 What's a runaway bride's secret fantasy?
Juliette Stanton is ten minutes away from vowing to love, honor and cherish a scheming mobster-connected liar. For the rest of her life. And so with the media watching her every move, the high-profile senator's daughter flees her own wedding. Dubbed "Chicago's Runaway Bride," Juliette needs somewhere to hide out, to heal her broken heart. So she heads to a "fantasy island" and pays big bucks for anonymity and the chance to meet an honest man who'll love her for who she really is. Total fantasy, right? Day one, she falls for tall, dark-haired, ocean-blue-eyed Doug Houston. He's everything she's ever wanted. Except he's not exactly who he says he is, either...

Reviews
"Ms. Phillips has presented her fans with a hot, sultry novel that should not be missed!"
~HeartRate Reviews
"I've been a fan of Ms. Phillips for a long time and SECRET FANTASY didn't disappoint me. Her characters (who come alive with real problems and real dialogue) work to overcome the odds, culminating in a fulfilling and satisfying ending."
~Barbara O'Neill
"SECRET FANTASY provides a tantalizing escape. The luscious sensuality and allure of hot nights provide a marvelous backdrop for this exhilarating love story. The sparkle of a heroine letting her hair down for the first time and indulging in a simple drink or a picnic dinner and a man who finds her irresistible creates a hot, sultry read. Carly Phillips' characteristic passion sparkles in her prose. Highly recommended."
~C. Penn, WordWeaving
"I am hooked on this series! Carly Phillips has created an unbelievable setting and then allowed the reader to find the things that make it all seem possible. This is not a book where you will sit back and say, that could happen to me, but it is a book where you will sit back and say—wow! i wish that could happen to me!"
