Breaking
the Rules Series #4
Publication Date: November 24, 2014
***Mistake is book four in the Breaking the Rules series, but can be read as a standalone.***
Opal Redding has led a life
full of mistakes. She left home at an early age to pursue a dream and follow
her sister to the big city. Unfortunately, that dream turned into a nightmare
when she landed in the clutches of the evilest and vilest of men.
Luckily, she escaped.
Now, four years later, Opal
has buckled down and focused on never making mistakes that hurt her or those
around her ever again. She went after her college degree and the sexy
investment banker, Trent Sutton.
For four long years, she cultivated
their friendship in hopes of, one day, running off into the sunset with her
prince.
As graduation nears, Trent
finally notices her as a desirable woman and not just a friend. All of her hard
work is finally paying off. The white picket fence and two point five kids are
within her grasp.
Until she meets him.
Thad Sutton lives in the
shadow of his brother. Fresh out of rehab with a hopeful outlook on life, Thad
meets Opal and is drawn to her more than any drug ever could. But is she toxic
to his recovery?
When Opal is faced with a
decision between two brothers, the right choice and the awful choice, she finds
her resolve to have a perfect life begin to falter.
Will she choose the right
path? Or will she make the biggest mistake of her life?
The
way she tastes has been seared into my memory.
I take my time exploring her mouth with mine. Knowing that, if I don’t quit now, I’ll only
want more, I decide to break away from our kiss. She surprises me, though. When her delicate hands grasp each side of my
face along my jaw, she pulls me closer.
This time, she eagerly meets my tongue with hers. Her moan is soft and telling—telling me that
she wants me as badly as I want her. Finally, she wrenches away from me,
panting, and begins to pace the room nervously.
“Thad,
what are you doing here?”
“I
told you I came to see you, but clearly, you were expecting someone else.” I sound like a fucking pussy, but I’m hurt
that she’s not all dolled up for me. If
I weren’t worried about ruining her perfect living room, I’d plant a fist right
through the wall—I know exactly who she’s all dressed up for.
Last night meant nothing to her.
Her
lips form a pout and I can see that she feels guilty. But when her eyes glance over at the front
door and then back over at me, I know I’ve lost.
“Thad,”
she frowns. She doesn’t have to say the
words. I already know.
“Have
fun with Trent. It looks like he’s
taking you somewhere special,” I mutter angrily. Then I stalk toward the door, eager to get
away from her blatant rejection.
“Wait.”
With
my hand on the doorknob, I turn to regard her with a questioning look. Her eyes are brimming with tears.
“I’m
sorry. In another life, Thad. I just can’t.”
I
shake my head in disappointment as I open the door. “Tell me, Opal. Can’t or won’t?”
She
bites her lip but doesn’t make a move toward me. Her choice is made.
“There
is something there and you goddamn know it.”
I pause a moment before snapping out the last of my piece. “And you’ll
realize it when you’re with Trent but thinking about me.”
I love my
husband of 11 years and sweet kids. My passions include reading, writing,
graphic design, and shopping! I absolutely love social media and the power of
how it connects people all over the world. You can usually find me easily on
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Goodreads!
