OLD VERSION GOT TAKEN DOWN!! Amara De Luca had been on the cruel earth for eleven years, and had been in a human trafficking rink for nine of them. She tried to escape, but she wasn't smart or strong enough. She thinks all hope is lost, and this is the life she's destined for when she's suddenly saved by the family she never knew she had. But it won't be easy for her to revert back into a normal setting, when she doesn't really remember being in one in the first place. She's haunted, bruised and broken. But can the De Luca family change that? Will they be able to turn her back into the smiley little girl she used to be? Most importantly: can they help her learn to trust them and requite the love they have for her?

In a family shaped by shadows, her light might be their only hope - or their greatest weakness. When Elara's mother marries into the infamous Calviero family, her world changes overnight. At just fifteen, she's thrust into a dangerous realm ruled by her stepfather and seven lethal stepbrothers, each with a fierce role in the mafia empire. Elara stands out - not just for her striking platinum hair and mesmerizing heterochromia, but for her compassionate heart and unwavering strength. A talented figure skater, she moves with grace on the ice but must learn to navigate a far more perilous stage at home. Her brothers are wary at first - hardened by years of violence and betrayal - but slowly, their fierce loyalty begins to extend to her. As old rivalries reignite and hidden threats emerge, Elara must confront the darkness lurking not only within her family but also within herself. And when whispers of a long-buried secret begin to surface, everything Elara thought she knew about her past - and her future - comes into question. In a world where trust means the difference between life and death, Elara's kindness is both her greatest strength and her most dangerous vulnerability. The question is: can she survive this world without losing who she truly is?

After years of abuse her abusers suddenly die. Now her and her little brother is ripped away from the only world they have known, regardless of how shitty it may have been, and into a new and unknown world where she suddenly has to juggle not only a new father she had always thoughts wanted nothing to do with her before his death, but also six older brooding brothers. Her father is a cold man and most of her brothers are temperamental at best. Always moody and hard to get a read on. Only a few have shown her kindness where they rest either ignore her, are cold and short or downright rude and mean which makes it hard to Alexia to trust any of them. She already has major trust issues - her little brother being the only one she has ever been able to trust. But he is bonding with their new family and Alexia feels more alone than ever. Will Alexia's family gain her trust? Will she find a place among the huge Romano family? What will happen when people the family trusts betray them? Will Alexia be okay?

Whisked away to New York, she finds herself in a palace of cold steel and burning loyalty, under the protection of five ruthless brothers who rule a criminal empire. She was born in silence.

Genevieve Anderson, the girl that had been left behind and forgotten. In a town where everybody knows everybody, meaning that no one goes unnoticed. Nobody just grabs a bag and leaves in the middle of the night, without someone seeing something. Nobody changes identity over night, and is suddenly left with the care of their father in her hands. Forgotten over night, Genevieve changes the person that everyone thought they knew. Gone was the girl that would smile and wave to everyone, was replaced by a girl that had a need for stealing and getting by every day. She had been left with the responsibility of an old ranch that was no longer in operation and the care of her father, who had been to war, and was suffering from additions like there was no tomorrow. Gone was the girl that depended on her big brothers to open the gate, replaced with a girl that worked long hours at the ranch, before she was sneaking out after midnight, to drive whatever cars her brothers had left behind. Except, one day, something happens and everything takes a turn for the worse. "I left you here, for 20 minuets, and you have already let him relapse?! I trusted you, for a second, and you backstabbed me?! I can't believe any of you anymore, because you are made of lies!" Holding on by a string, Genevieve isn't sure how much more she can take, especially when people appear from the past she thought she left behind, when she was 5 years old. Time moves on for a reason, doesn't it? "I told you to forget about it. It's in the past, and nobody has ever asked me to do what you are asking me to do. You are asking me to put away my boots and hat, and stand in front of people in heels and a puffy dress. That's not who I am, if you had stuck around to find out who I really am.
