A woman scarred by her past, A man on a mission to get her in his bed, And an enemy working in the shadows ready to destroy the relationship they're building. Carly Rizer: 3 years ago I left my entire life behind to escape from him. Leaving with only the clothes on my back, my little beat down '98 Toyota Corolla and $2,000 I had saved away behind the toilet. What I didn't know was that he left me with another parting gift, apart from the bruises covering my body. Except this gift, he'll kill me to get back. And I'll go down fighting to keep it safe. Jackson 'Slash' Ryder: I'm the VP to one of the largest MC's in South Australia, the Burning Knights. I'm loyal, hard working, and not someone you want to meet in a dark alley. My brothers all call me Slash, and it's not because of the scar running from my eyebrow to my chin. Growing up in the system, I learnt to defend myself. Turns out me and my blade go hand in hand. My life revolves around the club, making money, drinking and pussy. That's until I see her. Blonde hair. Blue eyes. Rosy full lips. She's tiny, probably just over 5 foot and not 50kg soaking wet. But I know instantly I want her in my bed, with that golden hair fanned around her while I'm pounding her sweet little pussy. If only I can get her to stop running away long enough to get her in my bed!

When Raegan's mom died due to alcohol poisoning, Raegan didn't expect to stay with four brothers. She never met them before until now, but they are already protective of her. Family secrets are quickly spilled and they realized something about this six year old girl- she was different and she needed healing.

*PUT ON HOLD* She was found in Phoenix: mute, dissociative, and a mystery to everyone. With no memory, no name, and no way to connect with the world around her, she exists in a fragile state between life and death. As doctors work to stabilize her, they uncover a body ravaged by neglect, but her mind remains unreachable. Now, in the care of strangers who are determined to help her, a flicker of hope emerges when she reacts to simple stimuli, showing that she might still be there, even if no one can reach her. With time, patience, and a lot of love, they'll try to pull her back from the brink. But will she ever truly wake up? And when she does, who will she be?

Elara has spent her entire life hiding in the quiet spaces between shadows. When she and her brother Caleb are sent to live with half-siblings they barely know, they must relearn what family truly means. Together, they find strength in silence, healing in unspoken bonds, and hope in the softest colours of quiet.

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. Self-harm. Death, and more.
