Shades of Sapphire (Valiente Series I)

Avriella Caroline Lopez never dreamed of being part of the Valientes--one of the richest and most influential family in their city. She only dreamed of a happy and complete family. She seeks love. She seeks care, and a home. Not a mansion full of spoiled brat and sheltered people. But she hoped, and promised to do her best to fit to the family, and finally receive the love that she seeks. She was happy when she was accepted warmly to the family--but unfortunately, one certain person has to ruin the temporary happiness that she felt. Hercules Amir Valiente--who's supposed to be her oldest step brother, seem to loathe her presence and can't accept her as a sister no matter what she does. But Ava will do everything to gain his affection, and everything will fall perfectly into place.. or so she thought.
