I liked the story, but there was no reason in the world for them to be so secretive. It only lead to misunderstandings, conflict, and deception. I also got rather annoyed at the ML for equating his "trauma" of having been used by a manipulative woman to hers of being married to a crooked psychopath who basically killed her daughter while doing his best to destroy his wife. It's kind of like comparing angst over a scratch on your Corvette to someone watching their family murdered before their eyes. He was why I couldn't give it five stars.
