After Kaiden Reaper, Melissa O'Donnell, and Aiden Reaper, there was one more member of this dysfunctional family that called the Shadows his own.
Born and raised as a replacement for Kaiden, Braeden Carmichael spent his entire life living in the shadow of a brother he never even knew, with a mother who couldn't care less that he existed and a father who only cared about his wife.
Was it any wonder he quickly fell off the deep end?
But Braeden wasn't always a Yankee with a bad attitude and a penchant for objectifying women. Once, he was just a little boy with a mischievous streak and a college couple for parents.
If only life hadn't been so cruel.
