BRAIDED BROOD

“Emily is a high school senior living a life she never chose. Since her mother's death, she has been treated like a servant by the very people who were supposed to care for her. Still, she holds on to one dream: going to college and honoring her mother's memory. But when her mother's ashes are removed from their resting place because of unpaid fees, Emily is pushed to the edge. Then she meets Kyle Huxley, a wealthy and arrogant young man who offers her a strange proposition: pretend to be his fiancée. What begins as a simple arrangement soon pulls Emily into the world of the powerful Huxley family. His grandfather offers her a life-changing deal-move into Jupiter House and reform his three troubled grandsons. Jeffery is guarded and intense. Huxley is charming but reckless. Skyler is quiet and withdrawn. They may have wealth, but beneath it are three young men carrying wounds they refuse to face. Emily refuses to be intimidated. As she challenges them, the walls they've built around themselves begin to crack. But living under the same roof comes with rules, secrets, and boundaries that were never meant to be crossed. And then there's York, the quiet secretary who has been watching Emily from afar, drawn to her strength and resilience. In a house where emotions can be more dangerous than enemies, Emily finds herself caught between unexpected connections, forbidden feelings, and consequences she never saw coming. She entered Jupiter House hoping to change three broken men. She never expected the house to change her too.”
