When Benedict Lain Hale transfers to the bustling city of Lunaris City to start a new life, love is the last thing on his mind. Quiet, awkward, and still grieving the loss of his parents, Ben only hopes to survive college with the help of his cheerful best friend, Zyrelle Rodriguez and Elyra Xynn Adler. But everything changes when he meets Elyra's older brother, Adrian Gabriel Adler a cold yet caring engineering student who seems impossible to understand. From late-night conversations and accidental encounters to silent rides home and shared secrets, Ben slowly finds himself drawn to someone he was never supposed to fall for. Caught between friendship, fear, and feelings he can no longer deny, Ben must decide whether loving Adrian is worth risking the people closest to him. Years later, the city grows quieter, old friendships begin to change, and Gabriel stands beneath bright lights with a smile Ben no longer understands. Yet somehow, some promises remain unfinished... and some hearts never truly learn how to leave.

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.
