Royal, Texas – Present Day

Six weeks ago, Tiffany Winters and Preston Del Rio had a passionate night together while celebrating during the engagement party of their siblings. She has now discovered that she is pregnant, and she is sure her family won’t be happy about it, especially since the goodwill between the once rival families has evaporated after a mysterious necklace that belonged to the Del Rio family ended up in the hands of the Winters family. However, it doesn’t take long for Tiffany’s pregnancy secret to be spilled, first to her sister, and then to her mother. Now she must tell the daddy-to-be.

Preston is shocked to learn about the pregnancy, but he promises to be there for her and the baby. Since they were teenagers, he has carried a semi-crush on Tiffany, so caring for her is not hard to do. However, with things being frigid between the families and with Preston working to gain his father’s support to be his replacement as head of the family’s company, he doesn’t want to jeopardize all the hard work he’s put in. But there continues to be this fissure of passion between him and Tiffany, so it’s not long before they hit the sheets again. Can they make their alliance work, or will their families come between them?

Tiffany is hoping to keep her pregnancy a secret until after her brother marries Maggie Del Rio and the Winters/Del Rio families can hopefully put their feud aside. But little secrets soon come out and in KEEPING A LITTLE SECRET, it soon becomes a big one. Preston and Tiffany have known each other their whole lives and his crush on her even had him taking a class with her just to be near her. Because of the family feud, they don’t encounter each other too often, but the engagement party was one time they did…and it set off an explosive attraction between them. Of course, making a baby wasn’t in the plan but it happens. Now they must figure out how to go from there. 

With the families still negotiating over how the necklace was found (See UNDER THE SAME ROOF for more about this) and how to resolve it, neither Tiffany nor Preston want to rock the boat by announcing a pregnancy. They manage to spend some time together and it proves that the first time won’t be the last. There is an intense attraction between them. The only question in KEEPING A LITTLE SECRET is how they can make it work between them. Despite the family feud, Tiffany and Preston are falling in love with each other. Can they find happiness and a life together? Find out the answer by grabbing a copy of KEEPING A LITTLE SECRET.
