Romance readers awaiting Tessa Bailey's next will savor her playful secret-admirer romance "Secretly Yours." Hallie Welch's return to the Vos estate comes with plenty of memories of Julian Vos, her childhood crush. Helping take care of the estate's unruly garden, Hallie is surprised to find that the Julian she was once so fond of has turned into a decidedly grouchy professor, confirmed by the fact their personalities only clash now when they used to meld so well. But perhaps Hallie's feelings run deeper than she thought, because after a night out with the girls, she leaves Julian a letter anonymously revealing her long-held feelings for him. Julian is surprised someone has taken the time to confess their feelings but cannot focus on anyone else's feelings besides Hallie's. Their reunion seems destined, and despite his mission to finish a novel, Hallie proves to be a welcome distraction that he's not sure he can let go of.
