The French Breed - Kelly James S.

In 19th-century Austria, two brothers were bound by blood but divided by destiny. Max, the charming second son, is overshadowed by his older brother Joe, destined to inherit their father's title. Max's brilliance and wit often go unnoticed as he struggles to find his place in a world where only the firstborn matters.

Amidst political upheaval and looming war, Max's life is filled with tension, betrayal, and desire. His sharp humor and romantic entanglements push him further from those closest to him, while his yearning for power grows. Maximus: A Brother's Legacy is a captivating story of rivalry, ambition, and the cost of living in someone else's shadow. Will Max ever claim the legacy he craves, or will he remain the forgotten second son?
