A Woman with Secrets
Kate Winthrop's sizable inheritance was stolen by her ex-husband. So she does what any wronged woman would--she gets even. When she breaks in to his empty house, she stumbles onto a large sum of her money. She takes it and boards a boat destined for the Caribbean. All Kate wants is a place to hide. She doesn't expect the other passengers to become friends, and she certainly doesn't expect to fall in love with the ship's captain, Cole Hunter. Although Cole seems to return her feelings, he has a tough time trusting, since he's also been betrayed by an ex. But secrets can be hard to hide, and they could ruin everything between Cole and Kate.

About the author
Inglath Cooper
71 books964 followersVirginia author Inglath Cooper fell in love with reading as a little girl, devouring most of the books in her elementary school library. At some point, she decided she wanted to pursue a writing career, creating romance fiction that did for others what her favorite books have done for her. “I love character-driven books that leave me feeling as if I’ve really known these people and make me wish I didn’t have to turn the last page.”
“Romance fiction has always appealed to me because it deals with so many of the relationships in a woman’s life. Not only the love of her life, but often her relationship with her mother, sister or best friend. Romance authors have so much room to explore many of the meaningful moments and transitions in women’s lives. And who doesn’t love a good love story?”
Inglath most often writes stories about love and life that are set in small Virginia towns like the one where she grew up. “I like to think the flavor of my hometown shows up in my books both in their setting and through the characters who people it.”
When aspiring writers ask her how to be an author, she says, “Everything I know about writing books I learned from reading books.”
Inglath has been chosen as a RITA® Award winner for best long contemporary romance novel given out each year by Romance Writers of America. Her books are available through Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, itunes.com, and Kobobooks.com.
Outside of writing, Inglath is actively involved in dog rescue, working with The Franklin County Humane Society to place dogs and cats in need of rehoming. She volunteers her time in every capacity possible: serving on the Board of Directors, fundraising, photographing dogs and cats available for adoption and serving as a foster home. “Helping an abused or neglected dog go on to have a wonderful life with a family who loves them is more rewarding than I can possibly say.”

Inglath Cooper
I love this author. I bought the first book for 99cents and have bought all of her other books. There's no sleazy descriptive sex scenes boring you to death. There's always a good story line in her books.

Quick Easy Read
The beginning started out a little unbelievable, but I liked the characters development. It is definitely a good beach read!

Gripping plot full of interesting characters. The scenery was very beautiful (in my head :)) It was a very intense ride.

I enjoyed the secondary story – Harry and Margo’s – more than I did Kate and Cole’s.

I really loved this book. It made me laugh & cry and plenty of suspense. I’ve read a lot of Inglath Cooper’s books and this is one of my favorites/though I’ve liked them all.
