She’s perfect.
And broken, like you …
Unaware of how beautiful she is.
And how much worse her life could be …
She’s cast out for being different, misunderstood, or simply too complicated to bother with.
Just. Like. You …
She’s still perfect.
Because after all, you can’t break what’s already broken, and you can’t hurt what already suffers.
Or can you …?
“He sent you, then? Interesting.” The low resonance of his words ends on a lion’s purr. -
I tip my head back to look into his bruised face—evidence he’s still working, still collecting for the reaper—as he blocks out the sun with his size. He’s over six-foot of bulk, which means my five-foot three petite stature fits snugly into his shadow. -
And as much as I’ve tried to tell myself my memory is a goddamn liar, it still comforts me. Apparently I fly below the radar. -
His eyes roam lazily over me, settling on the full sleeve I had tattooed a few weeks back. My breath hitches, betraying the fucking confidence I was trying for, as he reaches out and hooks a thick finger in the leg of my cut-offs. -
Breathe through it. Breathe. You’ve got through it without giving in before, you can do it again. “Still getting’ around with your ass hangin’ out, Abbey-girl?” -
“Did you think I only did it for you?” I mock. How long has it been, anyway? I chuckle, shifting my gaze back to his disturbingly beautiful face. -
He expects me to know how many weeks he’s been in Cali and blurt it out, giving away the fact I’m still painfully aware of him. Yeah, I know how long it’s been, but I ain’t playing that game… yet. -
“No idea,” I answer, dealing the nonchalant card as I shrug my shoulders. “Time flies when you’re having fun.” His eyes darken as he reaches out and places both his meaty paws on my ass cheeks. -
I force a smile as his fingers skim the hem of my cut-offs where it slices a line over the firm globes. I close my eyes briefly as memories of how good it felt last time his hands were on me come in thick and fast. -
His touch trails up my back, dipping in at my waist, and pushing the hem of my tank up, exposing my flat stomach as he brings his palms to rest below the swell of my breasts. -
Just a few more minutes and he’ll be done. You can do it. -
My fight or flight is going haywire. I need to get away, to place distance between us, but at the same time I’m disgusted on the most part by how easy it seems to keep my feet in place. -
Anyone else, and they’d be cradling a broken wrist for this, my go-to defense when unwanted hands get too close. But this isn’t just anyone—it’s Sawyer, and it seems that my body still doesn’t know how to lie. -
I want it. -
But I shouldn’t. -
He still wants me. -
And I should hate that. -
But I’m waiting to see what he does next too much at once, Abbey. -
“Still tellin’ the truth, I see,” he teases, swiping his thumbs over my pert nipples before he lets go and steps back. -
The sun lances across my face, forcing me to look down to save my eyes watering up. “You want to know why he sent me yet?” I draw a deep, equalizing breath. -
“Because you begged him to come?” God, he’s always been such an arrogant bastard. “Hardly.” -
He juts his chin forward, and his tongue peeks out, running along the ridge of his teeth. “What then?” -
“War is on, Pretty Boy.” I smile. “It’s time to take daddy down.” -
Devil You Know
(Butcher Boys Book 1)
Sometimes love can be found in the most unlikely of places.
“It gives me strength to have somebody to fight for; I can never fight for myself, but, for others, I can kill.”
- Emilie Autumn
I should never have jumped that fence, and I most definitely should never have kissed her.
Living on the streets, I had to make some hard decisions to stay alive. I signed a contract with the devil, and because of that, I choose to live alone.
But after listening to my neighbors fight every night for years, it’s finally gotten to me. Now I’ve gone and done it - I’ve broken my only rule—never get involved.
I want to save the beautiful woman next door with the sad eyes from his abuse. I want to take her away from all of this, but what do I have to offer when my hands are stained with the sins I’ve committed?
How can I offer a broken woman peace and safety when those two things don’t exist in my world?
Unrequited
(Fallen Aces MC Book 1)
*Dark contemporary romance. Contains violence.*
She was, still is, and will never be anything but my everything.
Our love was all consuming, passionate, and forbidden. We took risks to be together, carrying on an affair for months before her psychotic drug lord husband found the truth behind the lies. She barely escaped with her life … and that of my son.
My club president told me that our love was no longer worth the risk, gave me a choice, and loyalty to the club being what it is, I walked away from her. I left behind the only thing I’ve ever wanted more than life itself and remained the dutiful soldier to a corrupt leader.
When our love is put to the test, will it be enough? Or will the walk through hell to reach heaven’s door be too much for her to bear?
Unbreakable: Unrequited Part 2
(Fallen Aces MC Book 2)
*Dark romance. Contains violence.*
Even after a broken heart is repaired, can the scars be too many for it to beat the same again?
Six years and a promotion to club president later, I’ve finally had enough of her excuses. The lies have to stop.
She IS worth the risk, I’ve NEVER gone a day without thinking about her or my son, and I know underneath it all she DOES still love me.
This time, she'll come home for good … she just doesn’t know it yet.
*The conclusion to King and Elena's story of a second-chance at love.*
Max is the author of dark, and highly emotional romance. Her Butcher Boys series is centered around a group of ex-street kids who have teamed up with an indebted motorcycle club to take down a notorious drug lord. And her new series, the Fallen Aces MC, is a spin-off from this dark and dangerous world.
Her writing has been described as 'gripping', and 'addictive', taking you on an 'emotional roller coaster ride'.
Originally born and bred in New Zealand, Max now resides with her family in beautiful and sunny Queensland, Australia. Life with two young children can be hectic at times, and although she may not write as often as she would like, Max wouldn't change a thing.
When she's not engrossed in her dark and twisted fictional worlds, she can be found enjoying the outdoors while 4wd-ing with her family.
