Publisher's Summary:
When Anna admits she's falling for Cole she can't believe his response. He pushes her away with an excuse that seems too flimsy to be real. Crushed, Anna continues working at Cole's Long Island studio, but she can't stop thinking about him. It isn't until Anna is called into the dean's office that the real trouble starts. To make matters worse, Edward keeps popping up at the worst times reminding her of everything she wants to forget.
Members Reviews:
4.5 stars! Secrets, book 1-5 (complete series). Intern-boss story with complex, secretive and elusive alpha male hero.
All 5 installments/books have been released and my recommendation is to read them as a set. Combined they make a 600 page read. I read 3 of the books last year. Once the remaining 2 were released I did a quick "refresher" of book 1-3 and continued with book 4 and 5.
Anna Lamore (22 years/photography student-intern/dark brown hair) meets Cole Stevens (38 years/photographer-boss/$$$/dark brown hair/blue eyes) when applying for an internship. He is her last choices initially - so much she interviewed in rain boots, ugly clothes, with a determined, rebellious and cocky attitude. Cole surprises her by obliterating her preconceived notions of him. Instead he persuades her accept an internship at his studio and so a very complicated and tumultuous relationship begins.
Cole played the part of the troubled, secretive, elusive, neglected, rich playboy alpha male very well. Though the lust and attraction is there he withholds so much of himself from Anna. He maintains and pretty much respects the boss-intern relationship. But don't fret there was lots of sexual tension throughout the series. As for Anna she was sweet and naive from a working class background. As the story progressed she stepped up and grew a backbone.
Without revealing much more I will say to expect anything from betrayal and secrets to scorned exes and stalkers... I enjoyed this series, much thanks to Cole. Pssst! Ms. Ward, I'd very much like to read Emma's story!

JUST WOW........
What a bitch!!!!! Please tell me that Sophia gets hers and that Anna delivers the blow. Poor Cole. I despise anyone that causes such grief based on lies, but what a delicious villain. Well I have to read the next story now. If you have not read this book you are missing out on a fantastic series, but please start reading with the first story, Secrets.
intense and dramatic
In this third installment of Secrets, Cole and Anna have finally admitted to having feelings for one another, but Cole is still unwilling to act on it. Sharing a few kisses here and there is taking its toll on both of them and leaving Anna more and more confused about their relationship. She begins to share his bed, and they have personal conversations, but Cole still keeps his distance.
Anna's whole world is flipped upside down when she is fired from Le Femme and called into the deans office to discuss terms of the internship and missing graduation.
