy, which means selected readers may receive the book early and, if they choose, leave an honest review when it releases.
If you’d like to be considered for an ARC copy, you can sign up here:
https://laurenmhayes.com/arc
And if you’d like updates about the book, this series, and future releases, you can also join my newsletter here:
https://laurenmhayes.com/join
I also wanted to give you an honest update.
First, THANK YOU for reading, commenting, voting, and sticking with me. This story exists in the way it does because of you.
I meant it when I said I planned to post Book 2 chapters here this year. But as I’ve gotten closer to publishing my debut, I’ve had to rethink the best way to handle the rest of the series so I can give these books the future they deserve.
Because Book 2 is part of my official publishing plans, I won’t be serializing the full book on Wattpad the way I originally thought I might.
But I’m also not leaving you behind.
This story started here, and so many of you have supported it from the beginning. Because of that, I still plan to share the first early-draft chapter of Book 2 here as a thank you and a sneak peek at what’s coming next.
The rest of Book 2 will be available once it’s finished and officially released, but I wanted Wattpad readers to be the first to get a taste of where this world is going.
Truly, thank you for caring about these characters the way I do. I’m making this change so the series can grow, and I’d love for you to be part of the early-reader circle as I take the next step.
With love,
Lauren
Thank you so much for responding to my form! It looks like there may have been a technical glitch with the link on my end, and Google recorded your edit, but didn't save your final text answers. Could you please take 60 seconds to click the updated link, https://laurenmhayes.com/arc, and re-submit? I apologize for the inconvenience!
Hello,can you please check out my new book. It's a rollercoaster of love and heartbreak

Hello everyone!
Thought I’d post an update since it’s been a while. Book 2 is still simmering in my brain. As far as progress is concerned, it exists as an outline for now.
I’ve had to press pause on it because I’ve been writing script after script after…
This year alone, I’ve completed basically two feature-length scripts (one a social media adventure and another a black romance) meant for the micro-drama space. They are currently being considered for development.
My next project will be finishing turning “Secrets We Keep” into a micro drama script. Then I’ll be working on a horror micro drama script. It’s been insane but fun!
ETA on book 2 you ask? Rest assured, it will be this year. Thank you for your patience!
Actually when I’m done with the micro drama version of “The Secrets We Keep,” I’ll be turning book 2 of the series into a micro drama script as well, then turning it into a book. I know. Insane.
Anyways that’s my update for now. When I have any more exciting news to share, I’ll post it here and on my blog https://laurenmhayes.com.
Thank you to ALL my followers. You truly do encourage me to keep going.
Lauren
Gentle Reader, How about giving my first creation a moment to read. I will be happy and grateful for your feedback and suggestions. Thank you https://www.wattpad.com/story/377116417?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=rose2q4e
Heya Lauren,
Happy Sunday!
Just thought I'd pop by and say thank you for your words of encouragement. I posted my book and it's doing well.
I would also like to share the song with you that accompanies the book. Would love your thoughts. No pressure though xx

Sending good vibes and gratitude ☺️
@laurenmhayes that's exactly what I asked for .... Hubby, son and our best friend delivered on the 80's power ballad vibe. Thank you so much for listening! Right back ya! ☺️
Hi there! It’s late here on the east coast. I couldn’t listen to the whole thing but I got the gist. I appreciate what the singer was doing there. It’s giving 80s power ballad vibes, which I love. And the singer certainly committed. Good job tying music into your art. Happy writing!
Patiently waiting for book 2
Also have you finished the vampire book you or your husband was working on? I would love to read it
@Caressab I’m currently in the process of getting it ready for potential publishers. Thank you so much for your support and patience!
