Description
Alessandro's voice cut like a blade, "You think I'm some kind of fool, Rayan? You don't know the first thing about loyalty. Don't forget who built everything you're standing on, whose blood runs through this city." Rayan's jaw tightened. "Spare me your fairy tales, Moretti. Your empire is built on lies, just like your family. You keep her caged like a prize, but she's mine. Not yours." "I think you're misunderstanding something here. If she's not mine, then she's no one's." -- Jolie loses her mother-and the only life she's ever known. Grieving and lonely, she discovers: she was not alone. Two rival bloodlines, both unaware of her existence, now claim her as their own. Seven brothers-three from her mother's side, four from her father's-are pulled into her life, each with secrets, scars, and their own version of the past. Family can be a threat. And love, a cage. Sometimes, being found is just the beginning.
