Competition is healthy. Except Carrington Carter can’t ever seem to win…

Carrington has never been good enough, between competing with the ghost of a sister she never met and a brother who can do no wrong in their parents’ eyes. She’s convinced finishing nursing school will finally make her parents proud, until she finds out she didn’t pass her boards. Now she needs money, more than she’d make working as a nurse’s aide.

A secret life of late nights and fast cash may be the only way to keep the news of her most recent failure from her parents…

While driving to the hospital, she spots a gentlemen’s club, the Thirsty Beaver, and decides to apply for a job as a dancer. She’s danced her whole life—how hard could it be? The only problem is it’ll have to be a secret because if her parents found out, it’d be one more thing for them to be disappointed with her about.

David “Damien” Michaels loves his job with the DEA. Posing as a bouncer at a strip club is just another assignment…

Damien lives the single life, scratching his itch one woman at a time, while jumping his career up the ladder. The fact-finding case at the Thirsty Beaver goes perfectly until one gorgeous redhead complicates everything. She doesn’t belong there, and he knows it.

One look leaves him mesmerized, and he realizes she’s gotten under his skin. He knows he should stay away from her. It could jeopardize her safety and his case, but when he can’t convince her to leave the club…rules no longer apply.

Will the truth set them free, or will Carrington and Damien finally be consumed by their…

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A Midwesterner and a readaholic most of her life until one day an idea came into Evan’s head and a writing career was born. She's a sucker for happily ever afters and loves creating fictional worlds that others can get lost in. She loves putting her characters through the ringer, but loves when they get to that satisfying, swoony ending.

When the voices in her head give it a rest, which isn’t often, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Aurora Rose Reynolds, (the queen) Kristen Ashley, Kaylee Ryan, Lucy Score, and Sara Cate. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, movies, TV shows and life.

She's a wife to Jim and a mom to Ethan and (the real)Evan, a weightlifter, a medical scribe, a college student, and a full-time author. How does she do it? She'll never tell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secret Love was amazing
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2017

Secret Love was amazing! Carrington and Damien are explosive. Damien loved the single life until Carrington flipped his world upside down. Carrington was a pro at hiding things from her family but couldn't hide her feelings from Damien.

I loved Bellamy, Luke, and more of the Starting Over gang making an appearance. It' was like catching up with old friends!

I'm sending a high five to Evan Grace for keeping Carrington, Damien, and the Carter family real. They aren't the perfect couple or perfect family. Emotions run high and hurtful things are said in the heat of the moment. Events happen that can either tear a couple apart or bring them closer together. Feelings, thoughts, and shortcomings are revealed to a shocked family. If you're looking for a fairy tale everyone and everything is perfect, this isn't the book for you. If you're looking for a book with real characters, real emotions, and real events, you'll want to one-click Secret Love now.

This is book 2 of the Love Stings series but can be read as a standalone.

I wish that I would have known all of this was going on with Carrington during Broken Love but I love that parts of this story overlaps with Abby and Ben's story. Carrington is such a strong heroine that you feel moved by her determination, her drive and her tenacity. I loved her and Damien together. They have a strong bond and that is something I have come to love in Evan's characters. Her stories give us a little bit of everything - suspense, angst, heroism, an undeniable family bond, hot hot sex and a love story that has you cheering on the characters. The best part for me is that I absolutely adore her epilogues and just can't want to get to the end.

A relatively short read. It’s a story you can sink your teeth into. It has characters with depth—characters who are flawed and realistic. It has an interesting story that’s relevant and filled with deep emotions. It’s a story about family relationships, fears, and disappointments. It’s a story about love and self-worth. This is pure Evan Grace as she hits her stride as a writer.

I like the combination of romance, mystery, and suspense in this book as well as the main characters Damien and Carrington. I also like that it's a standalone despite being part of a series.

3.0 out of 5 stars a hot DEA Agent and a studying nurse the end result is Secret Love by Evan Grace
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016
When you team up a strip club, a hot DEA Agent and a studying nurse the end result is Secret Love by Evan Grace. This book has a little bit of everything a reader could ask for, a secretive romance, a secret identity, a secret life...and a love story that will have you wanting your own Damien.

Carrington was waiting to once again take her nursing boards but she needed a way to support herself in the meantime so having a dance background, she decided to apply at the local strip club. That's where she meets head of security Damien. What Carrington doesn't know is that Damien is an undercover DEA Agent looking to take down the owners of the Thirsty Beaver. Damien starts to fall for Carrington but he tries to keep their relationship on the down low so he doesn't put her in danger, a danger she is oblivious to.

What ensues once their relationship becomes public knowledge and she becomes the main attraction for the club is a story of the movies. You will need to read this book to find out how it turns out for this unlikely pair.

This book is about Luke and Bellamy's daughter. I love how this author continues the series but doesn't focus too much on prior characters. Damian and Cari have such a hot romance!

They always say that a little competition is healthy. There is just one problem Carrington Carter can never ever seem to win that competition…

Meet the lovely Carrington. Carrington fees that she has never been good enough. Carrington feels that she's always competing with the ghost of a sister who she never met and her brother who can do nothing wrong in their parents’ eyes. Carrington’s convinced that finishing nursing school will finally make her parents be proud of her. That's until Carrington finds out that she didn’t pass her medical boards. One problem now is that she needs money. More money than she’d make working as a nurse’s aide.

A very secret life of late nights and very fast cash, could be the only way to keep the terrible news of Carrington's most recent failure from her parents or so she thinks…

When Carrington is driving to the hospital for a shift. Carrington spots a gentlemen’s club called the Thirsty Beaver Carrington goes in and decides to apply for a job as a dancer.
