An angel given into the hands of the devil himself.

Fourteen years ago, the Vitale family lost everything when a fire took their mother and their baby sister, Isabella. Or at least, that's what they were told. While her six brothers grew up believing she was dead, Isabella survived, only to be left in an orphanage with no memories of her family and nothing but a mysterious necklace around her neck. The orphanage was a traumatic place for her, what would her brothers think when they find out all the things she has went through in there. She was only fourteen years old. She has no idea that the family she has spent her entire life wishing for is still out there, and when that necklace is finally recognized, six brothers are forced to question everything they've ever believed. Isabella was never dead. She was simply lost. And finding her might uncover secrets that were meant to stay buried. ...
