***Mild Spoiler***Although this book can be read as a stand alone I highly recommend that you first read "Camouflaged" (which is a novella, currently free on Amazon.com).  And "Hidden", also found on Amazon.com.  "Camouflaged"  is where the two main characters in "Concealed" are first introduced.From the book "Camouflaged": Gabe was serving in Afghanistan when he met Alexis who was there on a humanitarian mission. That was 4 years ago."Concealed" Present day: After 4 years of heartbreak and suffering Gabe travels 4,000 to confront Alexis as to why she never contacted him once she left Afghanistan.  They had fallen in love and Alexis has promised to keep in touch until he returned home and they had plans to continue their relationship.  But Alexis had cut him off. No letters, no e-mail, no phone calls...nothing and she refused to return any of his letters and phone calls. And for 4 years now Gabe had wondered why....what had changed?  What had gone wrong?  Gabe had never gotten over his love for Alexis.Finally, he realized he would never get over her so he found out where she was and went to confront her. This is the complex story of Gabe's and Alexis's lives. It is also a story of prejudice and secrets. Alexis avoided Gabe because of her family and her heritage.  She was also dating a guy approved by her parents.  Gabe was white.  Alexis was from Mexican decent.  Her parents were first generation immigrants. While Alexis still felt the undeniable attraction to Gabe and still had powerful feelings for him she stayed away from him to please her family.  But Gabe was not giving up so easily.This book has all you could ask for in a romance book.  Love, angst,secrets, mild sex and a HEA!  I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance novel!
