Evienne's life was never her own. From the moment she was born, her mother's obsession with her perfection and her father's hunger for power meant she was destined to be nothing more than a pawn in their game. Sent to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps, Evienne was raised by nuns and priests who taught her that her purpose was to serve men, be pure, respect the faith and eventually marry a man who would ensure her family's continued dominace. Her future was planned-perfected-until tragedy struck. When her parents die unexpectedly, Evienne is pulled from the only life she's ever known and sent to live with her biological family. But her new life is nothing like the one she was trained for. Her six brothers, rough, vulgar, and unapologetically wild, have been searching for her for years. They don't live by rules - they are loud, messy, brash, and live for the moment, utterly opposite to everything she was taught to respect and fear. Evienne must now navigate the chaos of her brothers' world: a world where cursing, and a total disregard for authority are the norm. The brothers who love her unconditionally are nothing like the controlled, quiet life she once had. As they help her heal from the years of manipulation and oppression, Evienne is forced to confront the truth about herself and her past. But can she find a way to balance the strict, submissive girl she was raised to be with the bold, rebellious woman she's becoming in the arms of the brothers who love her - in ways she never thought possible?
