{"product_id":"2940158969973","title":"Max","description":"Max...\u003cbr\u003eI'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.\u003cbr\u003eI 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.\u003cbr\u003eThey've got me serving three months of community service working at the local church's Salvation shelter.\u003cbr\u003eThey think three months here will change me; that I will change my delinquent ways. If only they knew... nothing could ever tame me.\u003cbr\u003eI was taught at an early age that love destroys you. I accept that I'll never love and I'll never be loved.\u003cbr\u003eWhat 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI'm Lake Miller...\u003cbr\u003eFor 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.\u003cbr\u003eNow I've ended up in Coldenshire; tired of sleeping on the streets, tired of hurting and tired of eating scraps of food.\u003cbr\u003eSo 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.\u003cbr\u003eHe 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.\u003cbr\u003eI 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.\u003cbr\u003eI don't need anything.\u003cbr\u003eNot love, not sympathy, and certainly not forgiveness, after all, I killed my brother.\u003cbr\u003eI'm a murderer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDue to strong language and sexual scenes, intended for readers 18+","brand":"Lisa Helen Gray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47101297262832,"sku":"2940158969973","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940158969973_p0.jpg?v=1764123481","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940158969973","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
