Jessica and Troy's exciting story continues in the second book of the HIDDEN SECRETS TRILOGY as passion and danger collide... Despite Jess's initial reluctance to get involved with ex-Marine Troy Carson, her friendship with him is growing to be something more. But love cannot exist without trust, and trust is something she can't afford-not when she needs to cling to the secrets of her past. Not when she's hoping to be part of her daughter's life again. Too much is at stake if the truth gets out. As Jess tries to put the pieces of her life back together after being wrongfully imprisoned for the death of her abusive husband, she recognizes her past life in a new friend. Refusing to let history repeat itself, Jess is determined to get her friend away from the man who is abusing her. But in doing so, Jess's past is at risk of being revealed, costing her everything she holds dear: Troy. Her daughter. Her life... The dual timeline book is the second novel in Hidden Secrets Trilogy. The books in the trilogy have to be read in order. All other books in the Carson Brother series are standalone.
