The Rules We Break for Love: Opposites Attract, Single Dad, Doctor-Patient Forbidden, Later in Life Love (The Blue Bay Sweet Small Town Series)

I accidentally humiliated a handsome stranger in the grocery store. Then I found out he’s my new therapist.

After twenty years as a Navy Commander, my new mission is simple: survive civilian life in the small coastal town of Blue Bay. Keep my head down, manage my PTSD, and don't cause a scene.

Naturally, on day three, I cause a catastrophic scene. I accidentally tackle a handsome stranger in the grocery store aisle, covering us both in baking flour, and proceed to verbally tear him apart, calling him a “condescending civilian.”

My humiliation is complete when I show up for my first therapy appointment and realize the "flour guy" is Dr. Theo Cole. My new therapist-doctor.

Theo is calm, patient, and a devoted single dad who stress-bakes when he’s worried. He sees right through my prickly armor to the woman beneath. Despite our strict professional boundaries, the spark between us is undeniable. But when Theo’s vindictive ex-wife discovers our connection, she weaponizes it to threaten custody of his son.

Theo is ready to sacrifice his own happiness to protect his boy. But he’s about to learn that a Navy Commander never abandons her team. I’m done running from my past, and I’m ready to break all the rules to fight for our forever.

The Rules We Break for Love is a sweet, emotional, small-town romance featuring a fierce military heroine, a swoon-worthy single dad and therapist, and a love worth fighting for. Book 3 in the Blue Bay series.
