standalone ~ mafia siblings series I stare at the elegant man. He smiles at me. I tilt my head to the side, hands clasped behind my back. "Good day," The man begins. "I am sorry for your loss." The words sound force and rehearsed. He doesn't mean it. He wears a polished outfit: a suit, watch, church shoes. His one outfit probably costs more than my entire wardrobe. He holds out his hand. I gingerly shake it, unsure of this man. The Johnsons are nowhere in sight, and the church is empty. "I am Liam, your brother," He clarifies. Brother?

standalone ~ mafia siblings series "You can't make me stay here! I will get an emancipation." I yell. Flashbacks of the gun in my hand, the almost-dead boy. I shudder. A sick feeling settles in my heart. "I forbid you from going anywhere else. It's safe here, with us," Alexander answers. He is practically fuming. "Clearly, it's not!" I stand from the leather chair, backing away to the mahogany door. Pure, hot rage bubbles inside of me. Never. I will never become one of them. He begins to rush to me, but I turn on my heel and sprint out, down the hallway, through the house, and to the brick fence surrounding the mansion. I go up to the black metal gate, slip through the rails, and run out onto the forest-surrounded street. *** Evelyn Rhodes was kidnapped at the age of seven by her uncle after seeing her brothers kill a woman.

Sixteen-year-old Grace has been sculpted into perfection at an elite ballet academy, a porcelain doll who never cracks, never questions, never breaks. The Academy saved her from a home she'd rather forget, and discipline became her armor. Suddenly, like a rug pulled out from under her, Grace is faced with the six brothers who are adamant on bringing her home. Everything she'd lived, every memory of her past, was a mere lie. They claim she was stolen from them as a child. Now Grace finds herself in a mansion that's half sanctuary, half prison, with brothers who don't know whether to protect her or let her breathe. She's never wanted saving, especially not from men who watch her like she might disappear again. Especially not after she'd worked so hard to build a life for herself. They believe she's their saving grace, but maybe it was Grace who needed saving. The twisted Madden Family is full of lies and secrets, and now that Grace is home, all that was hidden is meant to be revealed.
