No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?

I was swift in tackling my molesters, but was no match to their large structure in this vacant street, in this middle of the night. I started running and saw a car approaching me. I smiled and waved at it, but my running feet stopped when I recognized the same old blue Jaguar. The first man growled, "You bitch. I am gonna show you the worst night of your lifetime." "Do anything you want, but please take me with you!" I cried desperately. "You want us to take you?" The second man spoke in disbelief. "Yes! Do whatever you want with me but please protect me from-" I turned speechless in terror. "What's up with those big guys and that tall man who looks like a mere boy? Who is that man you are running away from?" The first man asked curiously. I controlled my tears, "He... he is my older brother."

Hell is bound to lose when the paths of Zane and Logan along with their siblings cross. Will it reunite the families or shatter them even more?
