Leila Cardoso is a woman who has always had everything she could ask for, ever since she was a young girl. She has always been independent and shown her father that being his only daughter isn't as bad as he thinks it may be. She wants nothing more than to prove herself to him, to show him that she holds just as much power as her brothers do. She matured at a young age, due to her father being a gang leader. Now Leila runs a club and she knows that puts herself in the spotlight, where her father wants her to stay away from.
One day at work, Leila meets this woman and is automatically drawn to her and decides she wants her. That girl will be hers. She gets into trouble in the club and Leila sees this, helping her. She gets to know her, but little does she know of the dangers she is setting herself, and her new friend up for.
Will Leila's mystery girl cause trouble with the Cardoso family, or will Leila find a way to keep everyone safe and alive?

*****
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?
