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?

Isabella's life has been anything but easy. At 14, she's already endured more than most. Her mother and her mother's boyfriend, Jack, were both controlling and abusive, leaving Isa to navigate the scars of their manipulation. Her mother always told her that her father abandoned them, and she never mentioned anything about brothers. Isa has lived believing she was truly alone. But everything changes when her mother and Jack are arrested, leaving her without a guardian. With nowhere else to turn, Isabella is sent across the country from Chicago to Los Angeles to live with nine brothers she never knew existed. Struggling with the trauma of her past and the lies she's been fed, Isa finds herself thrust into a new life with strangers she's supposed to call family. What she doesn't know is that these brothers are far from ordinary. They are not just successful men-they are the leaders of a powerful mafia empire, operating in the shadows of the city. Every brother has secrets of their one, as they have a hard time trusting anyone out of the family.

Being in a group home wasn't ideal for anyone, but for the six teenagers, it was the best they could get out of the crappy system. In other's eyes, it was an odd way to form a friend group bonding over being in the same abusive home. But in their eyes, the world had brought them together, they were each other's lifesavers ever since they all came together at fourteen Now sixteen their lives are harder than ever. With their caretakers' hits being more frequent and harder, the bills piling up, and the emotional toll of living in that environment, they were all on edge--especially Walker, the group's honorary leader. One day it was just them and the next a new addition is added to their friend group. Leo Ricci, the heir of a business empire. He switched schools due to the relentless bullying at his others. Leo is thrilled to be joining a group, to be a part of something finally. But his new friends have a secret, and once he finds out, he's determined to get them out of the toxic environment they were put in.

In a nasty divorce, somehow Clailea's druggie mother won custody over her 3 year old daughter. Clailea doesn't think it's all that bad, she likes books, and Frank Sinatra on her old vinyl player. She also likes the rain. She loves the rain. Now, 6 years later, utterly broken and abused, Clailea is returning home. Much like her silly nickname her brothers had gifted her, her life had seemed to be in puddles. Her 7 brothers.
