Annaliese always craved a family. She desired a warm father, caring brothers, a loving mother and adoring sisters. Maybe even a dog or a cat. But, they were desired for a reason. She never had a family to call her own, not since she was abandoned on the side of the road when she was 5. Imagine her surprise when one day, a man tailored in a thousand dollar suit, picks her up and declares her his long lost daughter. Then, not only is she being recognized by a father figure, but she also has 5 older brothers to look after her? While learning to adjust to the modern world, Annaliese has to go through highschool, the overprotection of her family and the dark secrets they all seem so desperate to hide. Join her as she struggles, laughs, cries and cringes. Join her family as they go through ups and downs and test their bonds. Join the realm of "Hearth" and find a comfort within it. cover be @loverryna

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.

Oh they do not like each other. Abby thinks Liam is an asshole, and she really hates it when she finds out he works at her brothers tattooshop...
