An addictive college hockey romance. Heartbreaker. Troublemaker. And my ex's biggest rival. After my boyfriend of two years unceremoniously dumps me on my twenty\-first birthday, my friends drag me to a trendy new nightclub to drown my sorrows. Several drinks later, I spot the perfect rebound standing next to the bar: Chase Carter, my ex's worst enemy. A notorious antagonizer, Chase is cocky, smart\-mouthed... and undeniably hot. Even better, he's rumored to be impressively skilled at more than just hockey. What better way to move on? Unfortunately, my plan falls apart after I have one cocktail too many and throw up all over Chase's shoes. Following a night of him taking care of me while I'm at my worst, I'm certain he'll never want to see me again. But the next time our schools face off, he finds me in the crowd after the game—and when we fake a kiss in front of my ex, the sparks that fly are real. Before I know it, we’re having “study dates” and he's taking me out for a do\-over birthday to replace the bad memories with good ones. Beneath his brash exterior, he’s protective and sweet, not to mention generous in every sense of the word. The only problem? We're caught in the midst of a bitter rivalry that extends far beyond the arena. My brother hates him, my friends don't approve, and I'm being forced to choose between my loyalties and my heart. He's the last person I should fall for, but it might just be too late. Offside is a college hockey romance with lots of spice, swoon, and a happily ever after. It’s the first book in the Rules of the Game series and can be read as a standalone. Tropes: boy obsessed ex’s rival cocky hockey hero good girl x bad boy soft for her dual POV Read less

After my life goes sideways in the middle of sophomore year, I'm forced to move in with my older brother and two of his hockey teammates. I'm less than thrilled at the idea of living with three athletes and their stinky gear, their rotating door of hookups, and their tendency to inhale every snack in the house. But when I walk in the front door with an armload of boxes, I'm faced with another problem entirely. Hades. One of my new roomates is the tall, tattooed stranger from my one-night stand on Halloween. \* This is a continuation of the Offside universe, but can be be read as a complete standalone.

Reid No one knows why I transferred mid\-season and if I have my way, that’s how it’ll stay. My only priority is to dominate on the ice and solidify my spot on Seattle’s roster in the pros. As for any 'extracurriculars'? I'd rather take a puck to the face. Everything is on track until my ex\-girlfriend resurfaces, hell\-bent on getting me to forgive the unforgivable. I tell her I've moved on, sparking rumors around campus about my love life… one that doesn’t exist. Just when my excuse is about to backfire, fate delivers the perfect solution. Chloe is every bit as committed to her future as I am, and equally disinterested in dating. But the more time we spend together, the more my defenses start to crumble, and I catch myself noticing things I shouldn't—like how tempting she looks in my jersey. Before I know it, we've gone off script completely, and I'm not sure either of us is faking it anymore. Chloe My plan for senior year is simple: ace the Dental Acceptance Test, graduate with honors, and get into my dream school in New York. Easier said than done with an exhausting course load, waitressing full\-time, and roommates who think every day is Spring Break. I barely have time to think, let alone date. Enter grumpy, closed\-off Reid Holloway. After a case of mistaken identity, we strike a deal: play along as his new girlfriend and I get a quiet place to concentrate on all my work while he gets a buffer from all the unwanted attention. There's just one teeny, tiny catch: Reid is six feet, four inches of toned perfection, and our chemistry is anything but pretend. Before long, we've broken every rule we made. But with graduation looming, our arrangement has an expiration date—and the clock is ticking.
