Walking down the aisle in a beautiful dress, hearing the words "I do" and getting kissed by the love of her life is every girl's dream. What happens when her most trusted family member holds a gun to her back forcing you to say the sacred words "I do" to the person she is most scared of? The one guy who has tortured her with his words, the one that makes her wish her survival instinct was never there, and her father would pull the trigger. Then she thinks about it and tries to figure out why he would want to marry her? She wasn't rich; she had scars over the majority of her body. She wasn't beautiful by any means, and she was a dorky, awkward asshole who was terrified of a boy who wasn't going to beat her. She wasn't frightened because he'd hit her, she is scared because she knows that if he stopped being a complete ass, she could love him.
He has always fit in. He was beautiful, tall, strong, smart (when he wanted to show it), but he's an...acquired taste. He is loyal to his friends; he would do anything for them. If only he would stop and think about certain things, like the fact that his future wife has a gun between her shoulder blades, or why is he marrying the girl he bullied for six years? Anyway, this is how the story started.
Isabella's life has been anything but easy. At 14, she's already endured more than most. Her mother and her mother's boyfriend, Jack, were both controlling and abusive, leaving Isa to navigate the scars of their manipulation. Her mother always told her that her father abandoned them, and she never mentioned anything about brothers. Isa has lived believing she was truly alone.
But everything changes when her mother and Jack are arrested, leaving her without a guardian. With nowhere else to turn, Isabella is sent across the country from Chicago to Los Angeles to live with nine brothers she never knew existed. Struggling with the trauma of her past and the lies she's been fed, Isa finds herself thrust into a new life with strangers she's supposed to call family.
What she doesn't know is that these brothers are far from ordinary. They are not just successful men-they are the leaders of a powerful mafia empire, operating in the shadows of the city. Every brother has secrets of their one, as they have a hard time trusting anyone out of the family. Non the less the 9 brothers form a marvelous team.
