shattered

"The childs gone. The dreams gone. I've become comfortably numb."

Valentina Lombardi has been through a lifetime of trauma throughout her years. From her absentee, abusive father who's neglected her all her life to her even more abusive legal guardian who's been the one to traumatize her.

A trip to what she sees as her second bedroom, the police station, takes a turn of events with a piece of information she receives that changes everything.

Zane Marino, leader of the Marino mafia, and Raul Romano, one of his top men. Dead.

The two men who've destroyed her are now out of her life, a miracle to her. Now, she's being thrown into the custody of her eight older brothers she never knew she had. Her biological family.

Not to mention, her eldest brother who's now her legal guardian, also happens to be the leader of the Sicilian mafia. Her "father's" pure enemy.

What happens when she has to learn to deal with the infamous, ruthless Lombardi brothers, the ones she was raised to hate?

Marino through adoption and Lombardi by blood. A dangerous mix.

Throw trauma, boys, secrets, and utter chaos into the mix. How will it all play out when her inner demon's come to the surface, making everything unravel right under her two feet?
