(OC X Andrew 'Pope' Cody) Ana has known Baz since she was 15, they have been through thick and thin together and now she's a part of the Cody family. When J Cody shows up after the passing of his mother and the man she's been in love with since the moment she was introduced to the family comes home from jail, Ana's life goes from smooth sailing to chaotic. Will the man she's loved since being children finally recognise her and turn his attention away from his brother's girl? Will she be able to keep the Cody family together when they face their toughest times?

Araceli Morales built her life in the shadows-hacking, watching, protecting the Cody family from behind a screen. Control is her safety. Distance is her strength. Until Pope comes back. Fresh out of prison and more dangerous than ever, Pope brings chaos with him-unpredictable, intense, and impossible to ignore. Where others see a threat, Ari sees something different. Something familiar. Something broken. As tension builds and the family spirals deeper into danger, Ari finds herself caught between what she's always known- And what she's starting to feel. Because the closer Pope gets, the harder it becomes to keep her walls up. And when everything starts to fall apart... He might be the one thing she can't protect herself from.
