Tyler is a boy with a lot of problems and even bigger dreams. He grew up in Greystone - a place where nothing changes and nobody expects anything more. A dead-end town where people are born, work, and disappear without leaving a trace. But Tyler doesn't want that life. One night, he leaves everything behind and moves to London with nothing but a suitcase and a promise - to make it, no matter what it costs. No money. No plan B. Just anger, ambition, and a dream of becoming someone big in the music world. But London is not just success and fame. It's temptation, pressure, and a world that can swallow you whole if you're not careful. And Tyler will learn the hard way that it's easy to get lost in it. He will find love too - but it won't be simple. It will be messy, painful, and far from perfect. This is not a story about luck. This is a story about risk. About ambition. And about a boy who might lose himself while trying to become someone. 16+

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.
