How will their life play out when they both have secrets they are keeping from one another?

My name is Lia Moretti, but most people in the underworld know me by my more notorious name, Viper. Seventeen years old. Assassin. Street fighter+racer. Mother to a perfect baby girl. I was abandoned as a baby(or so I thought) and tossed into the cruel and unforgiving foster system. Fear taught me how to survive. Pain taught me how to fight. By ten, the only thing good in my life that kept me going was Rose-my best friend, my partner, my now girlfriend-together we built our own family, our home. .... Left shattered after their precious little principessa was kidnapped sixteen years ago from their home by a rival mafia, the Moretti family never stopped searching for the daughter they lost. Their hope had turned cold-until a single phone call changed everything, proving that their little principessa was alive...and closer than they ever imagined. TW- Violence. Mental and physical abuse. Torture. Mentions of rape. Explicit language. PTSD.

When Rex is arrested, Olive learns a shocking truth: she has five older brothers. Men who command respect with the click of a heel. Men who have spent fifteen years searching for the sister stolen from them. For Matteo Conti, the night the phone call comes is the first time he's been able to breathe since that day. Now, his baby sister is finally coming home. But the girl he finds is not the one he remembers-she's quiet, skittish, and flinches at the smallest sound. As Olive navigates a new world of power, protection, and overwhelming family love, she faces a choice: keep her past locked away, or trust her brothers with the truth. And for the Conti brothers, the question becomes-can the most influential men in the world learn how to be gentle for the one person they'd burn it all down to protect?
