“Totally opposite, likable protagonists who beautifully complement each other; quirky, lovable secondary characters; and vivid descriptions of island life are highlights of this sweet, funny romance.”

A Secret Romance

Julie Wong has a dilemma. Her next door neighbor, Claudia Smith, has broken her leg and moved into the care center where Julie works. Claudia has told everyone that she doesn’t want her son Ned to know about her accident. He’s busy with work, and this news will only worry him. Julie, however, thinks he should be informed and decides to take matters into her own hands. Unbeknownst to Claudia, she initiates a secret email correspondence to let Ned know what has happened.

Ned Smith isn’t sure what to make of Julie and her email. It’s his busiest time of year at work, and he doesn’t need any outside complications or concerns. But he sends off a short note acknowledging her post and, before long, Julie and Ned are hooked on daily emails.

When the time comes for Ned to pay a visit to his mother, both he and Julie are unsure how their correspondence will translate into real life. But one thing’s for sure, with Claudia and her nosy friends around their growing relationship isn’t likely to stay a secret for very long.

Annette Mahon is a former librarian who loves to read and to quilt. A native of Hilo, Hawaii, she now lives in Arizona.

The Secret Correspondence is her thirteenth book for AVALON.
