SYNOPSIS
Jazmine Fonseca never imagined her life would split in two the way it did.
Raised in Brazil by her mother, Maria Fonseca, Jazmine grew up believing her world was simple in structure, even if not always easy. It was just the two of them bound together in a life that, despite its challenges, felt familiar and certain. However, that certainty ends the day her mother dies and what follows is not just grief, but a complete shift in everything she thought she knew about her life and her identity. The funeral becomes the beginning of something she cannot reverse.
After her mother's death Jazmine is forced to leave everything behind and move to America and learn to navigate life with a father she never knew and six brothers who feel more like strangers than family. But fitting into the House of Drako is easier said than done when she cannot shake the feeling that everyone around her is hiding something. As secrets slowly begin to unravel, Jazmine must decide whether she can learn to trust the people she has been forced to call family and whether the House of Drako can ever truly become a home.

The day he buries his father, the new Pakhan expects only relief. The old man's reign of fear is finally over, and the Bratva already looks to its new leader for guidance. But in the back of a crowded church stands a little girl who should have been dead for five years.

The Rossi Rebel
When a plane crash kills her abusive mother and stepfather, 12-year-old Sky Rossi is ripped from years of neglect and thrown into the guarded world of the Rossi mafia empire. Stolen at two. Forgotten. Starved. Scarred. She returns tiny, malnourished, with jagged short hair she cut herself and clothes that scream "stay away." Her eight older brothers rule New York's ruthless Italian mafia - cold, powerful, and deadly. They expected a fragile little sister they could shield and pamper. They got Sky - a stubborn, hot-tempered tomboy who glares instead of speaking, pushes everyone away, and would rather sleep on the floor than accept their luxury. She trusts no one, flinches at loud noises, and hides her terror behind icy silence or sudden outbursts. The Rossi brothers have faced every enemy in the underworld. But this short, rebellious girl might be the one who finally breaks through their armor... or forces them to face the family they failed.

And then there was one
'Blood runs thicker than water' they say. Those who you share the same blood as - you know your family - are meant to be more important than those who don't. But it's ironic really, the way the saying got messed up over time until it means the complete opposite. The full saying is 'The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb'. That the blood from the bonds you share with your chosen family are thicker than the water from the covalent womb you share with your blood relations. Going from a family of 8 to 1 was a challenge for Amelia, but what happens when her 5 brothers try showing back up? Give this story a chance yk, I rate it a 10/10 so lmk if I'm biased or if it's generally that good :)
