Rule Number Fourteen

Nora Johnston has spent five years being good.

Good grades. Good girlfriend. Good future.

She followed her high-school sweetheart to college, built her life around becoming a doctor, and never once questioned the boy she thought she'd marry.

Then she catches him with another girl.

At a party.

On their anniversary weekend.

So, naturally, she ends the night holding hands with the one man her ex hates most.

Zion Montgomery.

Crescent State's tattooed quarterback. Number fourteen. Notorious heartbreaker. Walking PR disaster. And, unfortunately, the kind of man who looks at Nora like being predictable might be the biggest lie she's ever told about herself.

By morning, one blurry photograph has convinced the internet that Nora traded one football captain for another.

Zion needs his reputation cleaned up before his final season puts him in front of professional scouts.

Nora needs everyone to stop looking at her like the pathetic girlfriend who got cheated on.

The solution should be simple.

Three months.
One fake relationship.
Thirteen rules.

No sex.
No jealousy.
No sleeping over.
Kissing only when someone is watching.
And absolutely no feelings.

It should be easy.

Except Nora learns there's more beneath his cocky smile than headlines and touchdowns.

And somewhere between pretending for the cameras and finding excuses to stay when nobody is watching, Nora realizes they made one very stupid mistake.

They only wrote thirteen rules.
They should have written fourteen.
