About this ebook

From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes an angsty, fake-fiance, opposites attract, secret billionaire romance.

What do you do when you’re tired of being the loser?

You make up the perfect fiancé, of course.

I know it sounds desperate, but hear me out.

In my family, everyone is someone.

But me? I’m just a small-town librarian with no prospects and no future.

At every family reunion, my older sister reminds me of that fact.

So when she announced her own upcoming nuptials, I knew I had to act fast. I needed a fake fiancé to bring to the wedding and prove that I was happy and successful too.

Enter River Kershaw, the town playboy.

My bestie Wren suggested him, and I was hesitant at first.

He's the complete opposite of me: a charming extrovert.

But I can't deny that he's tall, strong, and hot.

I know it's a risk, but I'm determined to show my family that I'm just as happy and in love as they are. Even if that means pretending to be with someone who's totally not my type.

I'm ready to give the performance of a lifetime.

Dirty Secret Love is the second book in the Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaire Series—an emotional rollerc

This is the second book in the series. The "Kershaw" siblings have me more intrigued. They are a complicated family, but in this one we see that they truly do care about one another. When River agrees to Sutton's fake engagement scheme an even more tangled web is weaved. I loved the banter between River and Sutton. Plus they have the chemistry that burns up the pages. All the pretending starts to feel all too real. The threat for River's family still looms and we get to know a tad bit more.

River and Sutton are not all what I was expecting! Their relationship was super hot but also really sweet. River is the swooniest, he’s all in and all about Sutton. Sutton is amazing, I loved her so much. The Kershaws are definitely a mystery and this town is an enigma. I’m so ready to see what happens next.
