Beth Burnham is in a lot of financial trouble. She can't pay her bills and her house is falling down in ruins around her. Sure, she's a lawyer, but she's stuck with this dump of a house and a tiny solo practice that consists mostly of helping people out. When she goes to beg work from the fancy law firm in town, she is horrified to find herself begging work from the man she'd stood up years ago. She'd almost run away with him to the big city, trying to escape her nagging mother and a dead-end life, but she'd chickened out, believing that someone like her didn't deserve a better life. But what now?

Miles from Home - Max and Harvey Mills Fan Fiction
Avery Burke's heartless mother suddenly uproots them from California to begin anew in England, forcing Avery to figure things out, alone, on the other side of the pond. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with Max and Harvey will change Avery's life, forever. It's the quintessential story of two career-minded and career-driven young adults trying to figure out a healthy work-life balance; how they really feel about the other person; and how the other might fit into their own life, if at all. One wrong misstep may end with one of their careers in total ruin, or both of theirs, entirely. Will they be forced to choose between success within their careers, or a successful relationship? - - - After nearly a full year of meticulous research (especially in the effort to more accurately portray both of Max's and Harvey's idiosyncrasies, behaviors, and, even, their word choices and speech patterns), dozens of rough drafts, and hundreds of revisions later, it has finally been released as a single, completed book comprised of eight chapters. You won't want to miss this serious, first attempt at a realistic, worthwhile Max and Harvey Mills fan fiction. - - - Author's Note: I'm still quite new to Wattpad, so please follow, share, vote, comment, and add, because any support you can give is greatly appreciated and will help spur me to continue writing. - - - #1 maxandharveyofficial 12-22-25 #1 maxlucamills 12-22-25 #1 teamharvey 12-22-25 #1 teammax 12-22-25 #1 millsies 12-22-25 #1 maxmillsfanfic 9-22-22; 11-24-25; 2-21-26 #1 millsies 9-27-22; 12-22-25 #1 harveymillsfanfic 9-27-22; 2-21-26Complete
