Youngblood Series by Monique Orgeron

Is there a road to redemption? Her coming into my life was a miracle. She saved me. But she also came in like rolling thunder to my lightning strikes.

The problem is, she sees right through me... moreIs there a road to redemption? Her coming into my life was a miracle. She saved me. But she also came in like rolling thunder to my lightning strikes. Opinionated, aggressive, argumentative, and fuck did it make me react. She is the first woman to ever call me on my bullshit, causing my blood to boil like no other. The problem is, she sees right through me. I’m a bad man with no redeeming qualities or is that true? I might not be who she wants, but I can be the only man she will ever need, and she is the only one that can penetrate my blackened heart. The price is high but with her, I get not one but two hearts that will be solely mine. Fire and ice! Freedom is all I wanted and what I got were surprises. All wrapped up in a man that was everything I hated. Life was supposed to be simple. Stick to the plan, that’s all I had to do and then he came in tempting me and pushing my buttons. So why did I let him get under my skin, in my thoughts, and in my bed? There is too much to risk but what a delicious risk it would be. Is it possible to love someone you hate? less

My retribution may be over, but my future remains controlled by my past. Stripped of everything, I paid penance for a crime that wasn't mine. But in our world, the son always pays for the father's sins. My need for revenge blinded me. Faced with the truth, I was forced to make a choice that went against what I'd fought so hard for. With my atonement complete, I'm asked what would make me happy... moreMy retribution may be over, but my future remains controlled by my past.

Faced with the truth, I was forced to make a choice that went against what I'd fought so hard for. With my atonement complete, I'm asked what would make me happy. The problem is, I had happiness once and the very person who gave it to me is the same one who robbed me of it by leaving. The girl I loved with all my heart and now hate with all I am. How can I look forward when I'm tortured by memories of her? Now she's back. Sometimes love isn't good for you. Sometimes, you have to love yourself enough to see the destruction ahead and simply move out of the way. I once loved a boy who was determined to continually hurt himself. For a chance to prove himself worthy. His choices opened my eyes to see the years of pain and hurt the future held. Leaving, I took a risk for a better future, but my return unravels a spiral of betrayal. Leaving me at their mercy.  **This book is not a standalone.
