Racial Tensions Flare as Hot as the Passion in RULE BREAKER,
a Modern-day Romeo and Juliet Story Leilani Kealoha wants to be set free. Of family expectations. Of generations of prejudice. Chafing at rules made by the proud Hawaiian men in her family, she yearns to discover herself and hungers to explore the world. Her adventuresome heart? Longs for something even greater, deeper. The last thing she expects is an East Coast haole surfer to hold the key to everything. Mason Price is done walking his parents’ path. Done with social acceptance—with cold politics. On a surfing quest to reinvent himself, Mase finds an exotic beauty standing on his towel. But it’s her feisty bargaining that catches him off guard. When he challenges her with a “Truth or Shots” drinking game, she unwittingly reveals more than she’d intended about herself…and him. The raw truth stuns him: She’s suffered like he has, is lost like he is—keeps secrets like he does. But will young love and shared situations be enough to conquer racial and cultural divides? Lines in the sand…were meant to be crossed. ***RULE BREAKER is a standalone, full-length new adult romance told in dual POV. Due to mature themes and adult language, this book is for those 18 and older.***
Leilani Kealoha sometimes feels like she’s trapped. Trapped by tradition and trapped by circumstance. The only time she feels free is in the water. She loves the pure euphoria of catching a wave and letting it take her away from all of her troubles.
So when her brother asks her to help him recruit Mason Price to represent his custom made sailboards in competition, she has no idea that he will be the one to challenge everything she knows about life and love. In slow motion, greater understanding sank in. I forced out a shaky breath, admitting to myself why my sex drive had blown off the charts. Not only because of who he was versus who I was. And not as simple as his chemistry meshing with mine. It was because he was here— and wasn’t supposed to be. He wanted me and shouldn’t. Yeah, I wanted him too… but couldn’t.
Mase is used to attention. His natural talent on the waves and golden good looks are a beacon for beach bunnies everywhere.
The trappings of professional surfing don’t appeal to him at all. He’s not in it for the money or even the girls. He’s in it because the solitude of the perfect blue-green wave helps him forget the pain of his childhood and that makes the risk worth it - even if it’s just for a moment. But when he meets Lani, he knows instantly that he has to discover everything about this beautiful Hawaiian girl. She’s both a mystery and a wide open book. And if she would just trust in his heart, she would see that they had the power to overcome the past and any obstacle that the outside world could ever place in their path – together. “I see you.” I stared hard at her, not moving a muscle.
