The Kingston's were always more than a family. They were a dynasty-ruling New York from the shadows, with power flowing through their veins for generations. Nothing happened in their city without their knowledge or control. It was a legacy of power, loyalty, and secrets, passed down without question. Now, Reese Kingston, the only child of the infamous Vaughn Kingston, is drowning under the crushing weight of the city's expectations. She was born to inherit it all-but can she live up to the impossible standards that shaped the Kingston empire? When long-lost relatives resurface, bringing promises of unity, Reese sees her chance to prove she's not just an heir, but the rightful successor to the Kingston throne. But beneath the surface of this reunion lies a web of buried secrets and bitter betrayals. The Kingston legacy is not what it seems-and Reese is about to discover that power, once fractured, is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Now, she must decide: will she restore the family's iron grip on New York, or will its hidden past destroy everything she's ever known?

No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?
