Compared to the circus at the Hart house, Stephanie’s life with the Giovannis looked downright dreamy. Ever since the Harts dragged her back, Olivia had been coming for her throat non–stop.

Truth is, from the second they brought her back, they never treated her like real family.

Ella blinked. “Why?”
