Chasing Secrets

Clear Creek, Colorado

by Mia Jones

Isabel (Bella) Stanford finally found the courage to leave a family she’d never felt a part of and make her own roots and family in a quiet place of her choosing. She found the town and family she’d been looking for with two friends she’d met and connected with right away. When she met Simon, she thought he might be a man she’d enjoy having in her life until one circumstance after another kept them apart and a secret brought them together again.

Simon Hawthorn had been through hell and back and never wanted to relive the experience again. He had worked hard to get back what he’d lost and then one look at Bella, and his life changed, and he’d become obsessed with her from the start. Even though what he felt for Bella was so much stronger than anything he’d ever felt before, fear kept him from giving into his feelings for her. But fear wasn’t enough to keep him away for good

About the author

Author Bio ~ Mia Jones was born and raised in Iowa and still resides there with her husband and children. She’s an author of contemporary romance novels and devotes hours to creating steamy novels with happy endings that she hopes entertain people, make them laugh and sometimes cry, but always ends the book feeling good.
Mia started writing when she was thirteen. She found writing was a way to comfort herself during her rough teenage years, and she never stopped. It was only when her mother and sister pushed her did she finally send in a novel, and to her surprise, people enjoyed it and asked for more.
You can usually find her at her home in the country surrounded by her family and many animals and the majority of the time in her quiet little office, conjuring up whole new interesting families and communities.
Some of Mia’s favorite things are spending time with her family, her dogs, riding horses, gardening, cooking, hiking and, of course, writing and reading romance novels.

Another great read from Mia Jones!!! I LOVED reading about Bella and Simon!!! This book had all the ingredients for a great story!!! Mia Jones did a great job of mixing it all together!!!

I enjoyed reading along as Bella and Simon navigated the road from their own rocky pasts and started on the journey to their own happily ever after. Once I got the end of the book, I wanted more!!! I was not ready for this story to end!!! I am so looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Mia Jones is definitely an author to keep your eyes on. She is talented and has a way with words. She makes you fall in love with her characters and also feel like they are truly your girlfriends. The ones who you go out with on Saturday night to cut loose with. I am really looking forward to continuing this series and finding out what comes next for this colorful cast of characters. This was an excellent read and a very easy 5 Stars from me!!!

This was my first book by Mila Jones and I loved it can't wait to read the next book. This one is about Bella a women leaving her rich family behind. She just picked a town and moved. Bella met Elsbeth the owner of the motel she moved into until she could find a job. Bella found a job at the Double D where Charlie the owner had a room over the bar. Rainy and Elsbeth become Bella's new family. Bella meets Simon who had been married and she had taken him to the cleaners so he's very fun shy. But, Simon takes one look at Bella and it was love and the same for Bella. There's several storylines going on at the same time but you don't get lost. Mia Jones has the touch for romance. You will laugh and even cry. Now, on to the next book.
