The woman stared at the gun in her hand, the cold, black metal warming the longer she held onto it.
The gun she'd used so many times without hesitation. The gun she carried with her everywhere she went. The gun that she'd used to take one life after another held in her shaking hands.
It was almost insane now to think that the gun had been that important to her a lifetime ago. A second limb. A shield and a sword at the same time. No. It was a gun. A gun held by a murderous woman.
She hadn't used it in years, planned not to for as long as she could get away with it. For as long as she had to before she used the gun on herself and ended herself, her darkness.
The gun was just a reminder of the darkness she'd plagued the castle with. A gun aimed at the heart of anyone and everyone she dared love.

Being a princess wasn't the easiest thing to do, especially when you were there to fulfill a job. 27-year-old Eliza figures this out when she sets foot in the castle. But who would have thought that her real nightmares would start when she left three years later? 

Eliza Liechenberg. No one would have guessed that this caring and kind girl carried with her a deadly secret, but when Daniel Riken, a man with the power to destroy her comes to whisk her away from her now somewhat normal life, that secret might be the only thing that could keep her alive.

Miesner Rossi, a royal guard in charge of protecting the two princesses of the Austrian house, falls into the middle of a war between a powerful man who has over half of Austria around his finger and the princess who he is supposed to protect. 

How much are they willing to risk to save each other and protect everyone from a threat looming over their shoulders?

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?
