Adalina's life is a relentless cycle of pain. Since the age of 6, she endures the daily horrors of an abusive household. Her stepfather's cruel words slice deeper than any knife, while her stepbrother's twisted games leave her feeling trapped and helpless. Her mother, once a source of love, has become an accomplice to the torment, prioritizing her own comfort over Adalina's safety. In this suffocating darkness, she feels invisible, unlovable, and utterly alone. Yet beneath her fractured exterior lies an unexpected resilience. Adalina has cultivated her own strength in the shadows, honing knife and gun skills in secret, driven by a desperate need to survive. She battles not only her abusers but also the suffocating weight of despair that threatens to consume her. With each passing day, hope feels more like a distant memory. Everything shifts when her estranged mafia brothers finally learn the truth about her plight. For years, they've searched for her, unaware of the horrors she faced. Their arrival is both a blessing and a curse, awakening emotions Adalina has long buried. Among them is Ezra, her brother's best friend, whose presence ignites a flicker of warmth in her cold, desolate world. But as much as she yearns for connection, the scars of her past make her wary of love. As her brothers plot to rescue her, Adalina finds herself torn between the safety of their world and the haunting familiarity of her pain. She must confront her demons and face the reality of her situation. Will she find the strength to embrace the love and loyalty of her family, or will her past keep her shackled in despair? In this heart-wrenching tale, Adalina's journey is one of survival, self-discovery, and the search for a love that feels almost impossible. Can she break free from the shadows that have defined her life, or will she remain trapped in a cycle of hopelessness?

{𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 1} 𝒁𝒊𝒏𝒂 𝑻𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔 Is the girl no one really noticed. She hides her face- with all the horrid bruises present- behind a facade, and makes sure no one suspects a single thing about the hell she's met with at her home with her 'parents'. Sure, when she gets in trouble or someone picks on her, she can defend herself perfectly fine with the way she does illegal fights and wins time after time. But it's when she's utterly alone, and locked up in her personal hell that she doesn't dare to speak up or say a thing. It's when the voices get through her that she cowers away in the shadows and doesn't dare to come out. Not even when her own life is in danger does she uses everything she's learned from that special boy with the mesmerizing smile and the kind reassuring eyes. Zina lives in her own shadows and deals with her own demons, but what happens when a random boy on a random day, decides to show more interest in her than anyone ever did? What if he tells her something that'll change her whole life?And what happens if that particular boy claims to be related to her? And is blood really thicker than water? Can her 5 caring brothers pull her out of her own shadows and free her from the voices calling her back? Or will she give in and be a danger to everyone around her? ---- "Don't break her heart." I suddenly hear Lucas speak up next to me. "How did you know?" I ask him. "The eyes. Everything you feel for her is displayed in your eyes." He answers me and I nod slowly. "I won't." I say quietly to him. "You won't what?" He says, wrinkling his brows in confusion. "Break her heart." I finish saying. I see him nod from the corner of my eyes, contemplating on what to say next. "Good." ---- No incest, nor cheating in this book!
