"I never had nightmares as a child, but I would dream about having a mom. and- and those dreams, they were more painful than any nightmare my brain could come up with." ♡ ♡ ♡ I always loved the lost sibling trope. It's one of my all time favorites to read. I always wanted to read one where the sibling that's lost is a grown up when the family finds her. Never found one so I decided to write one. Hope you enjoy. ♡ ♡ ♡ She grew up with the thought that her biological parents didn't want her, didn't care for her. Why else would you put your months old daughter up for adoption? Now she's the owner of one of the biggest restaurants chains in the US. She's 23 and living her life but suddenly her biological family show up and ruin the peace and whatever happiness she had. ♡ ♡ ♡ This book is completely my idea, all rights reserved so please don't steal it!

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•Complete
