His Father’s Best Friend: I Was Off-Limits. He Crossed the Line.

When college student Noah wrecks his car late one night, the last face he expects in the ER is Marcus his father’s old friend, the quiet, rough-edged mechanic who’s always kept his distance. With no other place to heal, Noah ends up moving into Marcus’s house.

Sharing the same roof stirs what both of them have tried to bury. A glance that lingers too long. A hand brushing past in the kitchen. Marcus tells himself it can’t happen loyalty and guilt keep him locked tight. But Noah, done with hiding, refuses to back down.

Tension builds until one night breaks the fragile line they’ve held. Suddenly, desire isn’t the only thing on the table so are loyalties, family, and the weight of everything they stand to lose.

One house. One broken boundary. One love neither man can forget.

Will they choose fear, or finally admit what’s been there all along?

***

Their story is one of many in Broken Rules, where love burns brightest when it crosses the line.

Some rules aren’t meant to hold.

*Broken Rules* is a bold set of standalone steamy gay romances where age, status, and convention don’t stop desire. Each story dives into forbidden looks, dangerous want, and nights that leave a mark tied together by love that hits hard and won’t let go. Stepbrothers. Bodyguards. Rivals. Billionaires. Men who push past lines and take what they can’t ignore.

For readers who want high heat, raw emotion, and characters who break every rule for love.
