The hottest summer in decades was not the time for starting new things. Especially new romances. Padma's life was already nicely settled. She didn't need to date anyone. Not even drop-dead gorgeous Jaden from work. But a late Friday night at work opened a door to something between the two of them. Breaking free from the past, their assumptions and forging a new path together, Padma and Jaden face down abusive would-be boyfriends, the trauma of moving and meddling bosses in this F F sweet romance that brings joy with the heat. Breaking Free features a multi-racial romance between a lesbian and a bisexual woman. Readers with issues regarding abuse (parental and dating) should exercise caution.
