Jodee has been living alone with her older brother and one of his friends for most of her life. The only problem is that Ace Chambers - her brother - is one of the most feared and dangerous men in the city. Ace is rarely home from work and when he is he doesn't say much nor engage in her life. His sister, however, is the opposite - Jodee is a shy and reserved 14-year-old-girl; always wanting to be out of the spotlight that her brother's mysterious life puts on her. She gets good grades, has a small friend group, and is content with her own company. Although the Chambers siblings are polar opposites they are very close. Jodee understands Ace like no other and Ace always has Jodee and her best interest at the top of his priorities. So what happens when her quiet - but different - life is turned up-side-down? Will Ace be able to protect her and save her innocence? Can Jodee handle this change? And most of all, will their little family stick together.

+++THIS IS MY SAME STORY RECREATED. THE OTHER ONE WAS REMOVED AFTER 200K+ READS+++ (story will be in ongoing editing phase so I can get out new chapters while still trying to recreate this story) Riley Knight has never felt like she belonged anywhere. Her father never wanted her. Her stepfather has always made it clear that she isn't his daughter. And certainly not her five older half-brothers and twin from her father's side, who Riley has spent years believing would rather have nothing to do with her. So she's learned to live without them. For years, she has accepted that this is simply how her life is supposed to be. She doesn't expect anyone to choose her, protect her, or stay - least of all herself, who counts down the days until her 18th-birthday when she can break away from all of this. But as secrets are uncovered and Riley's relationship with her brothers begins to change, 15-year-old Riley is forced to question everything she thought she knew. Maybe Riley doesn't know her family as well as she thinks she does. Maybe she was never as unwanted as she believed. Or maybe the people she thought she could live without are the ones she needed all along.

Fifteen-year-old Charlotte 'Lottie' Carmen Rose Vassiliou is the youngest of the five Vassiliou siblings. She was the first girl born into the Vassiliou family in ten generations, and due to this, she was spoiled and coddled for the first five years of her life. But then, after 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩, when she was five, suddenly her life flipped upside down, and her family turned against her, sending her 1,265 miles away to a school for troubled kids. Her family had sent her away, hoping the school would 'fix' her, to make her a normal, functioning member of society, but in reality, the school had no interest in helping troubled kids; they used the position of power they held over the troubled students to abuse them, to break them. Charlotte had long ago changed, going from an innocent, loving little girl to a fifteen-year-old girl with severe trust and anger issues. So what happens when, ten years after 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩, she is suspended and forced to return home? Will her family ignore her? Will they treat her the way the staff at the school did? Read along as Charlotte navigates the messy reunion with her family, whom she hasn't spoken to in a decade.

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Solienne (n.) - a name evoking sunlight after ruin; the quiet resilience of something lost, yet still burning. Isabella Moretti was kidnapped when she was three years old. She doesn't remember the brothers who loved her. And they don't know the girl she's become. Living under a new name in a quiet city, Isabella is a survivor-sharp-eyed, secretive, and always prepared to run. But when she transfers to a prestigious academy, two of the school's most feared students take notice: Antonio and Francesco Moretti. Cold, calculating, untouchable-until now. They don't know why they're drawn to her. Why she feels like something familiar. Why their guarded silence begins to crack around her laugh, her pain, her presence. They have no idea she's the sister they've mourned for years. And Isabella? She has no idea she's walking straight back into the family that never stopped searching. Solienne is a story of blood that remembers, even when memory doesn't-of lost things finding their way home, and love that endures even when the truth is buried in silence.

She wasn't the one they took home. But she was the one they lost. One mistake. Two lives. And a truth that was never meant to be found.
