The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Unseen Truths
She was innocence wrapped in secrets - the daughter of a man feared by an entire city, yet untouched by his darkness. All she ever wanted was a quiet life, far away from the blood her father spilled in the name of power. He was the light in her storm. The kind stranger who made her laugh, who listened, who made her feel seen in a world built on lies. She never asked who he really was. She just fell - deeply, hopelessly. He didn't know either. To him, she was just the girl with the soft smile and the eyes that felt like truth. The one person who reminded him that there was more to life than the job, more than the mission. Until the mission became her. Until the file landed on his desk - her father's name in bold, her face staring back at him. Now, love has become the most dangerous secret of all. Because when the truth comes out, it won't just break their hearts - it could destroy them both.
