The Secret Admirer
(2026)(The second book in the Love in Santa Puerta series)
A Story by Olivia Sands
He fights for a living. She reads for a living. A secret letter is about to bring them together.
Carmen Hamada is Santa Puerta’s quietest librarian. Shy, bookish, and forever single, she spends her days recommending romances rather than living them. That is, until a brown envelope arrives in her mailbox: a passionate, anonymous love letter that sees the real her. Convinced the letter is from her longtime crush, Xander Horn, it seems like her own fairytale is finally beginning.
Xander Horn is a boxer with fists of stone and a guarded heart. He’s spent years watching Carmen from afar, knowing she’s off-limits as his best friend’s little sister. But when Carmen looks at him with newfound hope, believing he’s the author of the romantic notes, Xander hesitates to break the spell.
He didn’t write the letters. But as he falls deeper for the woman who believes he did, Xander must find the courage to win her heart with his own words before the truth knocks him out for good.
