Evelyn Miller has seventeen years of memories and a life she never questioned. Until a passport application proves that none of it is legally hers. Forced to leave England and move to Italy, Evelyn finds herself living with the Romero family-the strangers who have spent seventeen years searching for the daughter they lost. But finding her is easier than becoming a family. She thinks they're overbearing. They think she's reckless. She sees privilege where they see normalcy. They see distance where she sees self-preservation. Determined to leave for university the moment she turns eighteen, Evelyn refuses to grow attached. Yet somewhere between awkward dinners, fierce arguments, quiet acts of love, and four brothers who have no idea how to be siblings to a girl they've never known, the home she never wanted begins to feel like the one she might not want to leave. A story about family, grief, second chances, and discovering that sometimes the hardest place to belong... is the place you were always meant to call home.

Now placed in a whole new city, in a literal mansion, with seven older boys who are complete strangers to her, she learns to navigate life and unlearns the life she once lived. Secrets only stay hidden for long especially when she becomes the centre of her biological brothers' lives. She stopped talking when everyone stopped listening, but now with 7 sets of ears there's only so much that gets past them. Would they be able to save their little sister before the world swallows her whole? Would they hear her cries? Would they listen?

❝I think we've lost the meaning of family.❞ • • • A few years ago, we tragically lost our parents, and every day since then, my brothers and I have drifted apart. We have intense defense mechanisms and our own methods of survival in the adult world. Our house feels less like home, the city feels empty, and the stars seem more distant. Will we be able to heal as a family? Or will we go our separate ways as adults? ▫▫▫▫ ▫▫▫▫ ▫▫▫▫ Cover is made by me.

| BACK FOR GOOD | ------ Life wasn't easy for little Remi. Going through struggles not even adults should endure. But after a selfless act from her mother, she's finally safe but she still has a long road to being a normal kid again. The Moratti brothers.

Now they all have to adjust to the new change and the challenges that come with it.

She's a genius with a past too heavy to name. He's a mafia heir built from shadows and silence. Thrown together by legacy, forced into alliance by danger- they were never meant to fall in love. But when family secrets resurface and enemies close in, Amara and Alexander will have to choose: protect the walls they've built, or risk everything to tear them down-for each other.

In a world woven with power, passion, and peril, the Valmont family reigns-hidden behind a legacy draped in mystery and silk. Eloise Calista Valmont, the sole daughter of a dynasty shrouded in secrets, has spent her life protecting the family she loves-guarding her youngest sister Elara, shielding them both from a past that nearly tore them apart. After years of silence and separation, the echoes of old enemies resurface, threatening everything Eloise has fought to build. As loyalties are tested and hidden truths unravel, Eloise must navigate a delicate dance of reconciliation with her brothers, embrace a powerful legacy she barely understands, and face a love as fierce and unyielding as her own. Bound by blood, loyalty, and the silk threads of a family's secret history, Eloise and Elara stand on the edge of a new dawn-where courage will be their shield, and love the ultimate heirloom.
