*Book 1 of the Masquerade Series* Mei Carter has lived a quiet life. Adopted at only three months old, Mei did not ask about her birth parents. Not that she didn't want to, there was no reason she had to. Until one day changed all her motives. Graduating as the top student from the police academy, Mei heads back to China, where it all started. By meeting various people, Mei will get closer to the answers she is looking for. Not only will she find clues to find those who caused the death of her parents, she'll find herself in a bind with the man she loves who happens to be the man she's after. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***SEMI-HIATUS*** Sorry everyone, I won't be updating the next parts in a while because I'm not feeling too well.
