Quiet Is The Night Now
In the Montgomery household, nights are never truly quiet. Four brothers, William, Jamie, Aidan, and Grayson, hold together a family stitched from loss, love, and second chances. Between school fights, whispered secrets, and the chaos of growing up, their children stumble through the trials of adolescence under the watchful eyes of fathers who are still learning, themselves, how to heal. And when the day finally ends, after every argument, every stolen glance of defiance or tenderness, the house settles into a fragile peace. Quiet is the night now, but never truly still, because every heart inside it is learning how to beat as one.
Secret Family
Nine-year-old Nelly has spent her life being shuffled from one foster home to the next, her fragile heart and quiet spirit crushed under the weight of neglect and abuse. Small for her age and often overlooked, she's learned to survive by keeping her head down and her words even fewer. But when the police storm her foster home and take her into custody, Nelly's world is turned upside down. At the station, she learns something she never expected-she has a family. A father and five older brothers, none of whom she's ever met. Whisked into a world of wealth and mystery, Nelly is thrust into a life she doesn't understand. Her father, Damian, is cold and commanding, her brothers a whirlwind of personalities, from kind and caring to distant and brash. But underneath the surface, this family holds secrets of their own-secrets about their dangerous world and how far they'll go to protect the little sister they never knew they had. Nelly's quiet resilience might be the only thing that can bridge the gap between her broken past and a future she's too scared to believe in.Complete
