A perfect boy. A broken girl. You know where the story goes.

Cecilia Duarte knows how to keep a secret. She's learned the hard way. With covered crimes and heavy burdens on her shoulders, it's a requirement. But then, in one lucky encounter, that weight is about to fall. Julián Reyes. So perfect it's actually annoying. Blond hair, honey eyes and a smile anyone would die for. Including Ceci.

Julián Reyes knows how to play a part. With a scholarship secured and his spot on the soccer team admired, he must. But she's always been there, in the back of his mind, threatening his focus. Cecilia Duarte. And a seat chart could bring them together. Chocolate hair and sad eyes he sees in his dreams.

They've pretended their whole lives, so stopping isn't an option.
And yet...

Playing for keeps by BookOrchestra

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.
