The Rule Breaker

Isabella A rebound. That's all I was looking for. A fresh start, a clean slate, and maybe a little distraction to get my ex out of my head. What I didn't expect was my roommate pushing me right into Ryan Reed-hockey team captain, and oh... my brother's best friend. Avoiding him becomes impossible when I'm stuck seeing him every day thanks to my internship with my dad... who also happens to be Ryan's coach. And then came the late-night talks. The flirting. The lines we promised we wouldn't cross. It was supposed to be a one-time thing. Now I'm in way too deep, and falling for the one guy I was never supposed to touch. Ryan Being the captain of the hockey team and the younger brother of a hockey legend comes with a lot of pressure. Which turns into the longest dry spell I've had in a while. But then I meet her. Isabella Hayes. Smart. Sexy. So damn tempting. But her brother's my best friend. Her dad is my coach. And I've been warned to stay far, far away. Getting involved with Isabella is a disaster waiting to happen-especially when she deserves someone who can offer her more than casual fling. But when I find out she wants a rebound, I tell myself I can do this. Just once. No strings. But once turns into twice. Twice turns into three times. And soon I can't even remember what it's like to be away from her. Her brother would never forgive me if he found out. Her dad would kill me. But I can't stop. And I sure as hell don't want to.

"I trust you with my life. Now I'm trusting you with my daughter." Those were my father's words the day he ruined my life by assigning me a bodyguard. So, I had a few hate notes left for me, and my car was vandalized. It's not a big deal. Not big enough to deserve him , anyway... Denver Layne. A brooding, ex-special forces, six foot something wall of muscle who acts like having fun is a federal offense. He says he's here to protect me. I say he's here to ruin my life. The giant brute barely speaks, unless it's to bark reminders about his sacred duty to keep me safe. And he watches every man who comes near me like he's plotting their slow and painful demise. At this rate I won't have a social life to return to. I need to get rid of the overbearing hulk. Fast. It shouldn't be that hard. Not as hard as the grumpy, infuriating brute himself, who pins me against a wall one day, breathing fire when I break one of his stupid rules. My father thinks this is a good idea. But if I'm going to survive? I'm going to break every single one of Denver's rules. And I'll enjoy every second of it. (Perfect for fans of forced proximity billionaire romance, with high stakes, steamy tension, with an older grumpy hero, and a strong, smart heroine who loves to tease him with snarky banter.)
