The Summer of Broken Rules by K. L. Walther (Paperback)

In the wake of her sister Claire's passing eighteen months ago, Meredith Fox withdrew from the world, shutting out everyone around her. Now, determined to embrace life again, she sets her sights on joining the annual family vacation to Martha's Vineyard.

With the entire extended family gathering for a momentous summer wedding, Meredith sees this as an opportunity to reconnect and heal. Despite being unexpectedly single after a recent breakup, she eagerly anticipates participating in the beloved Fox family tradition—the game of assassin that unfolds during the wedding festivities. For Meredith, this is more than a game; it's a chance to honor her sister Claire, who always cherished this tradition.

However, when Meredith forms an alliance with a charming groomsman, her focus on the game starts to waver. Battling distraction and unexpected emotions, she attempts to stay true to the game and win it for her sister. Yet, as the week progresses, Meredith discovers that the stakes are not only about triumphing in the game but also about guarding her own heart. Love unexpectedly enters the picture, and Meredith finds herself at risk of losing not just the game but also her heart in the process.
