"Excuse me but I didn't catch that. What was your name again, doll?" The man asked gently, voice quite amused by the meek response he got from the young woman standing stiffly in front of him.
"Lucky." She repeated, a little more loudly this time. 
"Lucky. Huh. That's a unique name to have. I was almost certain that it would be 'Belle', since you looked like one to me." He mused, then gave Lucky a playful wink when he noticed her surprised gaze.  

Lucky's long awaited and hard-earned vacation was supposed to be exhilarating and soul-enlightening. It's Cambodia! And Angkor Wat was her dream view to be captured through her viewfinder and not this drop-dead-gorgeous, Greek-of-a-man hunk holding her precious camera. And although her 'flight' instincts are screaming at her to run, she just can't leave her 'baby' behind which is yet about to be fully-payed via 'Home Credit'.

23 parts Complete Mature

A ragtag gang of teens teams up with a neighboring girl gang when a major cartel moves into town, threatening their families, their turf, and the community they've worked so hard to protect. ***** Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted? Book One of The Seven Twenties Series Content and Trigger Warning: contains violence, drug use, mentions of domestic abuse, and mature themes.
