Secret Family by Katie8374

Nine-year-old Nelly has spent her life being shuffled from one foster home to the next, her fragile heart and quiet spirit crushed under the weight of neglect and abuse. Small for her age and often overlooked, she's learned to survive by keeping her head down and her words even fewer. But when the police storm her foster home and take her into custody, Nelly's world is turned upside down. At the station, she learns something she never expected-she has a family. A father and five older brothers, none of whom she's ever met. Whisked into a world of wealth and mystery, Nelly is thrust into a life she doesn't understand. Her father, Damian, is cold and commanding, her brothers a whirlwind of personalities, from kind and caring to distant and brash. But underneath the surface, this family holds secrets of their own-secrets about their dangerous world and how far they'll go to protect the little sister they never knew they had. Nelly's quiet resilience might be the only thing that can bridge the gap between her broken past and a future she's too scared to believe in.

The Silent Sister by Orphic_bae

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.
