"P-Papa..." I stutter as I try to climb into his lap, and he immediately lifts me closer with a soft sigh, brushing my hair back while I hide my blush against his chest..... ------ Rosalia Valentini is the definition of "how is she real??" 😭🤏💖 Tiny.

Game over. 💥 Rosalia gets brought into a mansion full of six extremely intimidating mafia brothers who act like they don't have hearts... but suddenly forget how to function when she blinks at them 😭💖 Like-how are they supposed to be feared in the mafia world when their tiny sister is standing there in an oversized hoodie asking if she can "help with snacks" 🥺🍪 She's shy, soft-spoken, stutters when she's nervous, and clings to people like it's a full-time job 🤏💞 She doesn't really understand rules, mafia life, or why everyone keeps calling her "princess" like it's the most obvious fact in the world.

Daniella Florakis loved her family. Well, not her blood family. Her mother died when she was barely ten, and she never knew who her father was. Not like that mattered. Her stepfather had been the best dad she could ever ask for, and when he passed, her stepsister, Iris, stepped up. Daniella was content with her simple life. That is, until Iris suddenly runs away. No explanation, no reason known, no heads up, nothing. Heartbroken and confused, Daniella is already struggling with figuring out her next step. Things only get worse when the police call, saying someone claims to be family. All of a sudden, she's whisked off to California and put in a house with six older brothers she didn't even know existed. But, hey, why is she complaining? This new life seems to be perfect. What complaints should she have as a long-lost heiress to a multi-million dollar company? However, she can't help but feel that something is wrong. Her suspicious are proven correct when she unveils the first secret that exposes a whole new set of intricately webbed lies. It's painful. It's messy. It's risky. But she won't stop. She can't. Because what else can you do when the reality you were living turns out to be a lie?

Liminal: existing in the space between what was and what will be. Charlotte grew up thinking her four older brothers were just overprotective- hovering, smothering, always one step behind her. They raised her, loved her, and built a life meant to keep her safe. But as she's gotten older, the cracks are getting harder to ignore. Hushed arguments behind closed doors. A mother who drifts in and out of her life with shaking hands. A father she can't remember- because no one will tell her why. The rules she once accepted without question start to feel like wall, and the silence she grew up with starts to grow louder. As she pieces together fragments of her childhood that she was never meant to uncover, she realizes her brothers aren't just protecting her from the world. They're protecting her from the truth- a truth that shattered their family once, and could shatter her when she finally discovers it.

A perfect pair. A small tear. A betrayal too hurtful to spare.

For years, I loved my best friend, Liam. While he chased every beautiful girl who crossed his path, I stood quietly in the background, invisible to the one person who mattered most. Then, one drunken night, everything changed. Surrounded by our friends, Liam laughed as he declared he couldn't picture me with any man. According to him, I was so boring, so sexless, that I'd probably end up becoming a nun. Everyone laughed. I didn't. That humiliation was the final blow. I walked away from our friendship, transferred to another school, and erased Liam from my life. Years later, I've built the life I always dreamed of. I'm engaged to the man who truly sees me-Rahim-and I've finally left my feelings for Liam in the past. Until fate brings us together again. Now Liam is dating Rahim's sister, and for the first time, he's the one watching from the sidelines. The girl he never wanted has become the woman he can't stop thinking about. The only problem? He's years too late.

Jane Sinclair runs the family bookshop, lives above it in contented independence, and has spent the past year building a careful conviction: that the newly arrived village doctor - starchy and correct with everyone else - is entirely different with her, and that the difference means something. Dr. Thomas Langley likes Jane enormously. He simply hasn't worked out yet what enormously actually means. She's warm, outgoing, and likes to argue - nothing at all like the composed, correct sort of woman he's always assumed he was meant to end up with. So when a beautiful, well-connected socialite arrives in the village for the summer, looking like everything he supposedly wants, Thomas is intrigued -- and Jane begins to think she may have misjudged her handsome village doctor.

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.

Sixteen-year-old Kason Mills has never really been wanted. He's been passed around like baggage, from the mother he tried to save from her own battles with addiction and mental illness, to relatives who couldn't handle his outbursts, to group homes that labeled him "too much." When his mom dies, Kason finds himself once again without a place to land and a heart full of anger he can't seem to control. Armed with a duffel bag, a few broken memories, and a diagnosis list longer than his future looks, Kason is sent to live with his mom's identical sister, who can't stand who he looks like, and cousins who wish he'd stayed gone. Between his ADHD, impulsivity, and defiance, Kason's never been the kid anyone chooses to keep. But maybe ... just maybe...there's still room in the world for someone like him and allows him to believe he is still worth love, even if he feels broken..

Bailey is 14 and has endured a life of severe abuse, neglect, and trauma. He remembers bits and pieces. A house with soft blankets. A lady who smiled a lot. A boy who let him play with him. He remembers the way his dad used to hold him, like he mattered. But that was a long time ago. People leave. That's what they do. Bailey has always felt disconnected from the world, being Autistic and needing stability is something he once had and needs again. Caspian Elwood, a successful actor with a thriving career and a loving family, thought he had his life figured out. Married to his wife Lauren for twelve years, they've built a beautiful home with their two children, Finn, 14, and Eden, 8. But when a late-night call from a social worker shakes the foundation of his world, Caspian is faced with a devastating truth: his son Bailey, the one he's been supporting from a distance, has been neglected, possibly for years. Because maybe this time, someone came back. Will this make or break the family, or will this be the piece they were missing?

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?
