Fifteen-year-old Adrian has spent his entire life on the outside, bouncing from one place to another, never truly belonging. But everything changes when a group of powerful, enigmatic strangers shows up, claiming to be his brothers. Thrust into a world of wealth, danger, and unspoken secrets, Adrian must navigate the challenges of fitting into a family that's as cold as it is protective. As Adrian's charm and humor begin to crack their hardened exteriors, he discovers that this new life comes with unspoken rules, hidden expectations, and bonds he's unsure he can trust. In a sprawling mansion filled with secrets and a school teeming with its own dramas, Adrian must decide who he wants to be-and what it really means to belong. But not everything is as it seems, and the shadows that haunt him may hold truths no one is ready to face.

Dakota is just like every other 17 year old high school senior. Or that's what everyone thinks. Everyone sees Dakota as this funny, sarcastic, and caring girl. What people don't see is how much she is truly suffering inside. People don't know that the smile she always wears is completely fake. They don't know what's really going on at home. They don't see the bruises she has to cover up every morning. They don't see her having to step up to take care of her two younger siblings. She puts on a fake smile as soon as she walks through the school doors and slowly builds her walls up higher as each day goes on. She thinks no one will ever see past her facade...that is, until three new bad boys come strolling into town taking an automatic interest in Dakota. And one certain bad boy can read her like an open book. Will Dakota eventually let these three bad boys in? Or will she keep everything in until she finally reaches her breaking point?
