Secretly Yours

De: Stephanie Rose

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Stella Hunter

Could you really call someone the “one who got away” if she was never yours to begin with?

In high school, Sabrina and I were “extra friends,” a nicer way of saying friends who’d hook up with each other in between relationships with no strings attached.

Too bad I ruined our arrangement by catching real feelings—feelings that terrified me enough to cut off a good friend because I was too scared I’d slip and admit I loved her.

Years later we’re reunited at our twentieth high school reunion, both fresh from brutal divorces. Determined to keep the reignited connection, we fall into an easy friendship, this time without the “extra.” Surely, at almost forty I can keep my feelings to myself. Right?

Spoiler alert: I can’t.

Especially when I volunteer to be her date at her niece’s wedding to keep her family off her back and up the ante by offering to be her fake boyfriend too.

Touching comes too easy, along with heated kisses that were supposed to only be for show. Playing pretend turns into the best night of my life, and the worst one at the same time.

Because, just like in the past, I don’t know how to be just her friend when I’ve always been secretly hers.

Secretly Yours is a 27,000 word standalone novella. It's a companion to the novel Second Times the Charm but can be enjoyed on its own.

Short and Sweet~2nd chance~(not) Fake Dating

Loved this short & sweet listen with 2 of my fav tropes by 2 of my favorite actors/narrators -- Stella Hunter and Connor Crais. They were great & their voices are truly a pleasure to listen to. Wouldn't have minded a longer story -- the time went by too fast!

Great Second Chance story!

If you love heartfelt contemporary romance with depth, warmth, and characters who stay with you long after the last page, Secretly Yours is an absolute must‑read. I adored every second of it.
The narrators are absolutely superb, bringing the story to live in the most amazing way.
