"I loved him first, since the day we met in sixth grade, long before Brianne arrived our senior year. We used to carve our names into these very trees. The engravements are here still, sprinkled throughout the forests, like a testament even. Nick and Sylvia." -- Excerpt from THE GALLOS

When Sylvia unexpectedly finds herself on her own, she accepts the one opportunity to remain at her beloved lake by moving in with her rich but intimidating neighbors, the Gallos. She can't deny the additional bonus of once again getting close to drop-dead gorgeous Nick Gallo, even if he is now dating the annoying new girl who's reignited the community's zeal for bullying Sylvia over her bluebeard father's crimes.

Everyone around Lake Manna knows the Gallos are asking for trouble by taking in Sylvia, an isolated outcast and the daughter of a murderer. Yet that's exactly why the scheming Gallo siblings have invited Sylvia into their home -- she's the right kind of person to frame for the murder of their abusive father, a man whose money they deserve after all they've endured. But the right girl to frame is the wrong girl to trust.

Before the Gallo siblings have completed their murderous plan, youngest brother Nick and his girlfriend go missing and leave behind a bloody trail.

The Gallos point at Sylvia, who was at the crime scene and has suffered a strike to the head, leaving her without memory of her last moments with the missing couple. But as the plans to frame her for a murder surface, Sylvia seeks the truth. It's her only hope to perhaps rescue Nick and prove to everyone that she's innocent. Not an easy task as the Gallos and neighbors increasingly accuse her and threaten her life. Worse, more and more of the clues she uncovers point toward her as the guilty one.

THE GALLOS is a dark psychological thriller with romance and unexpected twists, told from Sylvia's point of view with journal entries from the eldest Gallo sibling, Angelina Gallo.
