For ten years, Evan and Ellie were gone. Taken when they were small children, they became the faces on missing-person posters, the names whispered at family gatherings, and the heartbreak their brothers never stopped carrying. Everyone assumed the worst. Then they came home. Sixteen-year-old Evan and twelve-year-old Ellie are finally rescued and returned to the family that never gave up searching for them. Their older brothers welcome them back with open arms, determined to help them rebuild the life that was stolen from them. But coming home isn't as simple as everyone hoped. Ellie hasn't spoken in years. No one knows why. She communicates through glances, notes, and the protective hand she keeps wrapped around Evan's sleeve whenever fear creeps too close. Evan insists they're fine. They're safe now. Everything is okay. Except it isn't. Behind closed doors, the siblings hide the truth about the decade they spent missing. The nightmares, the panic, the strange rules they still follow, and the scars no one is supposed to see. Evan is determined to protect Ellie from any more pain, even if it means carrying their secrets alone. Ellie, unable to speak, struggles to find a way to tell the people who love them what really happened. As their brothers work to reconnect with the children they lost, cracks begin to form in the carefully built walls Evan and Ellie have created around themselves. The harder they try to pretend everything is normal, the more impossible it becomes to hide the damage left behind. Because being rescued was only the beginning. Coming home means learning to trust again. And sometimes the hardest part of surviving is letting yourself be saved. What the Darkness Couldn't Take is an emotional story about family, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between siblings who refuse to leave each other behind-even after ten years lost in the dark.

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.

Solienne (n.) - a name evoking sunlight after ruin; the quiet resilience of something lost, yet still burning. Isabella Moretti was kidnapped when she was three years old. She doesn't remember the brothers who loved her. And they don't know the girl she's become. Living under a new name in a quiet city, Isabella is a survivor-sharp-eyed, secretive, and always prepared to run. But when she transfers to a prestigious academy, two of the school's most feared students take notice: Antonio and Francesco Moretti. Cold, calculating, untouchable-until now. They don't know why they're drawn to her. Why she feels like something familiar. Why their guarded silence begins to crack around her laugh, her pain, her presence. They have no idea she's the sister they've mourned for years. And Isabella? She has no idea she's walking straight back into the family that never stopped searching. Solienne is a story of blood that remembers, even when memory doesn't-of lost things finding their way home, and love that endures even when the truth is buried in silence.

The Orsini family was once a proud and respected Italian mafia family that came from an ancient noble lineage. They were the family who had it all: a loving family man for a father, a kind and doting mother, two sons, and baby triplets (two boys and a girl). That all changed when the patriarch and Don of the Orisini family suddenly died. The sixteen-year-old eldest son was forced to step up and take on the role of his late father; he was young and unprepared, and their family's enemies took advantage of this. They set up an ambush to kill the remaining Orsinis, but only the mother died of the ambush. The six Orsini children survived, but much to their horror, two of the triplets disappeared the day of the ambush (the older triplet and the youngest), leaving no traces or bodies. Twelve years later, The once mighty Orisini family only consists now of three brothers, and they were forced to relocate to a city in Canada, where they are now trying to rebuild everything they lost and finding their lost brother and sister. What happened to their missing brother and sister? Will they ever find them again? What happens if they do? Will they remain to be the brother and sister they once remembered?

A single night shattered their family, leaving only wreckage in its wake. Two brothers vanished, their mother and sisters send away, their empire shaken. Now, those who remain must fight to survive in the wreckage. Jordan and Dean have embraced the mafia, believing that power is the only way to keep what's left of their family safe. The stronger they become, the less anyone can take from them again. Wyatt, restless and defiant, refuses to be just another soldier in their war. He wants answers-about the past, about the brothers they lost, about the truth no one will say out loud. And then there's Luke, the youngest, trapped in a world he never chose. While his brothers fight to hold on, he dreams of a way out. Bound by blood, divided by choices, each brother fights his own battle. But in a world built on power, betrayal, and violence, one truth remains: the past never stays buried. And if they don't find a way to stand together, what little they have left may be lost forever.
