Breaking the rules has never tasted so good\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n
How did I end up opening a bakery with my brother\u2019s hockey star best friend?<\/span><\/p>\n Start with one cake disaster, add a dangerously hot pro athlete, and mix in a steamy encounter that definitely wasn\u2019t supposed to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n But when the sexy, single dad hockey player saves me from a cake contest catastrophe, I do something reckless: ask him to go into business with me.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m out of options\u2014no loan, no backup plan\u2014and this bakery is my last chance to prove I\u2019m more than my past mistakes.<\/span> Not that Corbin makes it easy.<\/span> When we find a box of old love letters tucked inside a bakery cupboard, suddenly, our story feels just as risky\u2014and just as impossible to resist.<\/span><\/p>\n Maybe some rules are meant to be broken. No matter the cost to our dreams.<\/b><\/p>\n Find Just Breaking the Rules<\/em><\/strong> on GOODREADS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Just Breaking The Rules (#1)<\/strong> – (Mabel & Corbin) Just Playing for Keeps (#2)<\/strong> – (Remy & Lake) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n A #1 New York Times Bestselling, #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling, and #1 Audible Bestselling author, Lauren Blakely is known for her contemporary romance style that\u2019s cute but spicy.
