‘Sometimes, life breaks your heart.’ The idea was simple enough. Lock myself away for the summer, devour copious amounts of chocolate, and listen to 80s power ballads, all the while mastering a list that would help me completely reinvent myself to my friends back home. Welcome to Operation Summer Fun: Get drunk, party hard, and lose my virginity! But when the sound of piercing power tools drowned out my power ballads, my chocolate stash was devoured by tradies, and just when things couldn’t get any worse and all hope was lost… there was Rex Shervington. Eighteen-year-old Lola Kudrow has always followed the rules. But when her world is shattered by the ultimate betrayal, she flees the small town gossip and seeks refuge at her sister’s house in the city. With only a few weeks to reinvent herself before the dreaded Valedictory ball, her plan is clear: It’s time to break some rules. The one thing that definitely isn’t a part of her plan is living on a building site, especially with the likes of Rex, the snarky, gorgeous builder who sleeps on the lounge room couch—the very same builder who accidently discovers her mortifying list of rules to be broken. Operation Summer Fun is in full swing, and what could be more fun than a willing accomplice? Rex Shirvington is definitely no stranger to breaking the rules. And in the course of a few hot summer nights, he’s going to help Lola break them all.
