about the book

He never meant to be a father.

But it could be the life he’s always wanted.

In Hope Crossing, Texas, nurse practitioner Kirsten Reynolds has found her dream job. The only problem is that the tiny town also has Deputy Brady James… the father of her four-year-old sons. And he doesn’t know the boys are his. But as he steps into this new role he never planned for, Brady gets a hopeful glimpse into a life with children. Will he let the fear of the unknown keep him from a future he never imagined… or will an adorable pair of twins—and their mother—change his mind?

review

take a trip to hope crossing, texas in hidden secrets between them!

kirsten has just moved to town with her twin four-year-old boys—and a big secret she can't keep anymore. the boys' father also happens to live in hope crossing, and it's only a matter of time until he figures out the truth. when brady learns that he's a father, his world turns upside down in more ways than one—because he must also confront a secret he's kept since he and kirsten were together...

both kirsten and brady thought they were doing the right thing by keeping their secrets when they broke up years ago, but now, they're learning that trying to control their circumstances might not be the best choice. with plenty of small-town charm, adorable children, and faithful conviction, they get a second chance at love and family.

hidden secrets between them is a sweet, sweet story. it deals with a couple tough situations—but with a great reminder that God can be trusted amidst it all. it's a quick read, sure to warm the hearts of inspirational contemporary-romance readers.

i received a complimentary copy from the publisher. i was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions i have expressed are my own.

considerations:
—language: none
—spice: kisses only, no physical details of past relationship
—faith: strong themes with mentions of God, church, and prayer
—content: loss of family member, mentions of cancer and military death, huntington's disease, children born out of wedlock
