Break the Rules

She's my best friend's kid sister.

Now she's not a kid any more.




As a forest ranger, I believe in the simple life. I prefer cabins to apartments, trails over freeways, and trees to people. My life is orderly, predictable, and quiet.




Until it's hit by a woman I never saw coming -- Hurricane June.




She's fierce. She's feisty. She has a laugh like the first day of spring, and she's so pretty that I can't breathe when I look at her. June will only be in town for a few months-just while job-hunting. She won't last until winter, but how can I resist?




Except I have to. She's my best, oldest, and most loyal friend's baby sister.




Betraying him would be the worst thing I've ever done. Not betraying him might be the hardest.




Especially once we start working together on a secret project. All this spending time together, sneaking around at night, and lying to her brother about what we're doing sure feels like more than friendship.




June might break my heart.

Her brother might break my nose.




But I guess some things were made to be broken.
