The older woman holds out a wooden spoon over a pot of sauce, looking at the younger woman with a small smile.

I shook my head and wrote fast on my pad. I burn water.

Alba

Then you'll learn to burn it better. Come.

Synopsis

Aveline has not spoken since she was a child. Her stepfather works her in an ice house and calls her broken. When his debt comes due, he offers her as payment. A dangerous family takes her in instead. Mattia Saracen stops the deal and brings her home. His mother Alba gives Aveline a warm room and a new coat. For the first time, Aveline starts to think she might be safe. Then the Falco family finds her. Aveline is the lost daughter of Massimo Falco. Her father has looked for her for years. Her new brothers are not all glad to meet her. Leo calls her sister. Paolo calls her a fake. Cesare says she stays. Aveline must learn who to trust while two families want her. Mattia says he will not leave her side. Her father says she belongs with blood. Paolo starts to see her pain, but he has already hurt her. Aveline needs more than a claim. She needs to be believed. And she needs the brothers who call her sister to keep choosing her.
