Max (A Carter Brother Series Book 4)

Max...<br />I’ve got my looks, my charm, and well, a smile that melts panties. My charm only gets me so far though. Apparently, that limit is the law.<br />I don’t even care when the courts finally give me a punishment for vandalising the church property; in my defence, I didn’t know it was a church.<br />They’ve got me serving three months of community service working at the local church’s Salvation shelter.<br />They think three months here will change me; that I will change my delinquent ways. If only they knew... nothing could ever tame me.<br />I was taught at an early age that love destroys you. I accept that I’ll never love and I’ll never be loved.<br />What I’ve learned though is that love is also your greatest weakness; it’s why that one four letter word will never leave my mouth.<br /><br />I’m Lake Miller...<br />For the past year of my life I’ve never stayed anywhere longer than a few weeks. I’d sleep at different homeless shelters, park benches or anywhere I could find a dry place to sleep; the only belongings I have are carried in my backpack. I left everything else behind.<br />Now I’ve ended up in Coldenshire; tired of sleeping on the streets, tired of hurting and tired of eating scraps of food.<br />So when a chance encounter for a job at the local church shelter popped up, I took it. I know my time here is running out and that I should run, especially when the town bad boy, who is sexy as sin and annoying as hell, walks through the doors thinking he’s God’s gift to women.<br />He thinks life is a joke, that his smart mouth hides the pain behind his eyes, but he’s so off track I’m surprised he’s not lost.<br />I see the real him, and I don’t want anything to do with him, but he makes it hard when he’s always in my face. I have my own pain, my own loss and grief to suffer through; I don’t need anyone else’s.<br />I don’t need anything.<br />Not love, not sympathy, and certainly not forgiveness, after all, I killed my brother.<br />I’m a murderer.<br /><br />Due to strong language and sexual scenes, intended for readers 18+<br /><br />Reading Order<br /><br />Malik <br />Mason<br />Myles<br />Evan<br />Max
