BREAKING HER RULES

Nia Bellamy has six rules, and she has kept them for eight years.

Rule one: never touch anything that was Dani's. Dani is her best friend. Ellis Varga was Dani's husband. He is also the man Nia kissed once, and has spent eight years pretending she never did.

Now Ellis is back in Harbor Reach with the money and the patience to buy her building. Her lease has a clause. He'll waive it if she plays his fiancée for ninety days, with public affection only and separate bedrooms.

He means to break every rule she has, one at a time. Slowly. With her permission.

Nia: I made rules so nobody could hurt me. He reads them like a dare.

Ellis: She keeps a list of what she won't give me. I've decided to earn every item on it.

The town is watching, and a rival developer is hunting for the lie. The truth about Dani and about why Ellis really came back could cost them everything.
