Love Won't Save Me

"Elena Jones and I became orphans on the same day.Her parents are killed in a mass murder, and my father—the killer—is executed on the spot.For a month straight, Harborfield's most notorious playboy waits outside the courthouse, intent on keeping Elena.However, she throws his black card right back at him, like a headstrong heroine straight out of a movie. "The Mr. Carter I admire is refined and noble. How could he have a nephew like you? I'd rather starve than accept anything from a thug."He lets out a sharp, amused laugh and crooks a finger at me. "A death row convict's daughter and a thug make a fitting pair. I'll back you. Are you willing?"While clutching the ten-million-dollar IOU my father left behind, I nod without hesitation.Later, he orders me to get into his uncle Daniel Carter's bed. "With all that sin on your shoulders, you're an even better match for him. That way, Elena will finally give up on him for good.""
