The hero might keep the heroine a secret because he has a past that could affect their future together. Or perhaps he's promised someone else and doesn't want to break that commitment. Maybe he's concerned about her reputation and wants to wait for the right time to reveal their connection.
Maybe he's trying to protect her from some danger or threat. Or it could be that he's worried about how others will react to their relationship.
