RULE NUMBER FIVE

To keep herself being distracted from her college education, Sidney King has devised five simple rules for hooking up. No kissing. No exchanging numbers. No dates. No falling in love. And most importantly, no hockey players.

To Sidney, they're arrogant, self-indulgent, and nothing but trouble. And Sidney can't afford any trouble when she's trying to get the best grades in her political science class in order to secure a recommendation letter from her professor, which will then help Sidney land a prestigious government internship.

But the class is more difficult than Sidney anticipated and it's not just because of the course load. Sexy hockey player Jaxton Ryder is in her class—the same Jaxton Ryder she almost hooked up with before she remembered her “no hockey players” rule. And now Jaxton has proposed that they help each other study. Desperate to secure the recommendation letter from her professor, Sidney reluctantly agrees.

As the two spend time together, the burgeoning attraction between them grows stronger and harder to ignore. Eventually, Sidney must admit that there are some rules worth breaking.

RULE NUMBER FIVE is a slow burn New Adult college romance featuring the tropes of “he falls first,” “friends with benefits,” and “mutual pining.”
