The Rules(New)
Katherine Dominique Anunciacion is a delinquent by choice. Hardened by betrayal and abandoned by the one person she loved the most-her mother-she built walls of rebellion around herself. After her mother walked away and left her in the hands of her father and his new wife-the woman she despised-Katherine vowed never to be weak again.
To make her father regret everything, she became exactly what he disapproved of. A troublemaker. A rebel. A problem he couldn't control. Because if he truly cared, he wouldn't have let their family shatter in the first place.
But even a father's patience has limits. Given one last chance-either she straightens up or learns to survive on her own-Katherine finds herself at a crossroads. Independence sounds tempting, but she isn't ready to give up the life of privilege she's always known.
So, she makes a choice. This time, instead of being the outcast, she plays a new role. A nerd. Someone invisible. Someone good. Anything to keep her place in her father's world.
But then she meets him.
Ice Uno Torres. Loud. Overbearing. Annoyingly persistent. A prince in his own right.
No matter how much she tries to bury her true self, Ice has a way of bringing it to the surface. Her irritation. Her violence. Her fire.
She built walls to keep everyone out, but Ice is determined to break through them.
She made a rule: trust no one but herself.
He made one too: make her fall-hard.
The question is... who will break first?
