Asha Graham has two rules.
Rule number one: Never let anyone tell her she's only Garrett Graham's little sister.
Rule number two: Never apologize for having a good time.
Just like her older brother, Asha thrives on loud music, packed parties, spontaneous road trips, and living every day like it's her last. She works hard, plays even harder, and has built a reputation around Briar University as the life of every party. She's fearless, fiercely loyal, and has a habit of diving headfirst into trouble with a grin on her face.
Relationships?
Those are someone else's problem.
Dean Di Laurentis has spent years convincing everyone-including himself-that he's perfectly happy keeping things casual. He's the guy everyone calls when they want a legendary night out, and the first one to crack a joke when life gets complicated.
Then Garrett's sister crashes into his world.
Asha is bold enough to challenge him, stubborn enough to call him out, and reckless enough to keep him on his toes. What starts as playful competition over who can throw the better party quickly turns into late-night conversations, stolen moments, and undeniable chemistry.
There's just one problem.
Garrett would rather skate barefoot across broken glass than watch his best friend date his little sister.
Keeping their relationship a secret is nearly impossible when their friends notice lingering glances, disappearing acts, and a little too much "accidental" flirting. Between jealous exes, chaotic parties, hockey season, and Garrett's growing suspicion, Asha and Dean find themselves caught between loyalty and love.
For the first time in their lives, walking away seems easier than fighting for each other.
But some risks are worth taking.
And some rules were made to be broken.
A college hockey romance full of witty banter, unforgettable parties, slow-burning chemistry, found family, and a love story that proves even the biggest heartbreakers can fall the hardest.
