BAD LAD
READING AGE 16+
A boy on the path to destruction.
A girl without escape.
A love story of secrets, pain and hope.
Since her mother's death, Kate has had to take on many roles, and she's not yet eighteen.

The Angels ride back into town led by Graves “Baby” Barger. Kate's uncle. The result of the equation: Angels of Mafra plus Chris is foolishly simple, and it’s not joy.
