Her New Life by avocadorable143

Aurora doesn't have a great life, but she knows who she is. Until she wakes up to find her mom dead and her stepfather who killed her on the run. She's sent to live with her brothers - who she had no idea existed. They all adore Aurora, but everything she thought she knew has been destroyed, and now she must rebuild it all. Correctly, this time. Her stepfather is trying to find her and get her back in his possession, and her brothers *might* have neglected to tell her they're mafia leaders. And suddenly Aurora's predictable life becomes a mess of danger, cute girls, hot boys, mafias, and confusion. Did I mention "danger"? New friends, new brothers, new home, new life. Will Aurora adjust to all these unknown things, or will she end up back in the grasp of her stepfather, a familiar figure?
