The Vipers - Book One ~ The Carter family held power that took years to gain. They were powerful, ruthless, and held no traits of mercy. Except for one. Easton Carter was the youngest of the Carters. And was far different to the reputation that the Carter name held. She was all things good. She was friendly, compassionate, sympathetic, and above all, far from a killer. And she vowed to live a normal life, no matter what her brothers get up to. Her normality consisted of being a soccer player and getting through the last two years of high school. But inside of her house, all of those things seem to disappear and she's forced to listen to what happens within the underground of the city. The Vipers are the most feared mob in the Los Angeles underground. They trick and attack their enemies without any mercy, but someone is targeting them. They need the help of the Carter hitmen. Kaleb Reed was raised to be a Viper. To be patient, and to strike when the enemy least expects it. His reputation is tainted with fear and viciousness, his skill unmatched. Kaleb has walls built higher than heaven, or hell, in Kaleb's case. It's solid and locked tighter than a prison, but the walls begin to shake and the ice begins to melt upon meeting the youngest Carter. Easton, in Kaleb's eyes, is no more than a naΓ―ve, young kid. Everything rainbows and puppies within her world. But he couldn't have been more wrong. Kaleb wants nothing to do with Easton, putting his sole focus on his job. But with one glance from Easton, Kaleb was hooked.Complete

The Carter Files
Shortlisted for the Wattys 2025! When Eden Devereaux transfers to Phillips Academy for her senior year, she has one goal: to prove herself as an investigative journalist and secure her future in the field. So when the opportunity to be published in The New York Times arises, she sets her sights on a story no one else dares to touch: the recent death of Malia Carter. Malia was sixteen, beloved by the elite Hillside community, and her death-an apparent overdose at a party-left behind more questions than answers. The police ruled it accidental, but the scene told a different story: bloody handprints on the walls, a shattered mirror, and Marcus Carter-Malia's brother-found at the scene, covered in blood. At first, Eden thinks she's chasing a simple exposΓ©. But the deeper she digs, the more tangled the story becomes-grief, guilt, and the lengths people go to protect the ones they love. As secrets unravel, Eden finds herself forced to confront uncomfortable truths: about Malia, about Hillside, and about herself. Her ambition brought her here, but at what cost? Because some stories aren't about answers-they're about what's left unsaid. And sometimes, the truth is the hardest thing to face.Complete

Madison is a woman who refuses to back down, and she's prepared to fight to keep her engagement-even as the "fame" surrounding her intensifies into a "spotlight of negativity." The path to the altar takes them from the romantic, cobblestone streets of Paris to the secluded luxury of a private island, but the "wedding of the century" is far from guaranteed. As everyone anticipates the ceremony, Jace's elitist family arrives with a vengeance, determined to dismantle their union by weaponizing Jace's dark "playboy" past.

But the danger isn't just inside the family. A lethal rival organization has placed a target on Madison's back, turning her dream wedding into a high-stakes game of survival. From mysterious "gifts" to threats lurking in the shadows, Jace will stop at nothing to protect his "Tech Queen"-deploying everything from private security to advanced surveillance to keep her safe.
