"Why do you look at me like that?" she whispered. Caiden swallowed hard. "Because I know you," he said. "I just...don't know how." "I feel like I should remember you," she replied.

Audrey Briggs has never felt like she belonged. Living under the roof of cold-hearted step-parents who treat her like a burden, she's spent her life walking on eggshells, quiet, obedient, and dreaming of escape. When an envelope arrives with her name on it, everything changes. She's been accepted into the prestigious Valemont Royal Academy, a school known for transforming students into society's elite. But Valemont isn't just uniforms and courtly manners. From the moment Audrey steps onto campus, she keeps crossing paths, literally, with a two boys who are strangely kind, fiercely protective, and inexplicably drawn to her.

She's Audrey Valestri and she has six brothers, two of whom live among her classmates, and four who operate in the shadows of power and crime.

The Orsini family was once a proud and respected Italian mafia family that came from an ancient noble lineage. They were the family who had it all: a loving family man for a father, a kind and doting mother, two sons, and baby triplets (two boys and a girl). That all changed when the patriarch and Don of the Orisini family suddenly died. The sixteen-year-old eldest son was forced to step up and take on the role of his late father; he was young and unprepared, and their family's enemies took advantage of this. They set up an ambush to kill the remaining Orsinis, but only the mother died of the ambush. The six Orsini children survived, but much to their horror, two of the triplets disappeared the day of the ambush (the older triplet and the youngest), leaving no traces or bodies. Twelve years later, The once mighty Orisini family only consists now of three brothers, and they were forced to relocate to a city in Canada, where they are now trying to rebuild everything they lost and finding their lost brother and sister. What happened to their missing brother and sister? Will they ever find them again? What happens if they do? Will they remain to be the brother and sister they once remembered?

Solienne (n.) - a name evoking sunlight after ruin; the quiet resilience of something lost, yet still burning. Isabella Moretti was kidnapped when she was three years old. She doesn't remember the brothers who loved her. And they don't know the girl she's become. Living under a new name in a quiet city, Isabella is a survivor-sharp-eyed, secretive, and always prepared to run. But when she transfers to a prestigious academy, two of the school's most feared students take notice: Antonio and Francesco Moretti. Cold, calculating, untouchable-until now. They don't know why they're drawn to her. Why she feels like something familiar. Why their guarded silence begins to crack around her laugh, her pain, her presence. They have no idea she's the sister they've mourned for years. And Isabella? She has no idea she's walking straight back into the family that never stopped searching. Solienne is a story of blood that remembers, even when memory doesn't-of lost things finding their way home, and love that endures even when the truth is buried in silence.

"You're so fucking insufferable Nathanael" He lets out a deep chuckle that sends tingles down my back. "That's hilarious coming from you." "What is your fucking problem with me?" I ask slightly pissed off but mostly confused. "What's my problem with you? You're a hotheaded, loudmouth, annoying prick." He steps closer to me with every word. "Yeah, well you're just a condescending, egotistical, full of yourself, little bitch." He walks so close he's between my legs as I'm still seated on the counter, and the distance between us is all I can think about. "I hate you so much Evens." He breathes out, the warmness of his breath fanning over my lips. "The feeling's mutual, Rivers." Our eyes never break contact, and a suffocating silence takes over the little distance between us. His eyes flick down to my lips and then back up to my eyes. Before I can speak his hands grab my waist and pull me closer to him. A soft gasp leaves my lips but it's silenced when his mouth crashes onto mine and without a second thought I kiss him back. ~~~~~ Caiden Evens isn't normal, he's been in the foster care system since he was three, he has no idea of how he ended up there but after more than 20 different placements over his life he's stopped hoping that his real family might be out there.
