"Why do you do it? Tell me."

I could hear the desperation in her voice. The pity. But this has been my life for as long as I could remember. I did everything to get away from him. Everything to protect her from the evil in this world. I did it all for her. My little sister, who deserved the world.

"You already know why I do it. We have to save up money some way or another." My voice was hard, my walls pulled up to cover up how much I was hurting inside. My only will to live was her.

"Amelia. He isn't going to find us, and we already have enough money. You've done so much for me, for us. I just want you to be happy, to find somebody." Her voice was calm as she spoke to me. 

"You don't know that Jess, he can still find us. He is the Don, he is always looking. And I will continue to put you first, always." With that, I walked to my small room in our two-bedroom apartment to clean my wounds.

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.
