The Family Secret

ONE FAMILY EMPIRE. ONE EXPLOSIVE SECRET. ONE FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL.

THE FAMILY SECRET is the intoxicating new thriller from NJ Barker, author of THE HONESTY INDEX.

In a family business, everything is personal, and nothing stays a secret

House of Marcham is under threat. The phenomenally successful fine-fragrance empire has an evocative history and is well respected in the perfume industry, but the scent of success masks something far darker. Jesse is poised to succeed his mother at the helm of the business when an explosive protest rocks the House of Marcham 25th anniversary party, setting off a chain of events that will change the Marcham family forever.

As his dream of leading the firm evaporates, Jesse fights to save something far more important than the family’s legacy – the lives of those he loves.

In the world of luxury fragrance, some perfumes are to die for.

Blending the top notes of the must-watch HBO series Succession with the glamourous heart of House of Gucci and base notes that evoke bestselling author T.M. Logan, The Family Secret is your next obsession in contemporary thrillers.
