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.

She was only four years old when she was stolen. The only daughter. The youngest child. The little princess of the most dangerous Italian mafia family in the world. For twelve years, the De Luca family searched for her. Her father never stopped waiting. Her mother never stopped hoping. And her six brothers never stopped missing the little girl who had once been the center of their world. But Aurora De Luca grew up believing she had no one. No family. No home. No one who loved her. She doesn't remember the De Lucas. She doesn't remember the six brotherswho used to fight over her. She doesn't remember the father who called her his princess. But they remember her. What will happen when they meet her in a restaurant? What will happen when she witnesses something she was never supposed to know about the family she doesn't remember? Or..... Will another woman, who has a connection to one of her brothers, help her escape the family she believes is her own? Or will she eventually fall for a guy she should never have fallen for?

Sixteen-year-old Grace has been sculpted into perfection at an elite ballet academy, a porcelain doll who never cracks, never questions, never breaks. The Academy saved her from a home she'd rather forget, and discipline became her armor. Suddenly, like a rug pulled out from under her, Grace is faced with the six brothers who are adamant on bringing her home. Everything she'd lived, every memory of her past, was a mere lie. They claim she was stolen from them as a child. Now Grace finds herself in a mansion that's half sanctuary, half prison, with brothers who don't know whether to protect her or let her breathe. She's never wanted saving, especially not from men who watch her like she might disappear again. Especially not after she'd worked so hard to build a life for herself. They believe she's their saving grace, but maybe it was Grace who needed saving. The twisted Madden Family is full of lies and secrets, and now that Grace is home, all that was hidden is meant to be revealed.

22-Year-old Lexi Martin's life hasn't always been so good. Her life seemed perfect on the outside, wealthy parents, a smart older brother, and a big house. The reality is, her parents live across the country, her brother is never home, and being left alone in her house is her biggest fear. Luckily, growing up, her best friend Lydia Tonelli and her big Italian family were always there for her. Lydia's six overprotective brothers became Lexi's makeshift family. At 13, Lexi's fears become reality when a string of local robberies hits too close to home. Terrified and alone, she reaches out to Melvin, Lydia's older brother, and the only person who she knows will answer. Melvin always held a special place in Lexi's heart. A protector, a friend, and someone she adores deeply. The lines of their relationship blur, filled with jealousy, possessiveness, and protectiveness, especially, after the robbery. Melvin spent almost every night with Lexi to make sure she was safe. When they were 16, Lydia found out about the relationship between her best friend and her brother, creating a rift in their friendship. At 18 Lexi's only friend went away for college, and went no contact with her and the entire family. It felt like Lexi's sense of self went with her. Lexi realizes that all these years she's been reliant on Melvin for safety, guidance, and to tell her who she is. She decides to take her life into her own hands, finding her independence, and thus herself. She breaks things off with Melvin, goes to nursing school, makes new friends, and has new experiences. Lexi is drawn back into the Tonelli world when Lydia returns home, hoping to rekindle their friendship. Just as things seem to be mending, Lexi finds herself caught in the middle of a blood feud. The Tonelli 'family business' has reared its ugly head, and she and Lydia are the collateral damage. But Lexi won't accept that. Will Melvin come to her rescue? Or will she find the strength to save herself?

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?
