A mafia siblings book with a love interest as the two central themes. -- Katerina is a 15-year-old girl who has been abused by her mother for as long as she can remember. As time goes on, the worst years of her life seem neverending, and she can only take so much more; even with the help of a close friend, she struggles to remain true to herself. After the death of her mother and stepfather, Katie learns that she is not alone in the world, having thought for years that she had no other family other than the she-devil that called herself Kat's mother. Most surprising of all is when she learns of the brothers who had been searching for her for the past decade. -- Will Kate finally be able to overcome her dark past and love again, or will she stay cold and closed off from the world forever? Will her brothers finally be able to break down the walls that she has spent years building? Or will they push her to her limits, breaking her beyond repair? - Excerpts: Sebastiano's POV: "Sometimes I feel like my life is a lie," she mumbles, leaning her head against my shoulder. "I like to act tough, but most of the time, that act is just to hide how broken I truly am." - Katerina's POV: "It's not your job to protect me!" I exasperate, trying to pull my arm away. Instead, he grabs both of my arms firmly, yet gently, pulling me towards him. "My brothers smother me enough as it is," I grumble under my breath, tugging away from him pointlessly as his grip on my arms never falters. "I realize that it isn't my job to protect you, Katie, but I want it to be," he declared, meeting my gaze. ----------- ⚠️TW: List on Chapter 0 This is a mafia story after all...
