✦ Synopsis


"A romcom set in BOSTON in the 80s?? Yes please!" NYT bestselling author Erin Nicholas

The bigger the secret, the harder it is to hide.

Single mom Isabella York was a celebrity before she had her first kiss, her first date, or her first sip of alcohol. Playing the bad girlβ€”both on and off the setβ€”made up for lost time, but the consequences were life-changing. Back home in Boston, with her "checkered past" behind her, all she wants is to raise her little girl far from the spotlight. After all, revealing her secrets could mean losing everything.

For her, and her daughter.

It's not that Henry Smith hates kidsβ€”they don't like him. Meanwhile, he's stuck producing children's TV, so he's doing the best he can to be less of a grouch. Not everyone gets a second chance to chase his dream, and if he plays his cards right at this new gig, he can move on to making television that will change the world, not just entertain a bunch of brats.

Even better, he just might be able to talk the woman he never thought he'd see again into greenlighting a do-over.

In this sexy, heartwarming, Secret Baby, 80's throwback romcom, a Sunshine-Grumpy pair has to face the past before they can find their future... together.

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "One of the most delightful books I've read all year...As secret baby books go, this is one of my favorites... Grey's writing is whip-smart with wonderful dialogue (especially the voices in Bella's head), interesting developments, and steamy sexy times." Once Upon a Page Blog

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "If you are a fan of a nostalgic 80s romance with a hot grumpy yet caring man, a determined strong single mama, a sweet and smart little girl (secret baby!), the perfect touch of steam, forced proximity, a little bit forbidden workplace romance, catching up with some favorite past characters, some dark issues, and a swoon-worthy heartfelt HEA, then you will absolutely adore this book." @JodiReadsNListens

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "A funny, sweet, sometimes emotional, but ultimately heartwarming story featuring endearing, three-dimensional characters and a well-crafted second chance romance." Laurie Reads Romance

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "Grey did an amazing job with the secret baby/second chance romance in Child of Mine. Both tropes can be hit or miss, but Ms. Grey took the ball and ran with it and gave her readers a funny, sexy, and endearing story." Blogging by Liza

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "Lots of nostalgia, loads of humor, just enough drama to keep it interesting but not too much to overload you, and overwhelming feelings of love and happiness in the end." LA Loves Romcoms

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "If you enjoy a secret baby romance, a second chance, and workplace romance, a really sweet and very smart child, and handling the aftermath of being a child TV star (ie. substance abuse, rehab and everything that goes along with it, which is well researched and very well handled in the story context), you will surely love this one as much as I did!" Bella Reads Romance

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "One of my favorites of the series, if not the best for me!" Lisa Loves Literature

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "The characters are extremely well developed and I feel their emotions, they are so relatable." Books of My Heart

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "An adorable kid, a dog, a bookstore, a couple of cats, and some family drama and I was a happy camper." Carole's Random Life in Books

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… "Child of Mine was a great rom com read and I HAVE to go back and read the other books in the series. While I'm late to the game, Karen Grey's writing has me completely hooked!" LB...
