The story
In the Great War, brothers Leo and Alex both love the beautiful Adelaide — and a baby girl of hidden Jewish lineage becomes a burden Leo chooses to carry alone. When the brothers are drafted, Adelaide is left to survive a world coming apart, guarding a secret that will outlast the war.
As Hitler’s shadow falls over Europe, the family is drawn into a web of dangerous love and deadly lies — a sister obsessed with her sister’s husband, a murdered SS officer, and marriages to Nazi men entered into to protect a child’s true identity. Across four books, one secret is carried from one war into the next. Read in order, start to finish.
The saga
The Secret They Hid
The Great War. Brothers Leo and Alex are caught in a love triangle with the beautiful Adelaide — Leo the steadfast protector, Alex the seducer who wins her heart. Their world is complicated by a baby girl of hidden Jewish lineage, a secret Leo chooses to bear alone. When the brothers are drafted, Adelaide must navigate survival on her own, and a truth she can never reveal. (Ends on a cliffhanger.)
An Innocent Child
The story picks up where the cliffhanger left off. As the years pass and Europe darkens toward another war, the innocent child at the heart of the family carries a hidden heritage she is far too young to understand — one that grows more dangerous with every step Germany takes toward the Reich. The choices made to keep her safe will cost the people who love her more than they know.
Margot’s Secret
Amid Hitler’s conquest of Europe, the family teeters on the edge of ruin. Trudy is still obsessed with her sister’s husband, Max — and Max is torn between loyalty to his wife, Margot, and giving in to Trudy, who holds a deadly card: she can turn him in for the murder of her own husband, the SS officer Rudolf. One family, bound by love and blackmail, with the Reich closing in.
The Lies We Told
Frankfurt, in the shadows of the war. Aryan German girls are turning up dead, and at the center of the mystery is Margot — a woman whose secret could shatter lives. When she meets Kurtis, a Nazi officer, she sees a way to hide the true identity of her unborn child’s father: marry him, and let him believe the child is his own. In Berlin, Trudy risks everything on a dangerous affair with an SS officer named Peter. The web of lies is drawn to its breaking point.
