Secrets by HM Ward Books in Order

Anna's troubled romantic life becomes more complicated when an internship brings her to Cole Stevens's elite studio. Her wealthy, older boss attracts her, but his arrogance, emotional wounds, and their professional relationship make intimacy difficult.

Anna's increasingly vivid thoughts about her boss Cole unsettle her belief that their flirtation is harmless. As attraction grows, she questions whether finding another boyfriend would solve the problem or cost her the man she actually wants.

Anna admits she is falling for Cole, only to meet a rejection she cannot understand. Continuing at his studio becomes painful, and a summons from her dean introduces further trouble while Edward repeatedly intrudes on her life.

Separated from Cole, Anna replays their intimacy and begins questioning whether her feelings went deeper than a crush. A devastating betrayal has undermined both her professional future and the relationship she now struggles to live without.

Anna's suspicion that someone has been following her becomes terrifying when a shadow appears outside her bathroom. With Cole absent and her roommate at work, she faces the possibility of confronting her stalker completely alone.
