The Secrets Series

Disappearances, deaths, threats.... The local police are beginning to suspect all these crimes are linked. They're being committed by the sinister and mysterious Volkov family. There's just one problem: They can't prove it. In order to take down the Volkovs and put a stop to these crimes, they call in a young, ambitious policeman, Antonin Jelennski. Antonin travels hundreds of miles, leaving his fiancee behind, to go undercover and infiltrate the Volkovs' organization. He pins down incriminating evidence, but he finds far more than they ever expected.

When Nadezhda Moroz finds a photo of her adoptive mother and realizes she's been living a lie, she ignores all warnings from her family and sets out to discover the grisly secret that killed her father just days after his wedding.... What she finds reveals just how twisted up her family's history is. Her search for the truth pushes her into the arms of the mysterious Vasily Volkov, who promises he knows her story...
