Breaking His Rules: Hispanic Opposites Attract Steamy Romance

He's a brooding baker who thrives in the quiet dark. She's a sunshine-filled artist painting his world neon pink. When a billionaire developer threatens her fresh start, this gentle giant is about to show the neighborhood exactly what happens when you mess with what's his.

Juan Huertas likes his life exactly the way it is: quiet, predictable, and smelling of yeast. For eleven years, he's carried the weight of his family's panadería on his massive shoulders, working the 3:00 a.m. shift to avoid the noise of the world. He definitely doesn't have time for the highlighter-wearing, pop-music-blasting woman moving into the empty storefront next door.

Destiny Williams is finally building something of her own. After losing her last business to a toxic ex, she's poured every cent she has into Glow, a community art therapy studio. She refuses to let her grumpy, flour-covered neighbor dull her sparkle, even if his scowl makes her want to feed him, and his forearms are the eighth wonder of the world.

When a ruthless real estate developer targets Destiny's lease and sabotages her grand opening, Juan realizes the only thing he hates more than noise is a bully. Suddenly, the solitary baker is stepping out of the shadows to stand between Destiny and ruin. But sharing his kitchen for 3:00 a.m. coffees soon turns into sharing secrets in the dark, and Juan discovers that the only thing more terrifying than losing his quiet is losing her.

Breaking His Rules is a swoony, emotional, opposites-attract Latino romance about found family, fresh starts, and what happens when the neighborhood's biggest protector finally lets someone stand in front of him.
