After years of disappointment, I finally gave up... moreSince I was a little girl, I’ve dreamed of my Prince Charming. He would be as protective as my dad. Loyal as my uncle Mason. Strong like my uncle Malik. Kind like my uncle Myles. And make me laugh like my uncle Max. At such a young age, little did I know that finding a man with those qualities would be like trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack. After years of disappointment, I finally gave up. Yet my best friend, ever the optimist, didn’t, and after much persuasion, I finally relented and joined a dating site. I thought I would go on one date, tell her it was a waste of time and stay a virgin for the rest of my life. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Instead, he moved in across the hall. He also happened to be a cop. A hot one. One who ticked all of my criteria. But it’s never that simple―not with my incredibly bad luck and crazy relatives. Not with the nut job who clearly has a death wish if he thinks he can order me around. I’m Faith Carter, and this is my story. less

This is the second book in A Next Generation Carter Brother Novel; a spin-off from The Carter Brothers. I wasn’t looking for love. I was Aiden Carter; I didn’t do the whole fuzzy, lovey, romantic crap. I loved to party. I loved sex. I loved women. If I wanted it, I got it. It was the way my world worked and I made no qualms about it. The only people I truly cared about were my family. I was loyal to the bone and would die for each and every one of them... moreThis is the second book in A Next Generation Carter Brother Novel; a spin-off from The Carter Brothers.

It was the way my world worked and I made no qualms about it. The only people I truly cared about were my family. I was loyal to the bone and would die for each and every one of them. There was nothing on this earth that could change me. I guess I should have watched my back, maybe been less cocky, because I didn’t see it coming. I’m about to have my feet swept out from under me, and there’s not one thing I can do about it. less

There are five stages of grief, and I clung to my anger like it was a lifeline. I used it as a tether to the world, defying all odds just so I could feel something. They wanted me dead. Now, I’m gunning for them. The rage inside me won’t be quenched until everyone from that night has paid. Someone should have warned them; if you fuck with a Carter, they’ll fuck you over ten times harder... moreThere are five stages of grief, and I clung to my anger like it was a lifeline.

For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of a life doing a job I love, and owning my own home, where I would live with my husband and we would build a family together. I managed to make two of those things happen. I worked every day, doing something I loved. I owned my own house, and I made it a home. Every day I held onto hope that I’d one day have the rest. And each day I didn’t, was another day my dream slipped through my fingers. Until one night, I bumped into a little bit of hope... moreFor as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of a life doing a job I love, and owning my own home, where I would live with my husband and we would build a family together.
