Conor Thames by R.J. Lewis

All Charlotte Miles wants to do is graduate high school with her soul intact, flee the town of Blackwater and the horrors of home, and put the year she spent there behind her. The last thing she expects, though, is to be put in the crosshairs of Blackwater’s most notorious man, Conor Thames. One night, one moment, one glare in his direction and her fate is sealed. Reckless and violent, Conor is a loose cannon, but she clings to him, renewed with purpose, feeling things she never thought she could feel. Now she must tame the untameable man and save him from losing everything before it’s too late.
Conor Thames is known as a criminal, a thug, a womanizer with a hunger for violence. Having spent his whole life fighting for what’s his, he finds a new obsession. Colliding with Charlotte Miles tests every inch of his willpower. Breaking his walls down is surprisingly easy. Changing is questionable. Struggling to be a better man, Conor is soon faced with the biggest decision of all. To keep her safe may mean risking his freedom and everything he’s built and known.
To wait means years.
Years that test the love of two souls.
