Brooke Routledge has always been told to act upon risk. She regrets it all. The love, the vulnerability, the true form that she provided to him. It wasn't worth it, and the cruelest part was the act of throwing it back into her face. She doesn't think he ever loved her. How could you? It runs so much deeper than that. Neither of them knew what they were doing, how they were feeling, and how to fix it all-though, under everything, they wanted to fix it. Risk. It's what destroyed Brooke Routledge. But in a strange way, she wondered, could risk be what saves her? OBX ␥ Rafe Cameron & JJ Maybank © elegancies

For over a century, the Valenti Mafia has produced only sons. Generation after generation, the powerful family expanded its empire through ruthless leaders, feared heirs, and dangerous men whose names alone commanded respect throughout the underworld. Then, after decades of waiting, a daughter was finally born. Aria Valenti. The youngest child of the Valenti family and the only girl among eight older brothers. To the outside world, she is the family's greatest treasure. To Aria, she is simply a frightened eleven-year-old girl living in a mansion full of men she barely knows. Her brothers are feared throughout the country-mafia bosses, strategists, enforcers, and heirs to a criminal empire. They are not warm. They are not gentle. They do not know how to comfort a child. And Aria is terrified of every single one of them. Having spent most of her life surrounded by nannies, tutors, and distant relatives while her brothers managed the family empire, Aria has grown up believing she is little more than an obligation. She keeps to herself, never asks for anything, and tries her best not to be a burden. But when a small accident reveals just how isolated and vulnerable she truly is, her brothers begin to notice the little sister they have overlooked for years. What starts as concern soon becomes something far more dangerous. Because someone is watching Aria. Someone inside the mafia world is searching for her. And buried within the Valenti family's history lies a secret connected to the last daughter of the bloodline-a secret powerful enough to threaten the empire itself. As enemies close in and old family secrets come to light, Aria finds herself caught between fear and trust, surrounded by eight intimidating brothers who may not know how to express affection-but who would destroy anyone who dares to hurt the only daughter of House Valenti. In a family built on power, loyalty, and blood, one small girl may become the most important Valenti of them all.

❝ Don't look at me like that. You have no idea what it's like to want someone so badly it feels like you're going insane.

And Merlin, I loved that about her. Rose didn't need somebody, and maybe that's exactly why I wanted to spend the rest of my life trying to anyway. - If you tell me to stop, I stop. If you ask for silence, I will make the world quiet. If you ask for pain to end, I will take it on and hide it under my skin.

Born into one of the most dangerous mafia families in the world, she should've been feared like the rest of them. like what do you mean by allergic to safety???!!!
