Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

Tirzah Beaupré has known three things for certain: one, that her mother protected her from her father and his empire by taking her away from it. The empire, she always said, was doomed to destroy itself. And it would take her father and brothers with it when it fell. Two, that she is a self-serving snitch that trades in secrets- though she prefers to think truth teller rather than snitch. After her mother died, there was a plan in place for her. St. Sylvans. A private boarding school that doubled as foster care, which prided itself on it's exemplary education and ability to find only forever homes for its students. On the outside, it was beautiful. Surrounded by towering green forest, sunlight always visible through the trees. But inside, Tirzah learned quickly that it was survival of the fittest- or the smartest, and now that, she was. What benefits her, benefits her, and she has never cared what happens to people as a result of that. After all, if they are dumb enough to tell their secrets, or not cover them up well enough, it's all fair game. It has to be. Three, that she and Cole De'Ath are the only ones that know about the body buried deep in the words. She isn't remorseful- and she will never be. That act has been her most selfless yet. She likes to think that no flowers have bloomed over it for a reason- that the earth has swallowed it whole, like it should have done long before she and Cole had to put it there. Only one of those three things is not really a certainty. That her mother protected her from her father and his doomed empire. At least, not well enough. The Beaupré's have been searching for years, and now, Tirzah must return to everything and everyone her mother warned her about. There is one positive: Cole found his forever home in Briar Ridge, Canada- and that's where she is going. Or, only just now returning. She'll see him again. But she soon realizes that the Beaupré name is a curse. A bigger secret than she knows how to handle- for no

He thought he was saving her. He was handing her to the wolves. Ten years ago, the eldest Sokolov brother made a desperate choice to protect his baby sister from the bloodbath of a mafia war. He paid her mother a fortune to take her far away and keep her safe, believing that a mother would do everything for their child. It was a secret he kept from his five brothers-a promise of protection that was supposed to be her salvation. But the money wasn't enough to buy a mother's love. Instead of safety, their sister was sold to the highest bidder-discarded into an abusive household where she spent a decade surviving a nightmare her brothers never knew existed. Now, ten years later, the truth has surfaced, and the girl they traded away has been found. She isn't the innocent child they remember. She is a hollowed-out survivor who looks at her brothers not as heroes, but as the men who paid for her disappearance. The Sokolov circle is finally whole again, but as the six brothers move to burn the world down for what was done to her, they must face the most brutal truth of all: The seventh scar was carved by their own hands.

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.

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?

Boston's police force belongs to the Price family and in turn, so does the city itself. A blue-blooded legacy built on generations of law enforcement, the Price's have evolved beyond old school policework, becoming something sharper. More efficient. Revered and feared in equal measure, their influence bleeds through Boston's falling crime rates and the silence that settles over anyone reckless enough to cross them. At the head of the Major Crimes Task Force, Chief Elijah Price's four sons each have their role to play. Together, they keep the city in line-by any means necessary. Excessive force, corruption, and unanswered questions are quietly buried beneath commendations, closed cases, and carefully controlled statistics. They are the face of justice. But every house is haunted by something, and no one is untouchable. While her brothers chase killers and conspiracies through the streets, Mazie "Maze" Price studies the dead, convinced there are things the living refuse to see. Her intuition has always been impossible to ignore-the reason her brothers are still alive, whether they admit it or not. Lately, it has begun to shift. Something is wrong in the city. A pressure beneath the surface. An imbalance she cannot name. And for the first time, her brothers are noticing it too. Old certainties begin to fracture. Patterns stop aligning. And the sense that Boston's violence has been quietly growing in places even the Prices cannot control becomes impossible to ignore. Because there is a leak inside the House of Price. And by the time they realize who has been planted and what has been taken, it may already be too late to stop what has been set in motion and save their lives and love.
