Playing for keeps
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 naïve, 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

Twin At First Sight |✓|
I felt the tears rise and I looked down for a minute, gathering all of my resolve. I looked up again and stared him right in the eye. "You know what? I trusted you!" I jabbed my finger in his chest and he recoiled. "I trusted you and you broke my trust. I trusted you to keep the secret. I trusted you enough to tell you everything. I trusted you to keep my trust. I trusted you." I told him and he flinched as my voice broke in the end. I looked away from him and at everyone else in the room. "And you wonder why I never trust. You know what? I can't do this. I'm done." I scoffed and shoved past Aiden but paused at the door, not looking back. "Oh, and if you are still curious? Go ahead and hack into the file. Don't say that I didn't warn you." ************************************************************** Alexis and Aiden are siblings with Aiden being 11 months older than her.
