Natalie is 15 living with her abusive step father. She is having a normal day, well not normal at all but normal for her, when she finds out that he has passed away. She doesn't know how to feel, on one hand she hated her step father but on the other hand he was all she had. She goes to the station expecting the classic "we'll put you into the system" but finds out that she has 6 older brothers who have been searching for her since she was taken from them. Natalie only has one rule: Don't trust men. But how will she react when these new men in her life treat her with nothing but love, well all except for one. Will they break down her wall and see that broken teenager inside or will her years of abuse keep her isolated from her refound family. If that wasn't enough drama for her 'new life', out of nowhere she finds out there is someone watching her. She found them but he found her TW: mentions of abuse, rape, strong language. This is my first story so please be mindful and I also suck at descriptions but I would appreciate anyone who reads xx.

And she has no idea that her life is about to change forever.
