My Broken RulesIsabella Hayes doesn't believe in love — she believes in rules. One night, no names that matter, gone by sunrise. It's kept her safe for six years, until a stranger named Julian breaks every instinct she has to disappear before morning.She thinks it's over. Then he walks into her boardroom as the client behind the biggest deal of her career — and the one night she swore meant nothing starts to feel like everything.But Julian has a family legacy pulling him toward a marriage that isn't hers, and Bella has a wound that taught her love always leaves first. Between them: a mark neither can explain, an old family legend about fate, and one rule about to be broken for good.One night was supposed to be the whole point. He was the exception she never saw coming.

She needed money to save her mother's life. He needed a wife to save his empire. Emily Carter is an ER nurse with $412 to her name and a mother who won't survive without surgery she can't afford. William Hart is a billionaire with three children who've already driven away every nanny in the city — and a growing list of enemies who smell weakness in a widower raising them alone. His offer is simple: marry him for eighteen months, save her mother's life, and walk away with more money than she's ever seen. No feelings. No real marriage. Just a contract, and three kids who are testing her to see how fast she'll run. But the deeper Emily gets pulled into William's world, the more she realizes the danger circling his family is closer — and more personal — than either of them knew. And the more nights she spends in that house, the harder it becomes to remember which parts of their marriage were supposed to be fake. Some contracts are written to be broken. This one might just save them both — if it doesn't get them killed first.
