ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 27, 2025
She was never supposed to be mine.
Walking away was the only acceptable decision.
It was just one night. Two lonely souls finding solace in the one place we shouldn’t have—my bed.
I thought once would be enough, but leaving her is my biggest—maybe my only—regret.
Now, I’m back and seeing the results of that night is killing me.
I’ll make it up to her. I have to. Because I’ve never loved anyone else.
Because I’d rather die than break her heart a second time.
But when duty calls, I swore an oath to listen.
And I know…
There will be no coming back this time.

REVIEW: OATHBREAKER is the fifth and final instalment in the contemporary, adult GAMEBREAKERS erotic, romance series focusing on a tight knit group of friends held together but a common loss, co-authored by Kat Mizera and Elise Faber. This is US Marine and Special Ops agent Colt Blackwood, and single mother Briar Dash’s story line. OATHBREAK can be read as a stand alone but for backstory and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as each instalment builds towards the series finale. Briar is Hudson Dash’s sister DEALBREAKER #3.
NOTE: For followers of the authors, there is a slight cross over with Elise Faber’s EAGLES HOCKEY / OAK RIDGE VINEYARD series.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Colt and Briar) OATHBREAKER follows in the wake of the return of Colt Blackwood, a man long thought dead and lost. Approximately five years earlier, Colt Blackwood reenlisted, doing one final op for the US Marines but our hero disappeared without a trace, and was declared dead by the US government. Fast forward to present day, Colt’s return comes with mixed feelings and emotions for everyone, especially for the woman he has never stopped loving. Briar Dash had been struggling to move on with her life, but eventually would find a new man to love, preparing for a future with someone else but Colt’s return sends everyone into a spiral, even his best friends are struggling with his perceived secrets and lies.
The world building focuses on the return of Colt Blackwood, and the rebuilding relationships and friendships in the wake of grief and lost. Perceived betrayal sits at the root of his broken friendships, but none more-so than his love for a woman who has moved on with her life.
The relationship between Colt and Briar is one of second chances in the face of shock and anger. Colt is hoping to restart with the woman he has never stopped loving but Briar is struggling with five years of loss. The chemistry between our couple remains strong but the heartbreak and hurt may be too large to overcome. The sex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, familiar and determined secondary and supporting characters including the return of all of the previous story line couples. We are introduced to professional hockey player and Banks teammate West McGregor, whose story continues in CHASING LOVE (PUCKS AND PENALTIES #2).
OATHBREAKER is a story of secrets and lies, perceived betrayal and heart break, loss and grief, family and friendships, forgiveness and love. The character driven premise is emotional, dramatic and edgy; the romance is fated and passionate; the characters are desperate, dynamic and a little bit broken.
