Black Class

PLEASE NOTE: Although the Raven Maxim books are all part of a series, they are standalone stories. The reader is not obligated to read them in order, nor are they required to read the entire collection. This is encouraged, but not necessary to guarantee the reader's enjoyment and comprehension of the stories. You don't have to wait for the entire series to be available to start reading, either, because the books are not contingent upon one another and each one has a separate ending. BLURB: Dean North has spent his entire life in Macon, Mississippi. Rebellious and temperamental, he has turned his life around after a violent, disturbed youth. Trapped in a small town, he lives unfulfilled, plagued by his inner demons. Until, one night, things get worse before they get better... Marilyn Majors is a Maxim, New York native. Successful, persistent, and results-driven, she specializes in picking up sinking ship companies and turning them into nautical gold stars. She's sacrificed her life and heart to the gods of ambition. But when she meets a hardworking man with the charisma, enthusiasm, and acumen to take him places, she's intrigued in a way she simply can't shake loose, although she tries - for society would deem the crude, lowly Dean way outside of her league... Sparks fly, resistance is futile, and in the end, the two forge a tight bond. But are they strong enough together to withstand the storm? Will they eventually make a way out of no way? Through heartbreak, betrayal, friendship, mammoth challenges, and unstoppable passion, time will tell if this is a love worth keeping.
