Sophie is the youngest with two older brothers who annoy her beyond belief, the worst thing would be having more... Her mother unexpectedly gets married and now she has a new step dad and step brothers. What secrets do they hold? Will they all be a family? Is love enough to withstand all the secrets and lies?

(Book One) Athena Genova D'Angelo knows how to survive. By day, she waits tables. By night, she makes real money underground-bare-knuckle fights, illegal street races, anything to keep the lights on and the past buried. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not family. But everything changes the night a group of powerful strangers walks into the restaurant. Dark suits. Sharp eyes. Dangerous energy. And one undeniable truth: They're mafia. And they just might be her blood. Athena's about to find out that the past doesn't stay buried for long, and neither do secrets.

In a family shaped by shadows, her light might be their only hope - or their greatest weakness. When Elara's mother marries into the infamous Calviero family, her world changes overnight. At just fifteen, she's thrust into a dangerous realm ruled by her stepfather and seven lethal stepbrothers, each with a fierce role in the mafia empire. Elara stands out - not just for her striking platinum hair and mesmerizing heterochromia, but for her compassionate heart and unwavering strength. A talented figure skater, she moves with grace on the ice but must learn to navigate a far more perilous stage at home. Her brothers are wary at first - hardened by years of violence and betrayal - but slowly, their fierce loyalty begins to extend to her. As old rivalries reignite and hidden threats emerge, Elara must confront the darkness lurking not only within her family but also within herself. And when whispers of a long-buried secret begin to surface, everything Elara thought she knew about her past - and her future - comes into question. In a world where trust means the difference between life and death, Elara's kindness is both her greatest strength and her most dangerous vulnerability. The question is: can she survive this world without losing who she truly is?
