This happens to Zoey, who works at a quaint teashop in the small town of Bowen. She hasn’t dated anyone since her divorce. She’s grown to like her independence and well, there’s nothing a toy or two couldn’t fix. But things are about to get a whole lot spicier when she finds herself at the mercy of Richie, her boss’s ex-husband. Will she put her morals aside and let desire take the lead?

'Steeped in Secrets' is the first book in the series 'Bowenites' by author Ruby Dumalo. This series is generously sprinkled with spice, humor, hot men, and authentic heroines.

Advance Praise

"This book was such a fun, spicy read! The chemistry between the characters was intense, and the steamy scenes were written really well—but what really stood out to me was the funny undertone throughout. If you like your romance hot with a side of humor, this one’s a must-read!"

"I very much enjoyed reading this book: the small town scenery, the humour and ofcourse all the hot men the town seems to be filled with! The writer maintained the suspense right until the end, making it a real page-turner. If you are into heartwarming reads with loads of heat and charming characters, this one’s definitely worth picking up!"
