After her mother's unexpected passing, Gemma is sent to live with a group of strange men who don't seem overly fond of her being there. Their secrets, their strange rules and behaviour make Gemma want to run; to hide, to go back in time to when everything felt safe again. But life doesn't always play the way's expected, and Gemma's life of before can only stay as that: in the past.

They used her. Branded her. Sent her back when they were done. Darya has lived her life in silence, a ghost in her own body. Passed from one cruel hand to the next. She's learned not to ask questions. Not to beg. Not to hope. So when a kind man appears, she doesn't feel rescued. She feels tricked. She doesn't understand him. Doesn't trust him. Doesn't understand why he's here now, after everything. Maybe he's just another man who wants something. Maybe he'll use her and leave like the rest. And she fears that this time she won't survive it. • This book includes sensitive themes of trauma involving a minor and may be difficult for some readers.

Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

Nothing has ever broken sixteen year old Cara. Even when her wealthy, fractured family fell apart, she pushed through. However, her resilience is tested when family obligations force her to move in with Zack, the brother who abandoned them four years ago and seems to hate her for reasons she does not understand. At her new school, she becomes a target of cruel bullying by a group of boys who takes her resilience as a challenge. However, Cara refuses to back down or be compliant. She pushes back at home. She pushes back at school. But the harder she fights, the more pressure builds, and the more dangerous it becomes for the girl who won't give up. "And I bet you believe that too, don't you? That nothing will break you- that you can push through this?" Blake didn't stop. His smile grew wider as he cruelly raised my face to meet his. "Well this is a promise to you, Cara. I can and will break you. I won't stop until I fully ruin you and you lose every part of yourself." I didn't let myself believe him. I would find a way out. This wouldn't last forever.

Khloe Lakewoods life isn't ordinary. It's the opposite. She has six older and overprotective brothers. How does she survive?

However they discovered her bestfriend wasn't the best influence and now she's forced to move to another school. With all her brothers. This is a rough and unedited draft. Expect mistakes. But I enjoy writing it. [Trigger warning - there are some triggering topics mentioned that may not be appropriate for some readers. Mental health issues. Eating disorder - if this is a sensitive topic for you I do not recommend reading this book. It will be very triggering -. Drinking. Swearing. Please drop me a message if concerned or want to figure out if this book is appropriate to you. I try and treat the issues as delicate and realistically as possible]
