The Family Secrets

Every Family Has Secrets. Theirs Can Get You Killed.

From the outside, the Dubois family appears to have everything—wealth, power, success, and a luxurious life in one of Chicago’s most elite neighborhoods. But behind the gates of their beautiful mansion is a family built on secrets, betrayal, dangerous relationships, and lies that have been buried for decades. Sun Dubois is a successful businessman, husband, and father with a deadly secret life. Behind his respectable image, Sun is a powerful drug lord known as The King, with deep connections to Chicago’s criminal world and a past that could destroy everything he has built. His wife, China, has spent years protecting their children from Sun’s secrets, but she has shocking secrets of her own. Their children are unknowingly caught in the middle. Marcus, the oldest son, is a charming ladies’ man whose past comes back to haunt him. Champ, a successful rapper and major drug dealer, is determined to find and destroy the mysterious drug lord interfering with his territory—without realizing the enemy he is hunting is closer than he could ever imagine. And Diamond, the beautiful youngest daughter, carries a devastating secret after discovering that her father has been sleeping with her best friend, Nadia. But Nadia’s betrayal goes much deeper than Diamond realizes. As hidden children emerge, bloodlines are questioned, old enemies return, and long-buried relationships are exposed, the Dubois family begins to unravel. Every answer leads to another secret, and every secret brings them closer to danger. When kidnapping, revenge, violence, and murder enter their world, the family must decide who they can trust—even among themselves. Packed with family drama, suspense, crime, betrayal, shocking revelations, and unexpected twists, The Family Secrets takes readers inside a powerful Chicago family where everyone has something to hide. Because in the Dubois family, blood may make you family, but secrets can make you enemies—and some secrets are worth killing to protect. The Family Secrets — Book One By Sylve

Writing gives Sylve the opportunity to turn her imagination into stories that entertain readers and keep them emotionally invested from beginning to end. She enjoys creating jaw-dropping moments and cliffhangers that make it difficult to put the book down. The Family Secrets is the beginning of Sylve’s journey as an author and introduces readers to the powerful and complicated Dubois family. With secrets still waiting to be uncovered, their story is far from over. Sylve looks forward to continuing The Family Secrets series while creating additional suspenseful stories filled with drama, mystery, danger, and unforgettable revelations.
