book 1 of the windows of the soul duology ✿ ✿ ✿ lucent: softly bright or radiant ✿ ✿ ✿ My brother's hand traces the cut on my right cheek for some minutes. I have no idea how a cut can be so interesting, but I won't judge a book by its cover. He unexpectedly moves and places a heartwarming kiss on my crown, brushing through the strands of my hair. But what startles me the most, is when he speaks, "Duerme bien, mi niña bonita." And just as I wasn't able to sleep hours ago because of my stupid fear, I let myself fall into a dreamless sleep as his soothing voice travels through my ears. ✿ ✿ ✿ Layla Rivera.

When she is thrown into the lion's den - or also named as her older brothers' house - she's left fearful and intimidated by the six foot three males who she never had a clue about. Trying to make sense of what her new life will bring while being unaware of the dangers her new home beholds, she tries to make her way into her new family, but it doesn't seem as easy as she expected, or is it? ©️juststarsandbooks All written works on this account belong to Juststarsandbooks.

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.
