What if you were only a number? That is all the boy with the aqua eyes has ever been. A string of numbers marked on his wrist, ending in 117. He's not treated like a boy. He is a product worth killing for. A weapon designed in a secret laboratory. An asset with an ability people would kill to control. He is 6,221 days old and has never seen the outside world. He has no understanding of family. No concept of home. No identity beyond the number burned into his skin. That all changes the day Riven Thatcher is hired to break into a top-secret laboratory and steal files from a man rich enough to own the law and corrupt enough to make Riven feel downright charitable. Riven Thatcher is not a man you want to cross. He is sharp-tongued, disciplined, and dangerous enough that testing him once is usually where people run out of chances. Stealing from the wealthy and corrupt is what he does best. They hire people to keep thieves out. Riven is the one hired to get in. Get out. And vanish without a trace. He lives by two rules: never trust anyone, and never get attached. Then he comes face to face with a barefoot seventeen-year-old boy in white lab clothes, a barcode on his arm, and aqua eyes so vivid they make him impossible to hide. Riven has no intention of taking him. But the boy has other ideas. With a single touch, Subject 117 plants one thought inside Riven's mind. Take me with you. By the time Riven escapes, he has no idea why he brought the boy along. He only knows he has just stolen something far more dangerous than files, and far more valuable than money. Now Riven is at the center of a deadly chase, hunted by people who will do anything to get their weapon back. And as the mystery surrounding Subject 117 begins to unravel, Riven starts to realize the boy he never meant to save may be changing him just as much as Riven is changing him. Because Riven has spent his life believing he is better alone. But the boy with no name may teach him that family is not a

For nine years, they took everything. His name, his language, his family, his choices. The way he slept. The way he ate. The things he was allowed to want. They made him precise. Obedient. Useful. They almost made him forget he was ever anything else. Almost. Check TW's 1 in #Overprotectivesiblings 1 in #Fractured 2 in #Babybrother

For years, Luka believed his brothers were the reason his life always felt one wrong move away from blowing up. They were the danger. The threat. The shadow hanging over him. Then the secrets start spilling out, and the story flips. His brothers aren't the disaster he's been bracing for. They're the ones trying to keep it from swallowing him whole. The same men he's spent years fearing are suddenly the ones stepping in front of the worst of it, making choices that could cost them their lives just to keep him standing. It messes with Luka's head, because monsters aren't supposed to protect you. Trust doesn't come easy, but neither does survival. Somewhere between the lies, the secrets, and the close calls, Luka stops just trusting them. He starts counting on them. And in the process, he learns something that scares him almost as much as the truth about his family: He's more capable than he ever let himself believe. Love to hear from all the readers so please leave a comment. :) MxF relationships and family focused

Luca Accardi was dragged away from his older brothers and his father when he was just 18 months old. His mother, the culprit, disappeared shortly after moving Luca in with her new man, Frank. Luca spent the next seven years keeping himself alive. When Frank is killed in a nationally televised hostage situation, Luca's brothers come knocking, much to his chagrin. They have their own problems, however, still picking up the pieces their mother left behind. The brothers now have to put aside their deep-rooted differences to care for the one who needs them the most. They say it takes a village... but will the brothers be able to heal before the village collapses?

For years, Kaden and West have survived on their own. No safety net. No home. No family to fall back on. Only the constant fight for money, shelter, and the right to exist. They were torn away once-lost in the chaos of a night no one talks about. Now, fate is pulling them back to the family they were never meant to find again. But broken pieces don't always fit back together the way they once did. Reunion promises hope, healing, and the chance to finally belong. Yet old wounds run deep, and the brothers they return to are no longer the boys they remember. Trust is fragile. Loyalty is tested. And forgiveness comes at a cost. Because while the family struggles to rebuild, something dark is watching. Waiting. Kaden and West's return has awakened an enemy who would rather see the family shattered than whole. Is a happy reunion even possible after everything that was lost? Or will the brothers be forced to face a new trial-one that could destroy them all? Some pieces were never meant to come back. And some truths are more dangerous than being broken.

One house. Four brothers. Too much noise, not enough space, and a whole lot of unexpected. Somewhere between the yelling, the quiet, and the chaos-they might actually become a family.
