The Secret

Bella has just spent years under the watchful eye of John Lawless; in fact, her grandfather, Roman, hired him to protect her. Bella’s grandfather has recently passed away and he left a will. She has been summoned to her grandfather’s attorney’s office. What could this visit bring? What could the will hold that Bella did not already know about? Why is John coming with her?

John is an ex-navy pilot that was hired to protect a spoiled brat, Bella Fleur Contatore. Bella finally turned twenty-one and he was relieved of his duty after four years. Roman, his former employer, has died and John has been summoned by his attorney. What could he want with John? Why is it so important that he come with Bella?

Roman has left Bella millions provided she fulfills one requirement for her grandfather. Bella must marry John for a minimum of six months. If she does not marry, she will lose her whole inheritance. Can Bella afford to lose everything? Will John marry her?

P.J. Womack has created a well thought out plot that evolves into a funny and rewarding story. It offers unique characters that readers will grow to love. John’s dedication to protecting Bella and making sure she has everything that she needs is endearing. Bella, with her stubborn and carefree tendencies, is feisty and opinionated. With each turn of the page, readers will be drawn into watching what has developed between John and Bella. Will John show Bella that there are things money can not buy? Will Bella open John’s world to something other than the safe one he has spent four years building for her? Can a marriage arranged by her grandfather survive the two of them?

This book is a real treat. The tension and passion that P.J. Womack builds around John and Bella left me rooting for them to figure it out before it was too late. Readers will thoroughly enjoy spending an evening engrossed within The Secret. 4 Angels!
