A love triangle pits a sweet Brit against a sneaky American, but the man they both want has a surprising secret.

Everyone thinks they know me, but they're wrong. I have a secret. My friends and family think I earn a living writing technical manuals, but the truth couldn't be more different. I, Owen Metzger, love writing steamy romance novels. Shh, don't tell anybody. My parents would be horrified, and my buddies would razz me endlessly.

When a friend convinces me to take a vacation in the UK, I jump at the chance to escape my life.

My first day there, I meet Poppy Goodburn. She's sweet and smart and damn sexy. We have chemistry so hot it could melt Antarctica. But Poppy owns a bookshop that stocks my novels. Will she figure out I am Desiree Lachance? I can't take that risk, so I'll hide the truth from her—at least until we get to know each other better.

But now my ex-wife has followed me here, claiming to want me back. Can I trust her new attitude? Only one way to find out. We're all going to Scotland for a wild shindig, which gives me five days to sort out my feelings for two women. No problem.

Jeez, I'm so screwed.

A Novel Secret is the third crossover book uniting three bestselling worlds—Hot Brits, Hot Scots, and Au Naturel.
