For readers of Shannon Stacey and Susan Mallery, the heartfelt new Briarwood series begins with a tale of forbidden love, broken promises, and second chances.

Growing up in Eastbridge, Connecticut, Carolyn Rivington was a young debutante who did whatever her parents asked. So when her father demanded that she break things off with the boy from the wrong side of the tracks or else, she did. Now Carolyn’s family is deep in debt. She’s no longer a member of the Briarwood Golf and Yacht Club, she’s an employee. And the tanned, tattooed, dangerously handsome stranger who saunters into her lobby isn’t just her new boss . . . he’s also her first love.

The last time he saw Carolyn, Jake Gaffney was in the back of a police cruiser, handcuffed and humiliated. But seeing her again stirs other memories: a blanket on the beach, the moon above their heads, and the most expensive bottle of wine he could afford. Now the tables have turned. As a real-estate magnate and Briarwood’s new owner, Jake doesn’t have to answer to anyone. But now that he’s back home, he’s finding it hard to live down his old reputation.

Before they can move forward, Jake and Carolyn must face their pasts. But it’ll take more than sizzling chemistry for them to heal old wounds and return to the love they once shared.

My secret place isn't so secret - it's my bed! hahaha I love going in there when I
just need to getaway!
(Lily Shah 12:48pm July 15, 2015)

My place to relax is not a secret, but my fav chair at my fav window...
(Colleen Conklin 12:59pm July 15, 2015)

Where I read is on the couch watching tv I can do both
really well and not miss anything
(Jeri Dickinson 5:28pm July 15, 2015)

I don't have a secret place.
(Jen Barnard 6:40pm July 15, 2015)

I live alone so don't need a secret place
(Suzy Manning 7:24pm July 15, 2015)

I don't have a secret place, I have a nice quiet house so I
don't need one. If I do not want to be bother by the phone
or my husband I just go stretch out on my bed with a book.
(Sharon Sommer 7:29pm July 15, 2015)

It is a rose garden maze in my mind. I imagine to stroll
though the path, forget the world and come back feeling
better than ever.
(Sabine Blanch 1:26pm July 16, 2015)

I like to read on the beach
(Jeri Dickinson 3:26pm July 16, 2015)

i don't really have a secret place, just a favorite one!
the couch in my living room, with a bottle of water and my
favorite afghan.
(Sandy Haber 9:15pm July 16, 2015)

I don't really have a secret place, but when I need "me time" I find a nice spot and break out the craft projects. Jewelry, needlework, or stained glass, my family knows not to bother me when they see me at work.
(Cynthia Powers 10:48pm July 16, 2015)

I don't have a secret place but I like to stay up late and dream or sometimes get up really early and dream and read.
(cHARLETTE bOND 1:19pm July 17, 2015)

I don't have a secret space.
(Lori Raines 7:58am July 18, 2015)

I've never had a secret hiding place, not even when my children were young.
(Anna Speed 1:21pm July 18, 2015)

I have a small enclosed back patio that houses many houseplants. I can lose myself when I'm fussing with my plants and with the windows open, I can smell fresh cut grass and feel the fresh breezes. I tried reading there, but find my mind wandering instead. Not secret, just private.
(Rosemary Simm 4:48pm July 18, 2015)

My secret place is actually sitting on my front steps looking out across the golf course and up at the mountains. It's so peaceful and it gives time to reflect and relax.
(Sandie White 6:32pm July 18, 2015)

I wish i did!
(Denise Austin 7:41pm July 18, 2015)

OUT IN THE WOODS
(Debbi Shaw 9:49pm July 18, 2015)

I don't have one,
(Susan Mahaffey 10:13pm July 18, 2015)
