Jesaray Syar has had a horrible life, from her parents dying while she was young, and then being taken in by her drunk, abusive adoptive parents who brought their friends to beat her as well. Her first boyfriend, Michael was no different.
After realizing many things, Jesaray finally stood up and left the country, heading to Canada at 15 years old. How she managed to, no one knows.
Jesaray's life in Cambridge, Ontario has changed drastically ever since she left; she works six jobs, three a day and lives in a cheap apartment with only her will and determination to survive with her.
That is, until a strange man named Slate Hunters barges into her life.
Even though Jesaray is one of the most stubborn people in the world, Slate's determination is stronger, and he hopes -- something Jesaray doesn't believe in -- that he will finally be able to crack through her unbreakable shield.
But as said, Jesaray's mind is completely stubborn, and only after a horrible turn of events does she realize how wrong she'd been of the only man who ever cared.

The Silent Sister
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.
