𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝... 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫. Valentina Santos never expected her life to shatter overnight. After her parents sudden marriage into the famous De Luca dynasty, Valentina is dragged into a world dripping in power, danger, and blood-soaked secrets. Overnight, she gains five stepbrothers-heirs to an empire built in the shadows. Beautiful. Untouchable. Deadly. And they hate her. To them, Valentina isn't family. She's a mistake. A weakness. An outsider who's seen too much. Because the De Lucas don't just run the city-they own it. Every alley, every deal, every whispered fear traces back to them. Loyalty is law. Betrayal is fatal. And trust? It doesn't exist. Now trapped inside a mansion that feels more like a prison, surrounded by enemies who call themselves family, Valentina must learn their rules fast. Speak carefully. Watch everything. Never show fear. Because in this family, love is a weapon... and survival is never guaranteed. The question is-will Valentina become strong enough to survive them... ...or will she be the next one they destroy? ╰── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──╯ 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥. 🖤

Two families merged due to their parent's lifelong friendships, these seven boys are like brothers to each other and they find out they are all half-brothers to their three-year-old little sister. This little girl is dropped off on their doorstep by her unstable mom, and left to I've with her bubbas. *NOTE: I've had this storyline in my head for a couple of years and over time I've made little memos for when I finally get the time to write it, so here it is... this is also the first book I've written with the thoughts of publishing so be kind, but I do love some critiques if you have them. I have read a couple of stories that have little sisters living with their big brothers, but this is in no way a copy of them at all, I've actually written this because I couldn't find a story with the storyline I was looking for.* Also, I don't own any of the pictures, just found them online :)

BROKEN PRODIGY I Following the passing of their mother, the now orphaned Di Genova siblings found themselves slowly unravelling. With a distrusting mafia empire to run and personal heartbreak to mend, all attention to the youngest Di Genova disappeared leaving the distraught six-year-old to fend for herself. After two long years of unexplained cold shoulders, cruel dismissals and general abandonment from her siblings, child prodigy Dakoda Reese Di Genova finally reached her breaking point. At the tender age of eight, she made the difficult decision to leave behind her family and Italian roots, embarking on a new journey not as the Dakoda her family knew but as the Reese they did not. Fast forward a decade, Reese had cemented her place in history. As the anonymous CEO of the biggest technology company in the world and sole Heir to the American mafia empire, she had buried the past in the same grave she had buried her heartbreak. She had moved on. Her four brothers hadn't. And it was going to take a lot more than them spewing out the same apologies she too had once offered, in order for her to forgive their everlasting betrayal.
