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...

*when we stop pretending is the first book of a 6 (hopefully???) book series but ceci and juli's story concludes in this book*

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.

There was only one word to describe them - Inseparable. Marlene and Leandrea are your twin goals. The perfect siblings who did everything together, did everything for each other and if the time came, they would willingly sacrifice their life for the other. However, the true test of their love begins when Marlene is diagnosed with leukemia - a fatal cancer. On the road to save her sister, Leandrea finds herself doing things she never thought she would do - stepping out of her comfort zone, socializing, hanging out with the popular kids and gradually but most importantly - falling in love. But when she finds out what's really at stake in this mission, will saving Marlene be her top priority? Or will Ryden Andrews - the school's not-so bad, bad boy and a growing deathly cancer be all it takes to separate the inseparable? Will this treacherous bit of life change these twins for the better or scar them for eternity? As soon as they got themselves stuck in this situation, they knew there was no turning back. Only one of them could capture Ryden's heart and only one of them could live. ☆★☆ Highest Ranking: #69 in Teen Fiction ☆★☆ This book has been written, edited and published by me from scratch and is purely fictional.

Falling doesn't feel so bad when I know you've fallen this way too. Please check TWs. After Theo got outed to the whole school, he gets paired with Kit for a school project. Kit is the football captain, "nice" popular guy who has lots of options. He's seen as having a 'perfect' life, but of course that can be hidden. His family and him struggle everyday at the hands of his father, but he finds a new friendship in Theo after a long time of trying to push him away. What could go wrong? (Or right?) Enemies to Friends to Lovers :) Drama, Romance etc. Please bear with me I cannot write descriptions to save my life, the book is much better (I hope!!) TWs: Homophobia, Abuse, Violence, Religion
