Azure Ashton-Walters is a thirteen-year old girl striving to find a purpose and happiness despite her highly abusive home life with her step-father. Due to a random accident, she suddenly finds herself in the custody of five brothers she never knew she had. Azure must navigate her mysterious family's secrets and a completely new home life with five boys almost as guarded as her while protecting her own, dangerous truths. When demons from her past come back to haunt her, will Azure and her brothers be able to fight them off... together? *** "Azure, do you remember anything about your life before you were four years old? I know normally this isn't the case, but I was wondering..." "No, I don't." All her mother had told her about her absentee sperm donor is that he was a deadbeat. Azure had never wanted to investigate her own origins, suspecting her biological father was just like her mom, and assumed she was an only child. "Okay, well then this will come as a shock to you." Carmela took a deep breath. "Your oldest brother, Leonardo Bianchi, is now your legal guardian. He's 25 and lives in Malibu, California." Azure remained quiet, processing this information. She hadn't thought her opinion of her mother could lower any further, but clearly she had been wrong. Anastasia had a child that she completely abandoned when, based on Carmela's question, Azure was just four and he was- Azure quickly did the math in her head- sixteen. Although not living with Anastasia had probably been better for him. "Azure?" Carmela interrupted her thoughts. "You all right over there?" "Yes. You said 'oldest'. How many ... siblings do I have?" "Five. Five brothers. Leonardo is the oldest at 25, Augustine is 24, Constantine is 21, and Cosimo and Valentino are 17." Azure's eyes widened in shock. She accidentally tightened her grip on Mila, who gave a yowl of protest before clambering onto her shoulder instead. What the freaking fudge? Five men? What were they, a mafia family?
