Release Date: May 26, 2020
Those that truly know August Greenfield, will tell you that I live my life to the fullest. Work hard as part of the team at Jameson Force Security but play just as hard at The Wicked Horse Vegas. I have no regrets about my life.
Well, maybe just one.
Leighton Hale was my first love and the woman I wanted to spend my life with, but one day she was just gone. Vanished without a trace. Even my extensive contacts as part of the team at Jameson left me empty-handed in my search for answers. My single remorse is never being able to find out what happened to her, because no matter how difficult the truth may be, it can’t be as bad as never knowing at all.
Ten years later, a knock on my front door brings me face-to-face with the woman I thought I’d never see again and nothing in my life could have prepared me for the secrets she holds.

What I thought about Wicked Secret
August Greenfield is living the life -- he's got a great job and goes to the Wicked Horse Las Vegas whenever he wants. He's not looking for a relationship, especially after his childhood sweetheart disappeared without a trace years ago.
When his teenage love shows up at his doorstep asking for help, He's got all sorts of emotions to work through. He's angry with Leighton for disappearing on him, and he's worried that she's really in trouble and needs his protection. And then she blows his mind with one more secret from the past that has him reeling. Let's just say that August has a lot of time to make up for and lots to resolve in his own mind.
I did find the first part of this book a bit depressing and predictable. It takes some time for August to learn to trust and forgive Leighton, which was reasonable to expect, but it did take the escapism out of this story and replaced it with a big old pile of realism. I was happy to see the book take an upturn in the middle. The Wicked Horse does get some page time later in the book as August and Leighton work on their relationship.
Overall, the erotic romance part of this book helped to balance out the not-so-fun parts, but this was not my favorite in the series. There are some hot scenes at the Wicked Horse that helped to keep things interesting in the face of some of the almost-dire situations they had to deal with.
An ARC was provided. This is my honest review.

I've heard from some friends this one is scorching hot. I think I have the first book of this series and I do enjoy this author. I just need more time. Sigh.
