    About this ebook

    When Victoria Buonadies, secretly “Torrid Tori” Baxter, author of sizzling erotic romances, arrives at the Hudson Valley farmhouse she’s inherited, handsome Jack Conner terrifies her as he steps naked from the shower.
    A comic romance, Keeping Victoria's Secret is about two people coping with sacrifice, betrayal, and loss, while discovering love.
    Victoria was longtime caregiver for her grandmother who’s left her the farm. After years of working for his unscrupulous Uncle Charley, Jack also inherits the farm, but unfortunately, Charley never was the owner. Sinister Jonathan Van Winkle lawyers-up, claiming he’s the rightful heir. Then a mysterious elderly gentleman arrives, claiming the property is his.
    Victoria and Jack become unwilling allies and eventually willing lovers. She struggles to keep her authorship of erotic romances a secret in the small town of Pippen's Grove. Jack discovers there’s more to Victoria than he first realized and he's not the only one with romantic aspirations.
    Cover design by, Camille Shaffer.

    Peter and Melinda Read are a husband and wife creative writing team, hence the pen name, Melinda Peters. While he does most of the writing and she does most of the editing, on any given day either one might have the inspiration. Keeping Victoria's Secret was the first in this series of humorous contemporary romance novels followed by Taming Theresa. Included are some of the author's favorite recipes. Join us as our characters take a road trip to Floyd, Virginia in the third part of our Pippin's Grove Series, The Reads now reside in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia and find time to pursue a variety of hobbies, such as gardening, cooking, collecting, and especially reading. Appreciation of a well-written story leads quite naturally to a desire to create one of your own. They have two married children and are collecting grandchildren- four so far. Melinda Peters also has plans for the publication of another series, this time historical romances, as well as some works of non-fiction. Can you say cookbook?
