The Rules We Broke

De: Jennifer Peel

Narrado por: Stephanie Rose

The rules broke them...but some loves are meant to last.

Ellie Eaton and Brady Jackson were never supposed to fall in love. Their families made sure of that—with rules and grudges that split not just them, but their entire hometown. Still, despite the warnings and the fallout they know is coming, Ellie and Brady forge a forbidden friendship—one that blossoms into a once-in-a-lifetime romance.

But just as they are ready to leave for college and start a life of their own, everything unravels. Illness, deception, and long-buried secrets tear them apart, leaving heartbreak in their wake and silence between them.

Now, ten years later, a near tragedy brings Ellie and Brady back together in the town that once drove them apart. Despite their long separation and the hurt that still lingers, the love between them is impossible to ignore. And this time, they’re not alone—unlikely allies are rooting for their reunion. But not everyone is happy to see them back together.

With old wounds reopened and new truths revealed, they’ll have to decide: Can love rewrite the past? Or will the rules that broke them once...break them again?

USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Peel delivers a poignant tale about the beauty of young love and the hope of second chances.

Previously published as House Divided. Revised with a brand–new epilogue.

Second chance, forbidden love

Jennifer always does a fantastic job - but this book was extra special. I loved the family drama, the MMC’s perseverance, and the undeniable love between Emmie and Brady. 🩷🩷

Perfection!

This book is an update of House Divided. It was my first exposure to Jennifer Peel and I’ve been an addict ever since. I have consumed her books. She could write the dictionary and I’d read it. She immediately became an auto-buy for me. And for good reason.

I have read every single story. Loved every single story. But it all goes back to this beauty. I will have such tender feelings for these two for as long as I live. The updated story was so sweet and brought me back to where it all began. Perfection!!

The audiobook was incredible! Stephanie Rose did such a phenomenal job!
