Book synopsis:
Gwen
When I stroll into my job interview at a prestigious PR firm in D.C., the last thing I expect is my teenage fling, the sexy and enigmatic Mac, behind the desk. The firm's newest client is a woman running against the incumbent President of the United States, and I want this job so desperately that I can taste it—not to mention I have reasons for needing the income. Big secrets I've kept from Mac.
Mac
Gwen disappeared years ago then shows up in my office, looking beautiful as ever. And, even worse, it kills me that she's the perfect person for the job. I'm going crazy being in her proximity all the time, pretending we never spent that one hot summer together. Then I discover what Gwen's been hiding from me—a young son with my eyes. Suddenly, my whole world's upended. Between complications with my messed-up family, issues on the campaign trail, and the chemistry reigniting with Gwen, I'm forced to decide what really matters...and the kind of man and father I want to be.

Excerpt:
“No. You can put your dick wherever you want,” she snaps.
Sweet, innocent Gwen.
Will you ever learn not to give me an opening like that? “Can I?” Taking a step
closer, I crowd her against the wall opposite the vending machines. With my
hands on either side of her shoulders and her bucket of ice pressed between us,
I dip my head and skim my lips over her throat. “Can I really? Because there’s
only one place I want to put it right now, baby.”
Tell me to stop. Slap me.
Do something, I
silently plead with her, even as I press closer, because I know this is wrong,
but I can’t stop myself.
“Don’t
call me that. I know why you do it.” Her voice is sharp but a little ragged
with vulnerability too. She’s angry, all right, but not because her boss is
being
holy-fucking-hell-I’m-going-to-sue-you-and-own-your-company-when-this-is-over
inappropriate but because I called her “baby.” A pet name she used to love to
hate.
“I
don’t think you do, Gwen,” I murmur, teasing my fingers under the hem of her
shirt to stroke her hip, contemplating the wisdom of taking the bucket away
from her.
“Mac…”
It’s a strangled squeak of sound, barely recognizable as my name, and the
bucket slips from her grasp and clatters to the floor, scattering ice around
our feet.
Not
wasting a second, I press forward, crushing her against the wall as our mouths
come together. Just as it always did, our kiss seems to speak a language known
only to us, unique and intimate and full of all the things neither of us has
the courage to express with words. When she sucks on my lower lip, she’s saying
I’ve missed you, and when I nibble at the corner
of her mouth, I’m asking why did you go? She bites me. It doesn’t matter, I’m here now. I lick the seam of her
lips. I want you. She opens for me,
inviting me to deepen the kiss. Then take me.
Liza Gaines is a new author to me but after reading Undisclosed I’m left wondering why she hasn’t crossed my radar before now and I will certainly be checking out other works by her as soon as time permits. This is one of those books that doesn’t go in the direction you expect, it’s an emotional second chance romance with characters you can’t help loving.
When Gwen applies for a new job the last person she expects to see is her son’s father, she had no idea the PR position was at her precollege flings family firm so when she walks into the room and sees Mac she quickly decides to pretend she doesn’t know who he is, play dumb and he may not ask the questions she knows he will want answers too......
This book does end on a cliffhanger and I have to say I really need book 2 now, I’m desperate to find out what happens next. I found this book enjoyable with great characters and plenty of secondary characters who deserve to have their story told so I’m hoping this is going to turn into a wonderful family series. This book is a well written secret baby/second chance romance with a great plot and I highly recommend you one click this gem, you won’t be disappointed.
Undisclosed is a wonderful story centering on Gwen and Mac. Having met in college and then losing touch, neither is prepared for how they meet up again so many years later. Gwen is applying for a job working within Mac's firm and needless to say they both are shocked. There is a lot of unresolved feelings but they both seem to get along well and Gwen is doing a good job. She needs to tell him something and when he finds out, you don't expect the story to go in the direction it does.
I really enjoyed this book, so much so that I cannot wait for more. Gwen's family is great but Mac's certainly leaves a lot to be desired. Can these two cope with how things will progress?? The sense of family was great and the storyline had my attention. Looking forward to more books from Ms Gaines. A really good second chance romance!
