Lowly. Illegitimate. Disgraceful. Amaryllis bore the weight of whispers and stares, a child born out of debauchery. She was raised behind iron gates and velvet curtains, in a family whose name was spoken only in lowered voices. A mafia dynasty, steeped in blood and loyalty. Yet even within that empire of power, she remained a shadow in the presence of her brothers, seen but never truly known. However her heart, vast and unyielding, loved them unconditionally. But life is both fragile and cruel. When terminal illness claimed her, she carried it alone behind fragile smiles, unwilling to darken the days of those she adored. Only one wish bloomed before the end, "I hope their feelings might change, even if it's temporary." And when that time comes...

And when she is nearly lost, the Valmont brothers are forced to face the truth they've been avoiding. Emmy was never the weakest among them. She was the one holding them together

"People think silence means there's nothing inside you. But silence is where I hide everything I can't survive saying out loud." Fourteen-year-old Aluna Amari has only ever trusted one person: her father, who raised her alone after her mother abandoned her. But when he's diagnosed with cancer, Aluna is forced to move in with the mother she hasn't spoken to in years. What she doesn't expect is that her mother is engaged to Andrei Petrov-a cold, feared Russian mafia boss-and that his home comes with six ruthless sons who see Aluna as nothing but an unwanted inconvenience. A silent little "freak" their father's fiancée brought into their world. Another thing about Aluna is that she is selectively mute, trapped in a house full of danger, secrets, and people who don't want her there. And as her father's medical bills pile up, she realizes she may be the only one who can save him. The only voice she has left... is music. Because hidden behind her silence is something no one expects: Aluna is a musical prodigy-and music is the only language that's ever made her feel alive. It's her escape. Her weapon. Her prayer. And in a world ruled by violence, power, and secrets... the quietest girl in the room may be the one who changes everything.

Ignored. Sent away. Forgotten. Now he's back after almost two years from the hell they call Lockwood, all smiles and cheery expressions but under that exterior is a lone boy, crying for help he will never ask for. He was sent away to be 'fixed' but in the end, what can you do when people drive you to your tipping point? Do you bend to their will... or do you break?

Graham Coleman has never been invisible. Everyone knows his name at school, on the field, in every room he walks into. They just never really see him. Raised in a house where attention only comes when something goes wrong, Graham learned early that it's easier to act like he doesn't care than admit no one ever cared first. Neglected, controlled, and always on the outside looking in, he's spent his whole life surviving alone. Everything changes when his father is arrested for fraud, leaving Graham with nowhere to go. With no one else willing to take him in, the call goes to the only family he has left, the older half-brother he's never met. Rhys Coleman wants nothing to do with his father's new family, or the spoiled kid he assumes Graham must be. But with emancipation only three months away, he agrees to let Graham stay... temporarily. Rhys doesn't want him. Graham doesn't know how to be wanted. What starts as an obligation turns into something neither of them expected, as two brothers with completely different lives realize they never knew the truth about each other. But some damage runs deep, and some people learn to be alone so well they don't know how to stop. A story about being seen but never known, about family that comes too late, and about whether love can fix what was broken long before anyone noticed.
