Keep You Like a Secret
(2025)(The second book in the Take Me Back to the Start series)
A novel by Jeannie Choe
At thirty-nine, Grace Han is ready to swear off dating forever—until one tequila-fueled night with her best friend’s younger brother turns everything upside down.
Andrew Cohen is smart, sweet, ten years younger… and completely off-limits. But their undeniable chemistry can’t be ignored, especially when casual hangouts and ramen-fueled movie nights start to feel like something real.
They agree to keep things secret. No family drama. No pressure. Just comfort, laughter, and slow-burning attraction—until reality crashes in. A sudden blowup at Andrew’s job and old wounds Grace thought she'd buried resurface, threatening to unravel everything they’ve built.
Now, Andrew wants something more—something public, permanent, real. But Grace isn’t sure she can trust herself to love again. Can she finally let go of the past and fight for a future worth the risk?
Funny, heartwarming, and achingly honest, Keep You Like A Secret is a slow-burn romance about second chances, emotional growth, and falling for the one person you never saw coming.
Perfect for fans of:
