This Secret Between Us

This Secret Between Us

by

Harper Rae James

April-
When a man emotionally wrecks your best friend, you don’t forget it.
When he follows that up by ruining the best night of her life, you don’t forgive it.
So when Cash Easton shows up, smirking, smug, and somehow still devastatingly hot, I know exactly who he is.
Or I thought I did.
Every instinct I have is screaming no…
My heart, that's a different story.

Cash-
She arrived like a storm at my door, eyes blazing with fire, heart heavy with pain I couldn’t turn away from.
A week in Jamaica, pretending we’re more than strangers.
One bed between us, no space to hide.
She doesn’t know me. She sees only the man who broke her best friend’s heart.
But standing near her feels like the only truth I want to know.

Before you begin, I want to offer a gentle heads-up about some of the themes explored in this story. This book contains emotional and intimate content that may be difficult for some readers, including:

Infertility and the emotional impact surrounding it

Characters grappling with inexperience and vulnerability around intimacy

Public play (sexual content in semi-public settings)

A scene where a sex dream transitions into real sexual activity while both characters are in a sleep-heavy or semi-conscious state

These elements are handled with care, but I recognize they may not be for everyone. Please take care of yourself and read at your own comfort level.

About the Author

Harper Rae James

I write spicy, emotion-forward romance for readers who crave longing, second chances, and love that refuses to stay buried.


My stories live in the quiet space between almost and always, where feelings simmer, restraint fractures, and intimacy is earned. Expect mutual pining, he-falls-first energy, and heat that hits harder because it means something.


If you love slow burns with real payoff, characters who ache before they heal, and stories that linger long after the last page, you're in the right place.
