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

I have been waiting for this book as I am intruiged by the Kershaw's and wanted to know more about them. Claudia delivered everything I expected and more. I lost myself in the read from the first page and finished it in a single sitting. Just like every book by Claudia this was an emotional whirlwind and tugged at my heart strings. River and Sutton could not be more different yet they complete each other. I loved getting to know them as they got to know each other especially River and his bond with his siblings. Getting to know there past broke my heart and I was rooting for them to get together. There chemistry was smoking hot. I loved the secondary characters except for Sutton's parents and wished we got more of River's siblings. Its amazing how they are ready to do everything for each other despite all the disconnect. It's a flawless read and finished too soon for my liking. Now I cannot wait for the next Kershaw to find happiness and unravel more of there secrets.

If you're gonna have a fake fiance with benefits, River Kershaw is the way to go. He's totally swoon-worthy from the start, and he just gets better with each chapter. He's also really good for Sutton, who needs someone in her corner. I guess that's not entirely fair; she has a loyal friend group, but River brings something else to the table - something besides the obvious! These two do have some seriously good chemistry, and they're both lovable and easy to root for.
