Breaking Barriers by Nikki A. Lamers is a steamy, emotionally charged romance about one unexpected night, a surprise pregnancy, and the slow, breathless unraveling of two guarded hearts. One night. That’s all it was supposed to be—hot, wild, and over. But when Alex returns months later, pregnant and hiding behind carefully built walls, Declan realizes fate isn’t finished with them yet. He hasn’t stopped thinking about her. Now that she’s back, he’s not letting go without a fight. Alex has always kept control. Since losing her mom, she’s depended on her brother Aidan and no one else. Declan threatens all of that. He makes her feel things she doesn’t want to feel—things that could shatter the life she’s worked so hard to protect. She turns to Aidan for help, hoping to keep her distance. But Declan is relentless. He wants more than a place in their child’s life—he wants her. Every touch, every stolen kiss chips away at her resolve. And the more she pushes, the harder he pulls. As past wounds resurface and passions ignite, Alex must cling to the safety of what she’s always known—or risk it all on the one man who just might break through her barriers and show her what love is supposed to feel like. Breaking Barriers is a heartfelt, spicy romance about healing, trust, and the kind of love that burns through fear—and refuses to be forgotten.
