Ordinary Secrets
Secrets Trilogy Book #1
Melissa Lam
His mission was simple . . . until he fell for her.
Trey
I watched my parents die in an explosion—and it was no accident. Now I’m determined to bring down the people responsible.
My mission is simple: get close to a woman named Arella and uncover the secret behind her immunity to my powers. If I can replicate it, I’ll finally gain the upper hand against the people who shattered my life.
But here’s the catch: Arella has no idea she’s immune—or that people with powers even exist.
As I get closer to her, I discover that her life is in danger. Now I face a heart-wrenching decision: complete my mission or protect the woman I never meant to fall for.
Arella
After escaping an abusive relationship, the last thing I need is to get tangled up with some bad boy musician with a dark and troubled past.
But no matter how much I resist, Trey’s playful charm and protective nature gradually tear down my walls. I want to give him a chance, but he’s keeping secrets from me.
How does he know things he shouldn’t? How do his wounds heal so unnaturally fast? And most importantly, why is he asking—no, begging—me to run away with him?

Content Warnings:
The Secrets Trilogy is not:
❌ a cozy story that leaves you feeling safe and wholesome
❌ plotless smut
❌ a dense high fantasy with maps, glossaries, and complex world-building
If that’s what you’re in the mood for, this ain’t it.
But if you’re craving:
✅ an emotional roller coaster that will make you laugh, cry, swoon, lose sleep, and possibly yeet this book across the room
✅ a mash-up of my favorite tropes (slow burn, forbidden love, forced proximity, a protective hero, and some lady-nabbing)
✅ messy characters who face real-life trauma
✅ a foul-mouthed biker in a leather jacket who battles with his bad decisions
✅ an intense plot laced with open-door spice (for readers 18+)
✅ a contemporary romance sprinkled with fantasy and pronounceable words
Then buckle up for this chaos and visit my 🔗!
