The Secret: The Sarafin Perigord Series, Book 1

Catherine is a surgeon born into a family with a frustrating number of secrets. Photos hidden from view, her mother crying in the night, her father telling her she'd find out more when she was older. Well, she's older, her parents have both passed away and still completely in the dark she's moving from London to France to live in the home she never knew her father owned - and to meet Jean-Marc, the mysterious friend of the family her father told her to trust.

France introduces her to Tristan and from there to love, happiness and the French way of life. It also brings the growing realisation that not only are many of the people that she meets not exactly human, but possibly neither is she... 

When her family's darkest secret is finally revealed, Catherine is forced to choose between staying in France where she has finally found happiness or protecting those she now loves from what she has learned by returning to England to the same half-life that her parents endured. 

The Secret is sexily romantic and a fun read in a similar style to the books of Charlaine Harris and Kresley Cole.

The Secret is the first novel in the Sarafin Perigord series. The books can be enjoyed in any order as each is a stand-alone novel in its own right.
