*** edited version available on amazon, free with kindle unlimited**** 16-Year-Old Lydia Tonelli's biggest nightmare has come true. Her six, overbearing, overprotective, and borderline crazy (in her humble opinion) brothers, have found out about her not-so-secret boyfriend, her best friend has been secretly hooking up with her brother, and to top it all off, her three cousins from Italy have moved in and joined the brotherhood of making Lydia's life hard. Damon Rodriguez has been the perfect boyfriend, and what seems like her only ally, but now she has to decide if she should stay with him and follow her happiness, or break up with him and obey her family's rules. A series of unfortunate events leaves her in the hospital, her brothers in jail, and perhaps the deadliest event- a family dinner with Damon. A tragic turn of events means Lydia is going to leave home for a while, leaving everyone reeling. She finally breathes fresh air without her brothers around- or so she thinks. The rift between Felix and her father is growing more apparent by the day and she finally finds out why. A revelation from Felix brings Lydia home where she makes her final decision. Loyalty to her family, or her own happiness.

Here's a bombshell for you: I have eight brothers. Eight extremely attractive, smart, mischievous, crazy overprotective brothers. Well, step brothers. Trust me when I say that it didn't start out that way, with me having eight step brothers. My father got remarried when I was sixteen. Another bombshell for you: I had no clue that the marriage was happening until about three months before, and I only found out because we were moving from Texas to New York in a week. Yeah, my father wasn't huge on the whole 'sharing' thing. But, that's not what you opened up this book to read, now is it? Well, I should probably start telling you the legitimate start of the story. (Heads up here, guys. This book is about abuse and will have occasional swearing in it. Okay, that's my warning. Have a nice day!)

When life gives you lemons, throw it back and demand chocolate. '"Sweet baby Satan!" I screamed, accidentally gaining the attention of the murderers. Act natural, Arya. "Did you just shoot them?!" I mentally face-palmed. So much for acting natural, "Why did you do that? Holy cheese balls that's a lot of blood." I swallowed, willing my legs to do something goddammit. But they refused to cooperate. ' Arya McKenzie is a bright seventeen year old with a knack of getting into trouble. Her only friend is her younger brother. One day, Arya was walking home- completely soaked- when she decides to take a shortcut through an alleyway. Bad idea. She sees five scary boys kill three other slightly-less-scary men. Instead of running away or screaming like a normal person, she begins to ramble to said five scary boys. Instead of letting her go, however, they kidnap her. Rude. Join Arya as she navigates through a world of skittles, llamas and finding help in the most unexpected places. "I know I'm gorgeous but no need to stare. If you want an autograph, just ask."

✨COMPLETED✨ I took a few steps before I stopped to face him again. "Jay?" I said, barely above a whisper. "Hmm?" "I love you. You know that right?" I asked, kind of unsure. "of course. Of course I do." He said, scrunching his eyebrows as if he doesn't understand why I would randomly say that. "I love you very much." I repeated, every bone in my body aching from this pain, this betrayal. What I'm doing, or going to do, is definitely some form of betrayal. But I don't have a choice, right? He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?" I replied, praying to dear God he doesn't say something that'll make me cry. "Like you're saying goodbye." 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Alexis Pierce is just another high school clumsy story.
