A mafia siblings book with a love interest as the two central themes.
--
Katerina is a 15-year-old girl who has been abused by her mother for as long as she can remember. As time goes on, the worst years of her life seem neverending, and she can only take so much more; even with the help of a close friend, she struggles to remain true to herself.
After the death of her mother and stepfather, Katie learns that she is not alone in the world, having thought for years that she had no other family other than the she-devil that called herself Kat's mother.
Most surprising of all is when she learns of the brothers who had been searching for her for the past decade.
--
Will Kate finally be able to overcome her dark past and love again, or will she stay cold and closed off from the world forever?
Will her brothers finally be able to break down the walls that she has spent years building?
Or will they push her to her limits, breaking her beyond repair?

Excerpts:
Sebastiano's POV:
"Sometimes I feel like my life is a lie," she mumbles, leaning her head against my shoulder. "I like to act tough, but most of the time, that act is just to hide how broken I truly am."
-
Katerina's POV:
"It's not your job to protect me!" I exasperate, trying to pull my arm away. Instead, he grabs both of my arms firmly, yet gently, pulling me towards him. "My brothers smother me enough as it is," I grumble under my breath, tugging away from him pointlessly as his grip on my arms never falters.
"I realize that it isn't my job to protect you, Katie, but I want it to be," he declared, meeting my gaze.

Savanah Rodriguez was the child that was forgotten.
But what happens if there was two children who had a loving home. But not everything is about love.
One child was kidnapped at the age of 5, never to be seen again. The family does not speak of this, as they just want to forget they ever had two 'perfect' daughters.
10 years later, a car accident occurs, involving the cousins, but someone in particular.
Juan Rodriguez; the twin that was left behind and sent to boarding school.
Who knew that being sent back to boarding school after a traumatic car accident would find something that had been missing for 10 years?
All Juan had ever wanted was for his twin sister to be brought back home, but his family closed the case years ago, deeming her dead without even seeing her body.
But who knew that one semester at boarding school could bring this family down from the lies they had been building on for years.
Only some people will be able to tell the truth from the lies they keep telling eachother; even the ones that they tell themselves when they look at themselves in the mirror.
No one knew that one car accident made everything change that night.

"Who knew that the girl that wore the hoodie every day was someone who meant the world to me"
"I wish that I was someone else. Someone that was loved"
"Before you know it, you'll be coming back to boarding school with me and Alvaro because they think we are troubled, but if they paid enough attention to us, they would know who we are"
