When fourteen-year-old Emilia escapes the cold grip of foster care, she never expects to end up clinging to life on the doorstep of a powerful mafia family. Shot multiple times and broken in body and spirit, she is taken in by Matteo-the eldest of eight fiercely loyal brothers-who refuses to let her slip away, even as her survival hangs by a thread.
In a house filled with quiet danger and unexpected tenderness, Emilia finds herself tethered to life by wires, tubes, and the steady hands of men who treat her like one of their own. As she battles pain, fear, and a past that left her scarred, she begins to discover something she's never known before: safety, family, and the unconditional care of those who see her not as a burden, but as a little sister worth protecting at all costs.
Raw, emotional, and achingly human, Beneath the Blood and Silence is a story of survival, healing, and the found family that holds you up when the world has tried to tear you apart.

She dreams of sunlight, open skies, and a life beyond the shadows-but dreaming is the closest she's ever come to escaping. 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.

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?
