Once Upon A Small Town Secret
(2025)(A book in the Once Upon A Time...To Happily Ever After series)
A novel by Claire Kirby
I want him. He’s off-limits. And our families’ decades-old betrayal is about to make everything so much worse.
I’m Paige Richards—Vanderbilt graduate with bakery dreams—and the girl who’s been fantasizing about Ben Hoffman’s hands for the last eight years.
I’m smart. Determined. And done waiting.
Ben thinks I’m still Jason’s annoying little sister.
He’s wrong.
When I suggest a potential business collaboration—my pastries, his beer—it becomes foreplay.
Blue eyes that undress me.
Rough hands that know their way around more than beer taps.
Finally…one night after a successful event, Ben’s control snaps and he takes me apart, one breathless gasp at a time, making my skin shiver with desire as I murmur filthy words in his ear.
Then the town whispers begin.
The secret recipe that built Ben’s business?
It was stolen from my grandfather.
The discovery creates a rift between us that threatens to destroy our new beginning.
But six weeks after our perfect night together, two pink lines appear—and the entire town will be watching to see if we’ll choose love or loyalty.
Because in small towns, some secrets destroy everything—and some create miracles.
Genre: Romance
