Life is full of an endless supply of exciting possibilities for Marco Puglia.

No Turning Back, A Breaking the Rules Novel

2021

From USA Today bestselling author A. M. Madden comes a second-chance, surrogate stand-alone romance that tests love through an unexpected detour. Helping people is what I do best. I’ve made a career around it and dedicated my adult life to it. So, when my two best friends decided to start a family but weren’t able to conceive, it made total sense for me to become their surrogate. Once I pleaded my case, and they finally agreed, I moved from New Jersey to Florida, excited for a much-needed change. But no one could’ve predicted crossing paths with the love of my life, the one who’d left years earlier, the one man I never got over. Ryder Carter. Despite how much we’d loved one another, life happened and circumstances pulled us apart. But he was back now, in Florida, single and still as gorgeous as ever. Even better, he wanted to pick up where we had left off. He wanted me. Ryder appearing when he did couldn’t have come at a worse time. Because, even as just a surrogate, I had to wonder: Would he still want me when he learned I was pregnant with another man’s baby? Would he wait out the nine months to be with me? And even more important, how could I ask him to? Not Turning Back is book 4 in the Breaking the Rules Series and meant for a mature reading audience.
