Secretly Daring: A Spicy Billionaire Sports Romance
Our contract said no names, no emotions, no complications. We broke every rule.
How did a sensible, serious Iowa girl like me end up in a situation like this? I can explain.
I know it seems crazy. I never expected to find myself the paid escort of a superstar athlete with a sexy accent and wickedly talented hands. But now I’m in New York City, swept into a world of bright lights, limousines and paparazzi.
Our arrangement is supposed to be strictly business. Luciano doesn’t do relationships. Doesn’t believe in happily ever after. His past is darker than the tabloids know.
And the spotlight could expose our deepest secrets.
I know this can’t last…but every time he touches me, I forget all the reasons I’m supposed to walk away. He makes me feel seen. Wanted. Cherished.
I can’t deny it anymore. I’m falling for him.
Even though falling in love might cost us everything.
Elise and Luciano’s love story begins in Book 1, Secretly His. This is Book 2 of the Duet and ends with a guaranteed HEA.
This book contains mature content and is intended for readers 18+. A Content Warning page is included at the front of the book.

So sweet and so spicy
Secretly Daring picks up right where Secretly His leaves off and somehow makes Luciano and Elise even easier to root for.
It still has those Pretty Woman vibes, but this one leans more into an unorthodox fairytale romance and I loved that shift for them. Their chemistry is still insanely good, but what really sold me was how well they handled the obstacles thrown their way - no unnecessary drama, just two people choosing each other with so much care and grace.
Sweet, spicy, romantic, and ridiculously easy to binge. I ate this duet up.
