Layla Voss keeps her walls high and her circle small. Her overprotective brothers Cyrus and Vance, her terrifying father Dean, and her soft-spoken mother Elena. To everyone else, they seem like a normal middle class family. But normal was always a lie. One overheard phone call to kill her ex shatters everything, revealing her father as the country's most feared hitman and her brothers, trained assassins since birth. Now, relocated across the state for a fresh start from a shitty ex, she enters a new high school determined to stay invisible. Then she meets Crayton Maddox, the state's golden quarterback. Worshipped. Feared. Untouchable. Colder than she is. And she knows her father has been hired to kill his father, Harlan Maddox.

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. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
