His Rules Were Made for Breaking

He has rules for everything. She has a talent for making him forget every single one.

Roman Calder is untouchable.

As captain of the Breakwater Blades, he lives by discipline, keeps his private life locked down, and never lets anyone get close enough to become a weakness. He learned the hard way that trusting the wrong people can cost more than he can afford.

Then June Bell walks into his life with a crooked smile, a crumbling ice rink, and absolutely no intention of following his rules.

June is sunshine with a stubborn streak. She’s determined to save the community rink she loves—even when mounting bills, suspicious repair records, and a looming shutdown threaten everything she’s fighting for.

Roman only agrees to help because the rink once gave his family a place to belong. He expects a few appearances, a little fundraising, and a clean exit.

He doesn’t expect June.

She challenges his authority, sees through his carefully controlled silence, and refuses to mistake his money or fame for a solution. The more he tries to keep things professional, the harder it becomes to ignore the woman who makes him want things he stopped believing he could have.

But the deeper they dig into the rink’s troubled finances, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Loyalty is tested. Old wounds reopen. And Roman must face a choice between protecting the comfortable version of the past and standing up for the people who deserve the truth.

June never asks him to rescue her.

She asks him to show up. To trust her. To stand beside her without trying to take control.

And somewhere between their sharp exchanges, stolen moments, and undeniable chemistry, the untouchable captain begins breaking the rules he built to keep his heart safe.

He falls first. She makes him work for it. And neither of them will walk away unchanged.

Fall for a grumpy hockey captain, a sunshine heroine with a mind of her own, irresistible romantic tension, and a love story where the biggest victory isn’t won on the ice.

Some rules are made to keep you safe. The right woman makes you brave enough to break them.
