She never expected her secret would be exposed.
Then he walked into town.

Seven years ago, Scarlett Evans let her college professor walk away without telling him she was pregnant. Now the man she never expected to see again has shown up on Brookwell Island.

Worse? He's noticed that her six-year-old daughter looks exactly like him.

Cooper Moss came back to South Carolina chasing fond memories, never expecting to find his old flame—or discover he's a father. He's all-in for family life and eager to make up for lost time. But Scarlett has built her own life in Brookwell and she won’t allow anyone—not even the one who got away—disrupt her daughter’s stability.

As Cooper strives to convince Scarlett he’s here for a tenure-track role as her romantic partner, she’ll have to choose between old fears and the future she’d written off.


If you like small-town romance packed with big secrets, age-gap chemistry, and a happy ever after to cheer for, you’ll love Scarlett’s Secret Chapter.
