Three years. Three years since Demetria Saint disappeared again. After her first year of her abduction, Demetria ran. She ran until she couldn't remember where she was going, who she was running from, or whether she would ever make it home. When police eventually find a barefoot, blood-covered seventeen-year-old stumbling out of a forest, whispering to herself and unable to explain what happened, they make an assumption that will change the course of her life. Instead of finding her family... Demetria finds herself locked away in a mental health facility, or aka the 'loony bin'. Two years pass. Two years of trying to piece together memories she can't trust, learning how to live with what happened to her, and becoming someone entirely different from the frightened girl who ran out that forest. But Demetria's story isn't over, because eventually, she walks back into a world she thought she'd lost forever. A world filled with family. Secrets. New friendships. And one person she never expected to see again. Tobias Mother Fucking Dragunov. This time, Demetria isn't the same girl who disappeared. She's louder. She's stronger. She's reckless. And she's finally ready to discover what happens when she stops running. Some rhythms are meant to be silent. Others are meant to be heard.

Sent away at five and brought back nine years later, fourteen-year-old Odette King returns to a family that loves her like she never left-but love cannot erase silence, secrets, or years of abandonment. As she slowly lowers the walls around her heart, she discovers that healing isn't about forgetting the past; it's about choosing to trust again. But when long-buried truths resurface and betrayal shatters everything she thought she knew, Odette is forced to confront a heartbreaking question: can a family survive the weight of guilt, sacrifice, and unimaginable loss? A deeply emotional story of grief, forgiveness, resilience, and unconditional love, It Is Always Gonna Be Us is a reminder that home is not the place where life begins-it is the place where, no matter how broken you become, someone is always waiting to bring you back.

At five, Clara Artese gets kidnapped from her family. At seventeen, she returns as a weapon. After twelve years in The Foundry, a secret organization that turns children into elite assassins, Clara has learned how to read every heartbeat, use her body to kill and her voice to manipulate. When her family finally finds her, Clara has only one non-negotiable condition: she won't go home without Silas and Vane, the two boys who survived the Foundry by her side. They are the only family she knows and she's ready to kill everyone who tries to separate them. The Arteses will do anything to have her back, even if it means taking two lethal strangers into their family. As a new mafia war looms and their past hunts them, Clara, Silas and Vane will learn that a family's love can be a lot more stubborn than whatever demon is chasing them. IMPORTANT NOTE: The Deadly Trio (Clara, Silas and Vane) share a strictly platonic bond. They are family, not lovers. Each of them will have their own separate love interest as the story progresses.

Two children. A family that never knew they existed. For sixteen years, the Moretti empire stood unshaken-powerful, feared, untouchable. Until the past returned. Aria and Alexander were never meant to come back. Hidden away for their own survival, raised far from the world that was always theirs. But blood doesn't forget. Now they stand at the doors of a family built on control, silence, and secrets- a father who never searched, brothers who never knew, and a past that was never truly buried. In a house where loyalty is everything and emotions are weakness, their return doesn't just change the family- it threatens to break it. Some families are built on blood. The Morettis are built on silence. Because blood doesn't guarantee belonging, and family isn't built without resistance. The question is- when everything begins with conflict, will they ever become one? Two worlds. One bloodline. No guarantee of belonging. Blood doesn't choose the road-but it remembers where it started.
