Evangeline-bearer of good news. That's what her name meant, and that's exactly what she was. When Alessandro gets a call from a social worker in Chicago asking him if he would be willing to finally take his sister in after so many years, he is ecstatic. Finally, he had something good to tell his brothers. The exact thing they needed to fill the void in their home, their family, and their lives.

They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was. Serena Carter once had a family - loud, messy, beautifully imperfect. It wasn't always easy, but it was hers. Then one accident ripped it all away, leaving her alone and unwanted. Now she's sent to live with the Morettis: four brothers and a father who see her as nothing more than the living reminder of betrayal. The stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she needs to survive until she turns eighteen and can walk away. But hate is a dangerous thing. It turns into obsession. Into protectiveness. Into something no one expected. Because Serena has secrets - ones even she doesn't fully understand. And in a world where power is everything, she's about to prove she belongs where everyone swore she didn't. She isn't looking for love. She's fighting for something stronger: a place to finally call home.
