Wrapped In Brothers
Amaria's life has always been a balancing act between the normal and the extraordinary. Raised by her three older brothers-each over 18 and deeply entrenched in the dangerous world of the mafia-Amaria has grown up surrounded by luxury, power, and a family bond that runs deeper than blood. Since their parents left when they were young, her brothers have been her everything: protectors, mentors, and sometimes, the only stable force in her chaotic world. Amaria knows what her brothers do for a living. They've always been honest with her about their mafia ties, though they've kept her well away from the darker side of their empire. She doesn't get involved in the business and never wants to. She's more interested in the normal things-school, friends, and figuring out who she is outside the shadow of her family's wealth and power. Still, she can't help but feel the weight of her brothers' protection, their eyes always watching, always guarding her. While her brothers are kind, loyal, and incredibly rich, they have one rule: they protect Amaria with everything they have. And though they've never stifled her independence, they're always there, ready to step in at a moment's notice. But Amaria's world is about to change as she steps closer to adulthood and starts uncovering secrets that may challenge everything she's ever known about family, loyalty, and the mafia that binds them all together.Complete
