Sadie spent twelve years watching other kids get chosen-while her real family lived in comfort without her. When a social worker uncovers the oversight that kept her in foster care, she's sent back to the father who lost her through a bureaucratic error, and the four brothers who never stopped missing her.
But returning doesn't erase abandonment.
Sadie is furious. Her brothers are relieved but resentful.
And her father carries a guilt that threatens to break them all.
Home is a battlefield of memories and unspoken blame, and forgiveness is not guaranteed.
Yet beneath the anger lies love, waiting-unsteady, uncertain, but still alive.
Healing takes time. Trust takes longer.
But after everything, Sadie may finally learn what it means to be wanted.

Beneath the Blood and Silence
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.
