Book One of the 1-D3RL4ND Series
After the cameras are off, once the final kiss scene is over, when the credits are done, what really goes on with the puffed-up perfect little romance dolls? What monsters swim between swooning lines? Or darkness scratches at cookie cutter background stories? Two "bad guy" romantic rivals find out that they didn't just lose the girl, they found a whole lot of trouble as a consolation prize. Good thing it's Christmas, because Santa gave them the perfect present to help them get out of this mess---each other.
An unexpected novel from a Tumblr writing prompt about two Hallmark movie "bad guys" on Christmas, who are dumped by their blonde ex-girlfriends, meet at the airport on their way home to New York, and subsequently fall in love.
Intended for mature readers. There are many things people may find triggering. Reader discretion is advised.
A LGBTQIA+ action-romance with fluff, sex, violence, gore, horror, blood, murder, and mature language. This is also a parody of cheesy Christmas romance movies; it goes back and forth between being serious and comical, the 4th wall is often broken, and the characters make side comments revealing their awareness of being nothing more than characters in a production.
This is a work of fiction, and a parody. Names, characters, businesses, events, incidents and whatnot are the products of the authors' [gamerkats] imaginations. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental, and would be super freaky, possibly resulting in the authors giving up writing and becoming soothsayers.
This is also original writing. It is not Public Domain.
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?
