The Forever Rule A small town, second chance romance
Blakely meets Aston Cage, and a single dance leaves them both fully committed. Then he stops answering her, and her boss fires her for dancing with a Cage, the family he treats as the enemy. Three months on, with no other options, she takes a job working for the Cages.
That puts her beside Aston every day. She tries to keep her feelings in check, and the arrangement feels like heaven and hell at once. She also begins to suspect there is something about his silence she has not been told.
Aston chose to walk away after news of his family's private scandal broke. His father kept a secret second family, and the Cage brothers now share monthly dinners with the siblings they never knew they had. Those dinners are the condition for keeping their inheritance.
Blakely is the best friend of Aston's new sister, which raises the cost of giving in to what he feels. Told from both their points of view, this small town second chance romance turns on whether Aston can prove he deserves another chance.
