Breakaway

By: Anastasija White

Narrated by: Ryan Stone, Cindy Harden

He needed a distraction from his nightmares . . . she gave him everything.

When she agreed to go to the club with her friends, the last thing Nevaeh Lawrence expected was to meet Roman Pashkevich, an NHL player with deep turquoise eyes she can't forget.

A year later, Nevaeh's struggling to make sense of her life and a relationship that has her questioning what she wants for her future. The ring she finds makes old memories reappear and pushes her to break up with her boyfriend.

Roman has everything he wants—or so it seems. In reality, his days are filled with guilt and grief, and his nights are full of nightmares that remind him of the loss of his brother.

Unexpected events lead to Nevaeh and Roman going to Vegas together. After getting drunkenly married, Nevaeh's attraction for her accidental husband grows, but unlike her, he's unwilling to start a romantic relationship because of the demons of his past.

Will Nevaeh be able to convince Roman to give their marriage a real chance, or will she have her heart shattered because the man she loves doesn't love her back?

Contains mature themes.

Breakaway isn’t just a hockey romance it’s an emotional communication snafu on skates. When Nevaeh ditches her fake nice guy, but completely toxic ex she jet sets to Vegas. When she wakes up she is accidentally married to broody NHL star, Roman, and sparks fly… eventually. This is a slow burn, emphasis on slow, but once it heats up? 🔥 Worth. The. Wait.

Roman’s got guilt, grief, and a heart buried under layers of icy self-protection. Nevaeh’s done playing small and finally ready to take up space preferably in his apartment. Together, they go from strangers to soulmates with a side of chaos, spicy Russian nicknames, and a whole lot of healing.

Come for the fake marriage, stay for the emotional growth, footnote translations, and a love story that actually earns its happy ending. Just ignore Travis. We all did. Thank you Anastasija White for stepping up your game on this read!
