Fawn, the quiet assistant of the Duke, accompanies him during a trade visit to Castle Dimitrescu. Small, polite, and visibly vulnerable especially with her paralyzed arm she immediately catches the attention of Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters. At first, the daughters treat the girl as little more than entertainment, testing her obedience, patience, and composure. They expect fear, resistance, or defiance but Fawn gives none. Instead, she responds with quiet respect and unwavering politeness, even when frightened. Lady Dimitrescu watches carefully. Beneath the girl's calm demeanor she senses something deeper: trauma, discipline, and a strange fragility that refuses to break. As the Duke's visits continue, Fawn spends more time inside the castle. Slowly, the daughters' curiosity turns into protectiveness, though they would never admit it aloud.

💯 completed Gxg agegap Mommy issues #smut mdlg She built her life on control, grace, and quiet success. Then everything she trusted began to shift. When Imara Moreau's marriage ends in betrayal, she refuses to unravel. Instead, she leans into what has always steadied her...her boutique, her discipline, and the young woman who has stood faithfully at her side for years. Maeve was once her assistant. Now she is her constant. Her protector. Her secret plan. What begins as a harmless public performance soon blurs into something deeper: a bond shaped by years of care, devotion, and unspoken need. As Imara's past collides with her present, she must decide what kind of connection she is willing to claim and what kind of life she is ready to choose.

Tatum's life growing up was horrid, disgusting, pathetic, and whatever word you could possibly use to describe how crappy it was. From being separated from her parents because of an argument with her mother's parents (a story for another day), to being abused nearly every day, she rarely ever caught a break. She tried, like really tried, to forgive and forget. To love and care as how she was expected to, but her mind poisoned her with vicious thoughts. She couldn't tell her parents anything for the fear of being a disappointment. Not that she'd ever say that out loud. Now at 17, her life being somewhat more manageable, everything goes, once again, down the drain. Turns out she isn't her parents' biological daughter. Sounds great right? Nope. Now she's stuck trying to sort through her memories, to see which are lies and which are true. She should be happy that she's getting a fresh start, but some part of her is afraid that she isn't good enough for the people who claim to be her real family. From misery and pain, to love and care. It's all too confusing for someone who was trained to believe that everything happens for a reason. Because what could possibly be the reason behind her messed up life?

She built her empire on control. I built my life on small moments. Somehow we met in the middle. She never believed in love. I never believed in control. Somehow, we learned both from each other. A ruthless CEO. A girl who laughs too easily. One crowded café that changes everything.

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.
