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.

One of my new roommates is the tall, tattooed stranger from my one-night stand on Halloween. * SHUTOUT is the second book in the Rules of the Game Series and can be read as a complete standalone.

Nash Richards was my first everything. First boyfriend, first time, first love. First heartbreak, too. In a former life, I used to religiously attend Lakeside U's hockey games.

THAYER I thought inventing a boyfriend would help get me out of trouble, but it landed me in more. My little white lie put me in the crosshairs of Bennett Bradford. Satan in a suit. He might be easy on the eyes, but he's rough on the heart. I learned that one the hard way. Suddenly, there's a gigantic rock on my left ring finger that's as fake as our relationship—but our chemistry is all too real. At least there's no risk of me falling for him... right?

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.
