GENRE: PERIOD ROMANCE, GRUMPY-SUNSHINE ARRANGED MARRIAGE, CARETAKER-HEALING TROPE.

The Duke of Sherards knew fear when he saw it. It was sheer, blind terror that he saw in the eyes of Lady Evangelina when she showed up in the middle of the night at Sherards Manor with the most incredulous proposal: That of marriage. 

"I dare not ask this of anyone else, for I am aware that the minute my father comes knocking at their doors asking for me, they will relinquish me like property back to its rightful owner. I do not ask for your love for I know I will need to earn it. I am here to ask you for mercy, if you have any, for a woman who seeks to fight for herself before her soul is snatched from her body by her own." 

She asked for sanctuary and for him to become her husband and protector. He agreed, not because she was terrified, but because her fear bothered him for the first time in a long time. Or maybe just because he needed a saving grace just as much as she did.

Gemma isn't what you would call normal. With a genius IQ, a not so great home life, and a hard time staying in tight spaces, the girl's got a few issues. She never thought that she would be saying that a new issue was four older brothers she had no idea about. Brothers who thought she died twelve years ago? But not everything is as it appears with our lovely little Gemma; same with her new brothers. Nothing is as it appears, it seems. With a past worse than expected at first glance, literal demons that can bite them in the ass, and a couple of plain grouchy Starbucks attendants, this will be one crazy ride. But will this ride destroy the family or bring it back together? Don't look at me, I don't know. You'll have to read to figure that out. (The chapter titles are in Portuguese but the story is in English, I promise you).
