About This Book
In 'The Rules for Breaking,' Anna Boyd's life, once protected by the Witness Protection program, is thrown into chaos when a dangerous adversary, Thomas, resurfaces. He uses Anna in a high-stakes game with a drug cartel, threatening her younger sister and boyfriend. Anna is forced to make difficult choices and team up with unlikely allies to protect her loved ones and reclaim her freedom. The story explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the complexities of trust when enemies are hidden in plain sight. While the publisher age range is 4-11, the mature themes of crime, peril, and romance make it more suitable for readers aged 9 and up.
