At twelve years old, Emmy believes rules are the only thing that keep her alive. She believes her name is Emily-a girl who learned to be quiet, obedient, and perfect in order to survive. Every mistake feels dangerous. Every rule feels necessary. But when Lucian Valmont takes custody of her, Emily becomes Emmaline, and she is placed into a world nothing like the one she escaped. The Valmont household is powerful, disciplined, and unforgiving, ruled by stern authority and shaped by seven men who do not want her there. But as tensions rise within the family, it becomes clear that Emmy's quiet presence is changing them-whether they want it to or not. And when she is nearly lost, the Valmont brothers are forced to face the truth they've been avoiding. Emmy was never the weakest among them. She was the one holding them together

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?

Back in 1991, the story of eleven siblings taking care of one another, and the family business, after their deadbeat father goes to prison. Elaine Celeste is a sweet three, almost four, year old who has been raised by her brothers since she was born. Precocious, sassy, and mischievous, she keeps each of her brothers on their toes everyday with new antics. Running a crime empire isn't easy. Especially when you're trying to raise four teenagers and a toddler. Her older brothers do their best juggling everything that's thrown at them, considering the little girl has no clue of everything her brothers do to keep a roof over their family's heads. Between a felon father who will stop at nothing to get his syndicate and children back under his control, enemies at every corner targeting everybody with the last name Ashbourne, and a combination karaoke/tea party at 4pm, it's hard to find time to take a breath. Just a normal day for oldest Ashbourne Boys, Mick and Blackie. No big deal.

Lies buried in protection. As the truth unravels, Marley must decide: protect the brothers who raised her, or confront the darkness they've tried so hard to hide.

(Previously known as The Lost) Betrayal is nothing new to the Łabanowski siblings. Neither is abandonment. So when the eldest two disappear on the triplets' tenth birthday, it really shouldn't take them by surprise. Five years later: the remaining eight are all grown up and trying to move on with their lives when, suddenly, it is announced that the family will be reuniting. No one will be welcoming the brothers home with open arms, that's for sure, but when threats become reality and lives are at stake, they will be forced to put aside their differences once and for all.
