Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.
Some rules shouldn’t be broken.
June is one of them, and I know it.
Break the Rules, an all-new
hilarious, brother’s best friend romance from Roxie Noir, is available now!
As a forest ranger, I believe in the
simple life. I prefer cabins to apartments, trails to 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.

Excerpt
I like this side
of Levi. It’s a side I’ve only ever seen glimpses of before in the past two
weeks — sweet, slightly goofy, teasing and funny, different from the serious,
quiet man I thought he was. It’s a strange revelation, but a good one, even if
I wish I liked it less.
“One minute,” I
tell him, and pull back from the window.
I shut it. I
pull the curtains closed.
I wonder what I’m doing and why on earth Levi has
shown up beneath my bedroom window at twelve-thirty in the morning. I wish that
the sight of him down there had made me feel differently, that I was
indifferent and vaguely curious instead of suddenly buzzing and feeling like
I’m being lifted aloft by several large birds.
I tiptoe down
the stairs and through the living room, still wondering. I haven’t heard from
him at all since we ate pizza in the back of his truck two nights ago, and I
wish that didn’t bother me. I wish I thought less about him sitting there, as
night fell, laughing and showing me his cell phone or telling me that he’s an
alien.
I wish I thought
less about him, period.
When I get
outside, Levi’s leaning against his truck, his shoulder-length hair out of its
usual knot.
I’m
not sure I remember seeing him with his hair down before. He looks different.
Relaxed. Like himself.
“I named the
dog,” he says as I walk up to him.
I
don’t know what I was expecting him to say, but that wasn’t it.
“You do know
that the last time a man came to my window, I called my brother to get rid of
him,” I say. “I’m sure he told you about that.”
“He certainly
did,” Levi said. “And if I were in my right mind, it might have deterred me.”
“You’re in your
wrong mind, then?” I ask, tilting my head slightly, keeping my voice down.
“You didn’t ask
what I named the dog,” he says.
“Did you come
here at twelve-thirty in the morning to tell me you named your dog?” I ask.
Levi smiles, holds out one hand. I step
forward and take it, his skin warm and he enfolds my fingers in his.
“No,” he says. “I
came here to say that I think you should come back to my place for a nightcap.”
“A nightcap?”
“Yes,” he says.
“I’d like to take you home, fix you a drink, and seduce you, and I’d like to do
it without thinking even once of your brother.”
About Roxie
I love writing sexy, alpha men and the headstrong women
they fall for.
My weaknesses include: beards, whiskey, nice abs with
treasure trails, sarcasm, cats, prowess in the kitchen, prowess in the bedroom,
forearm tattoos, and gummi bears.
I live in California with my very own sexy, bearded, whiskey-loving
husband and two hell-raising cats.
