Scandalous Secrets by Synithia Williams
A Review By: SB
Can they do what’s right...without betraying their hearts?
Senatorial candidate Byron Robidoux always does the right thing. And, after years of focus and dedication, his life and campaign are going exactly to plan - until a blackmailer jeopardizes everything. No one is supposed to know that 13 years ago, Byron told a lie to protect a college friend. And now that lie could destroy his career...and threaten the woman he never stopped loving.
Zoe Hammond hardly recognizes the refined and handsome politician Byron has become. The last time she saw him, he was the friend who saved her life by claiming to be the father of her unborn baby. For that, she’d do anything for him. Except Byron’s world of wealth, reputation, and deceit isn’t a place where Zoe or her daughter belong. But when a menace from the past comes calling again, staying with Byron is best for them all. And as the searing attraction between them builds, they soon realize some things are worth fighting for...especially love.

A thirteen-year-old secret resurfaces.
Although Byron knows Zoe would do nothing to jepordize his political race, he must warn her of their secret resurfacing. Zoe has found strength she didn't think she possessed years ago. Byron and Zoe work together to keep Lila's paternity a secret, but someone has other plans. Throughout the story, Zoe’s and Bryron's feelings heighten and grow beyond the friendship of their past.
The author weaves a whodunnit within this love story. Synithia is able to grab the reader from the very start and keep us trying to figure out who's behind the emails and threats. Adenrele's performance was amazing.
