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.

What happens when opposites attract? Will they heal or destroy each other completely, leaving only ruins behind? Welcome to Crestwood Elite, the world's most exclusive academy, where mafia heirs from across the globe come to master the skills of organized crime. 𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤: "I'm not doing anything!"

I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing. "And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused. "Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick." He looks taken aback by that, but then his face darkens as he drawls. "You didn't seem to be sick when I had my tongue down your throat last night. In fact, I recall you moaning for more."

Some love stories begin with a kiss. Others begin with a lie. Elisa Kai never meant to fall for the golden boy next door. Damien Jackson was everything she wasn't-effortless smile, easy confidence, and the kind of charm that made the whole world orbit around him. Elisa? She was the quiet girl everyone whispered about-the one who stared at the Jacksons' perfect life from her window, convinced she didn't belong in their world. Convinced she didn't belong at all. But then, she crossed a line. And Damien chose her. For a while, it felt like a dream. Like she was finally more than just the rumors. But every fairytale has a shadow. Drake Jackson is that shadow. Damien's younger brother is sharp where Damien is soft, chaotic where he's calm-and he watches Elisa like he knows exactly what she's hiding. He's arrogant. Infuriating. Always one step too close with a smirk that drives her insane. And worse? He never goes away. When Damien leaves for college, everything changes. Drake becomes the new king of the school while Elisa is fighting to make a name for herself in fashion. And what was once teasing turns into something darker. Something magnetic. Then Damien comes back. Now Elisa is caught between the boy who made her feel seen-and the one who never stopped watching. Old sparks reignite. New tensions boil over. What started as a simple love story begins to unravel into something far messier, far more dangerous. Secrets simmer beneath the surface-about the past, about what's real, and about the Jackson brothers themselves. And then...tragedy shatters everything. What follows is heartbreak, silence, and blame. As the rumors grow louder, the whispers get crueler, and her world spins further out of control, Elisa must face one truth: Sometimes, the person who saves you... is also the one who could destroy you. And not every love story survives the truth.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

"If I told you my secrets, you would never look at me the same." His fingertips graze my jaw, travelling up behind my ear and into my hair. I let out a soft sigh, unsure of how I feel about all of this. It's all sort of abrupt, but the way my stomach flutters when I'm around him is undeniable. Jaxon inches his face closer and I'm sure he's going to kiss me. Only he doesn't. He shakes his head and steps back, rethinking his choice. And now, he's gone. He's left me, in the empty parking lot of Cardinal Carter, and all I'm left with is the chanting from the field. I turn my head and watch him pick up his pace as he nears his Jeep. He fooled me. Again. Really, I should've never let an old flame burn twice. ---------- If anyone's experienced childhood trauma, it's Stella Blake. In her just fourteen years of life, she's witnessed her abusive, alcoholic father repeatedly beat her mother, saved her mother's life during the last straw, and truly knows what poverty is like. Headed into her freshman year of the prestigious Cardinal Carter Academy, Stella finally feels as if she's better. She knows she is. Her mother and her are doing fine now-financially and mentally. So what could go wrong? Jaxon Spade is the complete opposite. A once good boy turned Juvenile, the Junior carries an immense secret. One that he's sure will dethrone him as king. Jaxon is set to be the heir of the Canadian Mafia, also known as his fathers company, Spade Industries. Often seen as a rich boy who doesn't understand the ways of survival, he was once declared as Stella Blake's first love. Hiding family troubles of his own, Jaxon emotionally struggles to get by. That is, until he lays his eyes on Stella Blake. Prequel to Good Gone Bad - if you'd like some insight on the characters after their high school experiences, I suggest you read that first.

However, what Elena least expects is for her two worlds to collide all because of two boys she meets at school. * * * Elena headed towards the door. She was about to turn the doorknob when his next words froze her in place. "How do you think you'll sister will react if she finds out what you do?" asked Lucas. She slowly turned to face the two with a raised brow, "Meaning?" "Think about it," urged Cole, "How do you think everyone would react if they found out what you do during your spare time, especially your sister." She narrowed her eyes ."Are you blackmailing me?" she asked crossing her arms and raising her chin. "No, I never said that." Cole held up his hands yet grinning mischievously. "We're just saying that it would be in your best interest, along with ours if you joined us." shrugged Lucas. "You can't prove anything," she bluffed. A devious smile speared across Cole's face while Lucas grinned wickedly, "Oh, we both know you don't believe that." ------------------- The events and places are completely fictional along with the characters.
