Publisher Description
From USA Today bestselling author Claudia Burgoa comes an angsty, fake-fiance, opposites attract, secret billionaire romance.
What do you do when you’re tired of being the loser?
You make up the perfect fiancé, of course.
I know it sounds desperate, but hear me out.
In my family, everyone is someone.
But me? I’m just a small-town librarian with no prospects and no future.
At every family reunion, my older sister reminds me of that fact.
So when she announced her own upcoming nuptials, I knew I had to act fast. I needed a fake fiancé to bring to the wedding and prove that I was happy and successful too.
Enter River Kershaw, the town playboy.
My bestie Wren suggested him, and I was hesitant at first.
He's the complete opposite of me: a charming extrovert.
But I can't deny that he's tall, strong, and hot.
I know it's a risk, but I'm determined to show my family that I'm just as happy and in love as they are. Even if that means pretending to be with someone who's totally not my type.
I'm ready to give the performance of a lifetime.
Dirty Secret Love is the second book in the Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaire Series—an emotional rollercoaster of a journey that combines the intense drama of Succession and the hilarity of Schitt's Creek. A must-read.

Absolutely Amazing, Emotional and Addictive Read
This is book two in The Heartwood Lake Secret Billionaires series and it is Sutton and River’s story and omg this is definitely a must read. Sutton lived in Heartwood Lake which she loved as her best friends Jez, Wren and Regina also lived there and they were more like sisters and also Sutton worked as a librarian which kept her away from her toxic and judgmental family who constantly put her down no matter what she does it is never good enough for them and they treat her like the black sheep of the family because she lives her own life and after her parents made big money on a patent that they designed they thought that they were better than anyone so after Sutton was put down again and again she invented a story that she was engaged to a man with plenty of money but now it has backfired because her parents are returning to Heartwood Lake causing chaos and panic in Sutton’s life and now she needs to find someone who will be her fake fiancé and she knows just the right man to ask but things don’t always go as planned. River was living in Washington DC and helped to manage Thorndale Industries which left n room to date not that he wanted to be in a relationship because he was a one and done kind of man but when his father is killed he needed to go to live in Heartwood Lake where he is a farm worker and waiter at the bar but living with his extended family most of which he can’t stand as they are all putting on a front which is driving him mad as all he wants is his life back but when Sutton asks him to be fake engaged to her he says no until her obnoxious and self centred mother walks into the library and completely runs Sutton through the mill and River finds himself agreeing to be her fake fiancé to help her out. The attraction and chemistry between Sutton and River is so hot and strong but neither want a relationship so when they are unable to deny that chemistry they end up in a fake engagement with benefits along with some ground rules so that things don’t become any more complicated than they are and they agree to a back story to convince everyone especially her horrible family. When Sutton and River start to develop feelings for each other there connection becomes so strong but something happens that puts everything that Sutton and River has built in jeopardy but will they be able to sort the situation out before it is too late and they both miss out on the happiness and future that they both want and deserve. Wow the things that Sutton and River has gone through in their lives had you feeling so many emotions and my heart broke with how Sutton’s mother treated her but in all of this drama you could tell that River was a carin, loving and protective person with such a very dirty mouth that had you turning the pages while enjoy Sutton and River together and yes they both had their secrets which will be revealed but you could feel how strong their love for each other was as it seeped off the pages. This story pulled me in right from the beginning and kept my attention throughout the whole book as it was so addictive and I can’t wait to read the next book in this amazing series.
