"Secrets and Smugglers" is a Victorian styled romance that follows Waverley Baker, a downtrodden young woman living under her cousin's cruel guardianship, who finds unexpected adventure when she meets a mysterious stranger.

After being publicly humiliated, Waverley escapes to the enchanting coastal village of Smuggler's Cove, where she unexpectedly reunites with the mysterious and handsome man and discovers a world of hidden tunnels, village secrets, and growing attraction.

But as her vindictive cousin plots against her and shocking truths about her mysterious love interest emerge, Waverley must navigate deception, danger, and her own insecurities to claim the love and belonging she's always craved. This swoony slow-burn story combines adventure, mystery, and a windswept romance in a vividly painted historical setting.
