➤ STARTED JULY 2020 ➤ COMPLETED FEBRUARY 2023 By the age of thirteen, Olivia has already been adopted five times-and learned that nothing ever lasts. So when she is suddenly requested by a man named Alessandro Black, a stranger she has barely spoken to, she is given no explanations-only a one‑way trip into yet another unfamiliar home. What Olivia doesn't know is that Alessandro Black is far more than he appears. Behind his cold demeanor and controlled silence, Alessandro is the feared leader of the Black Devils, a powerful mafia syndicate built on secrecy and bloodshed. The adoption is not his idea-it is his wife's wish, a consolation for a child she can never bear. To Alessandro, Olivia is merely an obligation, as long as she keeps his wife content and stays out of his world. But things don't go as planned. As days pass, the ruthless gang leader begins to soften toward the quiet, guarded girl living under his roof. For the first time, Alessandro finds himself willing to protect someone-not from rivals, but from the dangerous life he leads. When his wife leaves on an extended business trip, Olivia and Alessandro are left alone with unspoken tension, hidden truths, and a growing connection neither expected. Will they remain distant strangers bound by circumstance-or form a bond strong enough to survive the shadows of the mafia? A story of secrecy, reluctant attachment, and the lengths one man will go to protect the child who was never meant to matter. COVER DESIGN BY ME

Zayn and Liam have built a steady life together and already adopted two sons: Louis (17), sharp and perceptive, and Niall (16), calm and diplomatic. Their family isn't perfect, but it works. Then they get a call. An eleven-year-old boy needs a home. Urgently. Highly intelligent. Multiple failed placements. Concerning behavior. They say yes. From the moment Harry arrives, everything shifts. He isn't loud-he's precise. He watches, analyzes, and finds the cracks. His provocations are deliberate: a look held too long, words chosen carefully, silence used as a weapon. He pushes Liam to his limits, testing exactly how far he can go before they give up on him. Because that's what he expects. Zayn stays calm, refusing to play along. Louis sees right through him and pushes back without hesitation. Niall tries to keep the peace. But Harry keeps his distance. To him, closeness is dangerous- because he's certain it never lasts.

Sixteen-year-old Olive Monroe has never known freedom. Trapped in a dimly lit corner of a crumbling Arizona house, she's kept under the watch of her cruel stepfather, Rex. She dreams of sunlight, open skies, and a life beyond the shadows-but dreaming is the closest she's ever come to escaping. When Rex is arrested, Olive learns a shocking truth: she has five older brothers. Men who command respect with the click of a heel. Men who have spent fifteen years searching for the sister stolen from them. For Matteo Conti, the night the phone call comes is the first time he's been able to breathe since that day. Now, his baby sister is finally coming home. But the girl he finds is not the one he remembers-she's quiet, skittish, and flinches at the smallest sound. As Olive navigates a new world of power, protection, and overwhelming family love, she faces a choice: keep her past locked away, or trust her brothers with the truth. And for the Conti brothers, the question becomes-can the most influential men in the world learn how to be gentle for the one person they'd burn it all down to protect?

When my mother died, I thought I was alone in the world. I never expected to find out she'd been hiding something-an entire family. A father I never knew. Brothers I've never met. All of them part of a dangerous mafia I was never supposed to find. Curiosity pulled me to them. Fear made me run. But now they know I exist-and the mafia doesn't let go of what's theirs.

I've been bullied my him since we were in sixth grade... We're juniors now.. But he still treats me the same.. When will he change?
