Secretly Yours: A Novel

Beskrivelse

A steamy small-town romantic comedy from Tessa Bailey, bestselling author and TikTok sensation, featuring a grumpy professor and his lively neighbor who can’t seem to get along. Hallie Welch has been smitten with Julian Vos since their teenage years, and now that he’s back in Napa Valley, sparks fly once again.

A charming clash of personalities set against the picturesque backdrop of a vineyard estate.

Hallie Welch first fell for Julian Vos at fourteen, after their near-kiss beneath the dark skies of his family’s winery. Now, years later, Julian has returned to Napa Valley, and Hallie gets hired to redesign the gardens on the Vos estate. She hopes this might be her chance to finally share that long-awaited kiss.

But Julian isn’t the same teenager she once knew. As a serious professor on sabbatical from his Ivy League position, he’s more rigid and reserved, and their very different personalities lead to plenty of fiery clashes.

After a wine-fueled girls’ night, Hallie realizes she may have done something impulsive-she left a secret admirer letter for Julian, written in a drunken haze. Meanwhile, Julian is trying to write a novel but finds it impossible to concentrate with Hallie’s chaotic, colorful presence just outside his window.

She’s eccentric, often late, and frequently covered in dirt, yet utterly captivating. When Julian discovers the anonymous letter from a woman in his past, he can’t help but be drawn deeper into Hallie’s world.

Like the vibrant flowers she plants throughout town, Hallie brings unexpected color to Julian’s otherwise orderly life. For a man who irons his socks and runs on a strict schedule, her sunny energy is a delightful mystery-and her presence is turning everything upside down.
