Sixteen-year-old Olive Monroe has never known freedom. Trapped in a dimly lit corner of a crumbling Arizona house, she's kept under the watch of her cruel stepfather, Rex. She dreams of sunlight, open skies, and a life beyond the shadows-but dreaming is the closest she's ever come to escaping. When Rex is arrested, Olive learns a shocking truth: she has five older brothers. Men who command respect with the click of a heel. Men who have spent fifteen years searching for the sister stolen from them. For Matteo Conti, the night the phone call comes is the first time he's been able to breathe since that day. Now, his baby sister is finally coming home. But the girl he finds is not the one he remembers-she's quiet, skittish, and flinches at the smallest sound. As Olive navigates a new world of power, protection, and overwhelming family love, she faces a choice: keep her past locked away, or trust her brothers with the truth.

Finding Her - Saving Them
It's been 13 years, but her brothers never gave up looking for her. Everything they did, she was in the back of their minds. Where was she? Why couldn't they find her? Was she ok? An unfortunate event led them together, but things are never as easy as they seem. Any similarities between the story and characters and other works are unintentional. I am trying to keep bringing in new ideas despite the storyline of brothers finding their missing sister being common. 8/15/25 - #1 in "Italian Mafia" 8/22/25 - #1 in"Overprotectiveolderbrothers" 8/28/25 - #20 in "lostandfound" 9/23/25 - #2 in "abuse" 11/7/25 - #20 in "longlostsister"Complete
