Evan Brooks is only eighteen when the football world decides he doesn't belong. Despite dominating a youth selection camp, the Chinese-Portuguese midfielder is cut without mercy, left with nothing but frustration, a lethal long pass, and a dream that should have ended before it began. Then Cristiano Ronaldo receives a final message from his dying mentor about a boy in white whose passes can split a pitch apart. That boy is Evan. Pulled from obscurity into Portugal's World Cup camp, Evan goes from university training ground to the biggest tournament on earth in the blink of an eye. He has the vision to find runners nobody else sees, the technique to turn half-chances into goals, and a mysterious Heart of the Pitch System that begins to awaken as the pressure rises. But talent alone means nothing when veterans doubt him, fans accuse him of buying his place, and every touch of the ball is judged under the glare of the world. As Portugal charges into a brutal World Cup run, Evan must grow fast enough to survive elite football, earn the trust of his teammates, and become the perfect partner for Ronaldo's last shot at immortality. Because on this stage, one pass can make history-and one mistake can end everything.

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.
