Some people taste like first love-sweet, unforgettable, and impossible to keep. Elias was the kind of boy who left strawberry candy wrappers in his pockets and smiled like tomorrow was promised. Asher carried cigarette smoke in his lungs, a heart full of regrets, and the belief that nothing beautiful was ever meant to stay. They were complete opposites, yet somehow, they kept finding their way back to each other. Between stolen glances, midnight conversations, and love that arrived at the wrong time, they learned that the sweetest memories are often the ones that hurt the most. Because some people become your favorite chapter... even if they were never meant to be your ending.

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.
