Broken

More about the book

You want to know the secret to everlasting happiness? Never fall in love. This wisdom, shared by my father after our mom's death, has served me well—until he asks for a favor over brunch. This isn't just about picking up dry cleaning; Dad wants me to marry and produce heirs for the James empire, even selecting my bride-to-be. Honestly, I'm weary of the dating cycle and the dwindling pool of women I haven't already invited for a sleepover. As a lawyer, I see marriage as a contract between two parties, so what could go wrong? Enter Melanie Edison, a five-foot-four veterinary nurse with a sharp wit and curves in all the right places. I find more joy not dating her than I ever did with anyone else, despite her strict no-sex-before-marriage rule. But when our business arrangement evolves into something deeper, I break my most important rule. That's when everything spirals out of control. I have no idea how to fix the damage done, and I’m uncertain if I even want to return to my old life. Yet, it’s too late; I’ve broken my rule, and in the process, she’s broken me.
