Malaise Max Henry

Final exams and end of year parties don't seem so important at your brother's funeral. Two short weeks, and Meg would have survived her senior year relatively unscathed. But when her best and only friend-her brother-dies in a questionable road accident, being the loner in her year doesn't fit as well as it used to. One act of kindness from the man her small town isolated amidst rumors and lies, and her hope for a day where pain won't overwhelm her doesn't seem so far-fetched. Brett Carver is trouble with a capital T, but he's also the only person who can get Meg to let go and smile. Some good things are never meant to last. Arrested for a crime he didn't commit, the man who finally found a way to bring light back to her dark days is ripped away when she needs him most. Determined not to lose the only good thing to have come out of her year from hell, Meg sets out to prove Brett isn't guilty. But first, she must accept the ugly truth ... ... that the people who can prove his innocence are the same people who will do all it takes to keep them apart.
