But beneath the heavy clouds of war, the second star still twinkles, and a young woman's heart, Wendy Darling's, has not lost sight of it...

*They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was.*
...........
Serena Carter was just trying to live-trying to find peace in the mess that was her life. But one accident changed everything.
Abandoned. Alone. She was sent to live with the Morettis-four brothers and a father who wanted nothing to do with her. She was the reminder of their mother's biggest betrayal, the stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she had to survive before she turned eighteen and walked away for good. Easy, right?
Wrong.
Because the Morettis might have convinced themselves they hated her, but hate was a tricky thing-it turned into obsession, into protectiveness, into something none of them were ready for. They thought they knew her, thought she was just a mistake that could be ignored.
They had no idea.
Because Serena had secrets-ones even she didn't fully understand. And in a world where power was everything, she was about to become the most dangerous piece on the board.
She wasn't just a mistake. She was a Moretti.
