A Secret Between Friends

By Christine Rimmer

On Sale: 3/31/2026
Their love was put to the test. And it’s positive! 

Riley Thompson was happy being Josh Bravo’s secret lover. But now she’s pregnant! And that’s how Josh’s ex pressured him into marriage. Plus, after tragically losing the love of her life, Riley isn’t looking for love or wedding bells. Still, she’ll happily co-parent with her best friend. Now all she has to do is find a way to tell him. 

The best thing that came out of Josh Bravo’s marriage is his son—and his divorce. Riley has been there as a listener and a lover. But when she reveals they’re expecting, Josh bristles. It’s not the baby that rattles him—it’s the realization he has feelings for his best friend. Now all he has to do is find a way to tell her.
