The Rules We Break

London Ever After, Book 1

By: Kendall Ryan

Narrated by: Shane East, Stella Bloom

Nora knows better than to play with fire—especially when it wears a tailored suit and has a British accent.

She came to London for a fresh start—to escape a controlling ex, prove herself on her own terms, and lead the redesign of the iconic Belmont Hotel.

Then she meets Xander Hale.

British tech CEO. Brilliant. Brooding. And utterly obsessed with her.

When Nora turns him down, he does what any morally gray billionaire would do.

He buys her company.

It should terrify her.

It does terrify her.

But it also makes her feel something she’s never felt before—wanted. Seen. His.

As sparks turn to wildfire, Nora has to decide if letting Xander in will cost her everything—or give her exactly what she’s never had—a love that fights for her.

A fast-paced, addictive romance featuring a British billionaire who’s never heard of boundaries, a heroine who’s done being controlled, and enough unhinged behavior to keep you up past your bedtime.
