Jackie had always adored living in New York. She loved being in the city with her parents and her older sister, and she couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. That was, until something unexpected happened during her school’s formal dance. While she was helping out, her uncle suddenly walked in and pulled her aside. He told her that her parents and sister had been in a tragic car accident, and none of them had survived.

Moving in with the Walter boys changed Jackie’s life in ways she never could have imagined. At first, it felt like she had entered a whole new world—one filled with chaos, laughter, and love. Things she never really felt in New York. From football practices to movie marathons to late-night pillow fights, life with the Walters was never dull.

The Walter family had ten children, and the two closest in age to Jackie were Cole and Alex. As Jackie tried to find her place in the family, both Cole and Alex began to see her in a way that was more than just a sister. They both loved her.
