Charlotte grew up thinking her four older brothers were just overprotective- hovering, smothering, always one step behind her. They raised her, loved her, and built a life meant to keep her safe. But as she's gotten older, the cracks are getting harder to ignore.

Hushed arguments behind closed doors. A mother who drifts in and out of her life with shaking hands. A father she can't remember- because no one will tell her why.

The rules she once accepted without question start to feel like wall, and the silence she grew up with starts to grow louder. 

As she pieces together fragments of her childhood that she was never meant to uncover, she realizes her brothers aren't just protecting her from the world. They're protecting her from the truth- a truth that shattered their family once, and could shatter her when she finally discovers it.All Rights Reserved

Finding light (Free sample) by Gracejenniferanne

When the unthinkable happens, nine-year-old Oakley Miller is thrust into a world no child should have to face alone. With her mum in a coma and a trail of buried secrets left behind, Oakley is sent to live with a father she's never met-and four half-brothers who feel more like strangers than family. But Oakley carries more than just a suitcase. She carries the weight of what happened. She carries the truth she's too scared to tell. And she carries a plan-one she wrote herself-to protect the only person who's ever loved her. To survive, Oakley must lie. To protect, she must pretend. To stay safe, she must not let anyone in. Not her new family. Not her social worker. Not even the quiet boy with glasses who sits beside her at lunch. But as more darkness begins to grow around her-and questions start to surface-Oakley begins to wonder: How long can she keep everything hidden? What happens when her story starts to unravel? She's only nine. And the truth? Might be the most dangerous thing of all. For the full story, go visit my Amazon page: https://www.amazon.com/author/gracesmith.author

And Mathilda must decide whether some bonds are worth forgiving-or whether the past will keep them forever broken.

Undesired Family (New Book) by CristinaCosta680

Breanna was left at the orphanage when she was still a baby. They say it was to protect her. But nothing protected her from the pain that came later. Raised amid daily abuse, she learned to fend for herself, until, after the death of her adoptive parents, she is forced to live with her biologist parents and her seven brothers who abandoned her. They are rich, influential... and dangerous. Breanna soon realizes that the truth behind her past is intertwined with secrets much bigger and darker than she ever imagined. A family involved with the mafia. And a girl trying to figure out if it is still possible to trust, love... or survive. Breanna will have to decide if she can trust the one who left her behind or if she should run away before it is too late. ***** "What are you so afraid of, Sorella?" Elijah asks me worriedly. "Of destroying what little I have left," I whisper before being dragged into the darkness. Note: This story may contain sensitive themes such as abuse, drug use, and eating and psychological disorders.

Runners by rbooks01

They balance each-other out. One the calm, the other the storm. Except when they don't. Except when she loses it and makes the place burn...literally.

The twins are in for a crazy ride, but they're in it together. Always. Pinky promise. Will it be enough? TW: abuse, SA, r*pe, and mature language/scenes.

(Unedited) "You weren't here! You haven't been in a long time so stop trying to act like you were." Willow grew up in a house with six brothers, one of them being her twin. She's grown up in a two bedroom apartment with an alcoholic mother who never managed to pay the bills on time or even buy food, so the eldest two brother's always took the responsibility, and once they left it was passed on to the next brother. But eventually all her big brother's had left without looking back and it was just her, her twin Wes and their mother whenever she was around. They got along just fine for the next two years, they somehow managed to get through the tough times together and they thought it would stay that way, the two of them against the world. Until their mother got pregnant and they had the responsibility of raising their baby sister at the age of 11. They pulled through and it was now the three of them against the world. They believe they can get through anything and they hope that's true when suddenly the brothers who disappeared years ago start to show up looking to mend their relationship with the twins who hold a deep hatred for their older brothers. Can they fix the broken relationship with the twins and build a new one with their new baby sister? Or is it too late? --- It's better than it sounds.
