Sara is stuck with her cheating ex-boyfriend in a six-month lease contract. When her annoying and easy on the eye's classmate, Gavin offers her a proposal to ease her predicament, she accepts, wanting to prove that moving on is a piece of cake. 
A fake dating proposition. 5 rules, 6 months, and 7 dates. 
But things and emotions soon spiral out of control as one summer night changes Gavin and Sara's platonic fake dating equation.

"I want to add a sixth rule," I suggested quietly. My thumbnail scratched against the soft pad of my index finger anxiously. Gavin's eyes smoothly followed my movements as he tilted his head, reading my face. 
"I'm all ears," He gave me a heart-wrenching crooked grin, folding his muscular arms across his chest. I gained the courage to meet his inviting soft brown eyes, which were intently reading my expression as I stated my following words carefully.
"No more PDA and no fake kisses," I muttered quietly.
                                                                                              ****

"How many romance books do you read?" Devin asks me. I shrug. "I like them," I say. I keep browsing, running my fingers along the spines. "So, you like romance then?" he asks me. I nod. "What's your favorite part of a love story?" "I like the very first kiss, but I like the second one even more," I say. I bite my lip and look at him. Oh. My. God. What the hell am I doing? Am I flirting? I think that I'm actually flirting. With Devin. Devin, my best friend. I have officially lost my mind. I should probably stop. But I can't seem to. "Will you grab me that one?" I ask. I point above my head, my back's pressed against the bookcase. He locks his gaze on mine and reaches over me to grab the book I asked for. "Thanks." I don't move and neither does he. Riley and Devin have been best friends forever-since Kindergarten. It's Senior year of high school, now. And it's always been simple, Riley's got his back, he's got hers. But as life goes on Riley can't help but wonder if maybe he's not just her best friend, if she likes him as possibly something more. As her feelings deepen and become something greater it becomes more evident that she's falling, really hard. No matter how hard Riley tries she can't stop falling, she can't stop from loving him. Even if it tears her to pieces or even if it destroys their friendship. Pretty soon Riley is going to have to choose between walking the safe line of friendship or taking the unpaved path of love. Will she risk everything for love?

Ryan wasn't expecting to end up with the captain of the hockey team as a roommate, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love. ***** In desperate need of a place to stay, Ryan Winters doesn't see an issue with rooming with the captain of the hockey team, Ethan Russell. After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?
