BREAKING THE RULES Synopsis:
A summer road trip changes everything in this unforgettable new tale from acclaimed author Katie McGarry.
For new high school graduate Echo Emerson, a summer road trip out west with her boyfriend means getting away and forgetting what makes her so . . . different. It means seeing cool sights while selling her art at galleries along the way. And most of all, it means almost three months alone with Noah Hutchins, the hot, smart, soul-battered guy who's never judged her. Echo and Noah share everything--except the one thing Echo's just not ready for.
But when the source of Echo's constant nightmares comes back into her life, she has to make some tough decisions about what she really wants--even as foster kid Noah's search for his last remaining relatives forces them both to confront some serious truths about life, love, and themselves.
Now, with one week left before college orientation, jobs and real life, Echo must decide if Noah's more than the bad-boy fling everyone warned her he'd be. And the last leg of an amazing road trip will turn . . . seriously epic.
Excerpt
There’s nothing like the rush of being chased by the great Noah
Hutchins…
I hold my breath and strain to listen past the late-day birds
singing in the branches above. The fine hair on the back of my neck rises as if
Noah has appeared behind me and deliciously blown over my skin. I close my
eyes. He’s so near I can imagine his body wrapped around mine.
Noah is wily and good at seeking, but I’m crafty and better at
hiding. I edge to the side again and in painfully slow movements look behind me
and…
“Gotcha.”
I scream. Loudly. My heart ramming through my chest. Birds’ wings
beat together as dozens of them take to the sky. The moment I spot the laughter
in Noah’s chocolate-brown eyes, my scream quickly morphs into a fit of giggles.
He reaches for me, but I stumble back from the solid arm attempting to sneak
around my back.
“You’re not getting away this time.” Noah’s deep voice vibrates down
to my soul.
Noah’s arm slides one way and in a maneuver so slick it seems
choreographed, I slip to the side, once again barely dodging his grasp.
“You’re too slow,” I taunt as I gain traction and sprint for the
field of untamed wildflowers. The white-and-yellow daisies brush against my
legs as I push forward. My skirt swishes against my thighs, and I love how the
smooth material grazes my skin. Clean air fills my lungs, and my blood beats
manically in my veins. Never in my life have I felt so alive. So high that I’m
soaring.
“I’m letting you win,” he calls out.
“You are not.” I slow and pivot to watch as he struts behind me. The
tall grass and flowers reach his jean-covered legs. For once, his dark hair
doesn’t hide his eyes, and I love the spark of naughtiness in them. “You’re
sore that you’re losing.”
He flashes the type of grin that encourages tingles. “You’re
becoming cocky, Echo.”
I laugh, and the sound causes his smile to widen. Even though he’s
slow in his approach, his wide gait closes the distance between us faster than
I’d like. I steadily walk backward, unable to tear my eyes off the fluid way he
moves. “Now, now. Out of the two of us, we both know you own that title.”
“Own it, wear it, I am it. I’ve never claimed differently.”
Nope, he never has. Noah is exactly who I see. A few months away
from Kentucky, away from home, the rough foster kid is evolving into a man.
“Hey, Echo.” Noah gestures with his chin that he has something
important to say, and I stall, watching as his gaze falls to my midriff. “Your
tank rode up.”
I peer down and in a heartbeat realize my mistake when grass rustles
and Noah grabs my waist. In a dizzying circle, my arms wrap around his neck and
somehow we both end up on the ground. Me on top. Noah on the bottom. As always,
Noah becomes my safe place to land.
With a wink, Noah rolls us, reversing our positions, but I don’t
complain. I dream of his body over me. The heavy sensation is familiar and
addictive. Noah skims his nose along the side of my neck, and the pleasing
tickle causes me to suck in air.
“I won,” he whispers against my skin.
I find myself in a waking dream as I savor his caresses. “Did not.”
Noah presses a kiss to that sensitive spot behind my ear. A stream
of warmth floods my body. Longing for more, I twist to expose my neck.
“Did, too.” His hands roam, sliding to my side. I melt and tense at
the same time. We’re in the wide open, but I can’t stop the way my body molds
to his. My fingers bunch the material of his shirt as I play with the idea of
removing it. We’re far from the walking trail, far from the campsite. How many
people, besides Noah and me, allow themselves to wander to the point of being
lost?
“You said you could find me in five minutes,” I say softly. “That
was longer than five minutes.”
“Echo,” he says as he raises his head. His fingers begin this little
dance. Moving up then slowly down. Each down is slightly lower and promises
very wicked things.
“Yes?”
“I’ve got you beneath me and not a person in sight. That’s winning.”
A peacefulness unfurls within me. I have to agree. That is winning.
And don’t forget to read the first books in the Pushing the Limits Series…
