Are you fan of This Is Us? Of stories that follow the lives of multiple characters and connect them in new and exciting ways? Then this story is for you! Step into the voyeuristic world of New York City's most exclusive apartment, where secrets are aired like dirty laundry.
The Watley building in New York prides itself on charm, appeal, and exclusivity. But its Fifth Avenue address comes with a slew of tenants carrying their own peculiar baggage.
Madeline Mills, young, ambitious, and nearly penniless, leaves every morning through the service entrance to avoid the building manager.
Elena Margova, blonde, overextended, and whip smart, prays to the gods that her children will one day accept potty training.
Brian Cooper, nervous, lanky, and analytical, avoids answering his phone and owning up to missed deadlines.
David Finlay, balding, tired, and vigorless, lumbers through the park, wondering where his life has gone.
Agatha Newman, wrinkled, cynical, and shrewd, sits atop her penthouse balcony and sneers down at the passersby.
Phineas Watley, blotchy, high-strung, and enthusiastic, dreams of shaping his ancestor's estate into something wonderful.
They watch each other's lives unfold from behind the curtains of their windows, each their own special star in the Watley building's galaxy. But sometimes those stars collide, and either something new is born, or the entire universe crumbles into dust.
These are their stories.
They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.
Serena Carter once had a family - loud, messy, beautifully imperfect. It wasn't always easy, but it was hers. Then one accident ripped it all away, leaving her alone and unwanted.
Now she's sent to live with the Morettis: four brothers and a father who see her as nothing more than the living reminder of betrayal. The stain on their perfect legacy.
Ten months. That's all she needs to survive until she turns eighteen and can walk away.
But hate is a dangerous thing. It turns into obsession. Into protectiveness. Into something no one expected.
Because Serena has secrets - ones even she doesn't fully understand. And in a world where power is everything, she's about to prove she belongs where everyone swore she didn't.
She isn't looking for love.
She's fighting for something stronger: a place to finally call home.
