Small-Town Secrets Series by Sophia Sinclair

Molly wasn't looking for love — or a mystery — but she found both. Molly Miller is an overworked and underpaid librarian struggling to raise her three kids herself. The only romances she has time for are the novels she returns to the shelves. Then one day, David Conrad walks into the Fairview Public Library. He looks just like the sexy pirate on the cover of a romance novel her best friend, Lori, has been reading, so they secretly refer to him as The Pirate Man... moreMolly wasn't looking for love — or a mystery — but she found both. Molly Miller is an overworked and underpaid librarian struggling to raise her three kids herself. The only romances she has time for are the novels she returns to the shelves. Then one day, David Conrad walks into the Fairview Public Library. He looks just like the sexy pirate on the cover of a romance novel her best friend, Lori, has been reading, so they secretly refer to him as The Pirate Man. But the truth is even stranger. His appearance means old secrets are about to be revealed, and not everyone in town will be happy about that. Who is David Conrad? David immediately rubs Molly the wrong way. But she somehow keeps getting entangled with him in ways she can't seem to avoid. He claims to be descended from a prominent Fairview family that was brutally murdered in the 1950s. The Conrad murders were never solved, and now that a Conrad is back in town and asking questions, the people of Fairview are in for some surprises. So is Molly. Who'd have thought an irritating Pirate Man could capture her heart? About the Small-Town Secrets series This is the first book of the Small-Town Secrets series, set in the charming little burg of Fairview. It's a place where everybody knows everybody else's business, but there are still plenty of secrets, too. Get to know all the ladies of Fairview — and their secrets.

But after she is shaken by a local tragedy, she decides it’s time to give up on chasing doctors and start building a better life for herself. Her first step is buying her own house, and she ends up with one with a very peculiar history. That sets off a surprising chain of events that rocks the lives of many of her Fairview friends — including her friend Molly from Worth the Wait. Jake Williams is the local real estate agent who shows Lori a house that wouldn't be for just anyone, but is perfect for her. Back in the day, it belonged to a man who fancied himself the Hugh Hefner of Fairview. Legendary parties took place there in the ‘70s, and nobody has redecorated it since then. The house is an ode to excess and debauchery, right down to its tacky gold wallpaper and the disco ball in the master bedroom. Lori immediately decides it’s the house for her. Little does she realize what will follow! Any woman who has ever decided to change her life will identify with Lori’s story. The Small-Town Secrets Series, in order: Worth the Wait Kiss and Tell Twice Shy (coming soon) ... and lots more to come! Review of Worth the Wait: “Best debut novel I have ever read, and I have read a lot!” — Romance audiobook narrator Sarah Puckett I cannot say enough about this book! I love the whole librarian single mom angle and meeting up with “The Pirate”??!! So much YES! Sophia Sinclair creates this small town feel with real characters that have so much depth that you can’t help but fall in love with. Molly not only tackles being a single parent, but also issues with her beloved library and her crazy awful landlord! It’s real and I absolutely loved that it was such a big part of the story. Then, she meets this mysterious stranger who is new in this small town (we all know how that goes) and he shakes things up in her already chaotic life. They have this love/hate relationship that they have to struggle through. This book has so many layers, love, parenting, mystery, bringing in new relationships to the family, and it is all done so well. Best debut novel I have ever read, and I have read a lot! I cannot wait to find out more about the characters in this town! www.facebook.com/sarahpuckettvo sarahpuckettvo.com About the Author I’m a small-town girl who left behind careers in journalism and advertising to create a special small town full of unforgettable characters.
