Secretly Yours

Turning forty brings big choices for Alice Connolly. Running her own bookstore and surrounded by close friends, she decides to stop waiting for romance and start building a family on her own. Then life complicates things quickly. Alice begins trading funny, late-night messages on a no-pictures dating app with a thoughtful user named BestDadEver. At the same time, her dependable real-life friend Will Higgins, a single father, keeps stepping in to brighten her stressful days. What Alice does not realize is that the supportive friend standing next to her and her anonymous online match are the exact same guy. Expect plenty of cozy autumn vibes, knitting shop warmth, and classic mistaken-identity fun. The romance stays completely clean and closed door, focusing on sweet moments, gentle slow-burn tension, and kisses only. If you love single dad tropes, friends-to-lovers stories with "You've Got Mail" energy, and wholesome humor, this third entry in the Knitted in Love series makes a wonderful pick.
