Concealed Passion

by Lisa Horvath

Maya has lost her sense of self. An underappreciated stay-at-home mom in an unhappy marriage, she embarks on a week-long solo vacation with the hope of finding herself again. But as she arrives in sultry North Florida, she thinks all that awaits her is umbrella drinks, warm sand, and a new perspective. Maya has no idea her entire life is about to change. Maya just wants to feel young and sexy again. As she enjoys a drink at a tiki bar on her first night, she is lost in her thoughts-until a dashing man introduces himself. After Rafael and Maya share an intimate dance, they part for the night. Maya thinks it is nothing but an innocent attraction- until two goons show up at her door a few minutes later and reveal they are holding her sister hostage. Suddenly, Maya is caught not only in a dangerous web of deception, but also a passionate affair with Rafael-who is actually a CIA agent in the midst of a complicated case. In this sexy, romantic tale, a woman lost in the demands of motherhood and a lifeless marriage sets out to find happiness and discovers her true self in the process.

Fast paced, fun and sexy! This book is fun and thoughtful. I could definitely relate to Maya and only wish I could meet someone as hot as Raphael. Maya makes the choices I wish I had the guts for. My only complaint is that I can't wait to find out what happens next!!!

If you like romance, suspense and excitement that you can't stop reading, then this is the book for you. Hot steamy sex along with lust and infatuation with a intriguing story line that leaves you yearning for more. Maya and Raphael both hold your interest until the end. Excellent reading.

I don't normally read romance novels, but I could't put this one down. I was hooked from the beginning!
