About the book
Maddox Rocher: Hockey is my one true passion. I couldn't care less about college. And the last thing I want is Kayden, my teammate with a golden retriever personality, trying to be best buds. I've learned the hard way to always keep my guard up and I live by my own rules. But Kayden is different from others, he doesn't run away from me. Instead, he's getting closer and we're on a collision course.
Kayden Melnyk: College life is everything to me. I love my hockey team, the parties, the people. Classes, not so much. Especially when I have to work with Maddox, a goalie who only gives me snarky remarks and dirty looks. He's smart and attractive, while I'm just a jock on a sports scholarship. He may hate me, but we're forced to be together during away games. His anger ignites a desire in me that I've never felt before. I always play by the rules. So why does Maddox make me want to break them all?
Rule Breaker is a college hockey MM romance that explores a double queer awakening, featuring a grumpy/sunshine dynamic and hurt/comfort themes.
