The Godfather of the Rimrock

Betrayed by his family and fiancée, Adrian Vance disappears into the desert and raises eight abandoned children. Eight years later, his relatives return and mock them as worthless strays, unaware the children are heirs to powerful mafia families. When Adrian refuses to leave them, buried lies unravel and powerful allies arrive. The man once discarded must now protect his chosen family, reclaim his dignity, and prove that true legacy is built by love, not blood.
