Laine doesn't believe in poverty. Not the concept, but the reality. It's just something politicians made up to try to control idiots. Nothing she need concern herself with. She has her own problems. Mom is threatening to leave Daddy, and if that happens, Mom is likely to have more spare time. More time to notice what Laine is doing with the beach house.
Laine enjoys being one of the most popular girl in the Glades. She'll stop at nothing to get what she wants. Why worry about morals? When the sun shines everything can be forgiven.
Her teeth are white, her hair is blonde and her skin tanned to perfection; just enough freckles gather around the bridge of her nose to paint her face with innocence. But she's not.
She has one desire - to make money. Any way, any how; and she doesn't care about the consequences. Consequences are for other people.
At 22, living a permanent vacation, she is bored.

V is for Violet (COMPLETE)
-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out. Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love.
