Locker Room Rules - Book 1
He’s the reason the rule exists. She’s the one who might break it.
When room assignments drop, Avery Walsh, coach’s daughter and secretly the brain behind RU’s offense, finds out she’s sharing an off-campus duplex with her worst on-ice rival. Star winger Luca Romano has a grin that sells jerseys and a reputation for wrecking locker rooms, and now he’s brushing his teeth in her bathroom and leaving his gear in her hallway. The team’s one big rule is simple: no distractions. Living with Luca is one long distraction.
Then a rumor hits the press. It questions Luca’s leadership and drags Avery’s name into the mess, threatening their season and his captaincy. To calm the media storm and protect the team, they agree to a fake-dating truce for the cameras. Strictly PR, strictly temporary, strictly “no real feelings.” Easy enough…until road-trip hotels only have one bed, late-night video sessions turn into inside jokes, and the chemistry they’re faking off the ice makes their game smoother on it.
As the playoffs close in, the line between “pretend” and “real” keeps blurring. Avery has spent years staying invisible to keep the focus on the team, but Luca sees every angle: her sharp hockey brain, her soft heart, and the way she looks at him when she thinks he’s not watching. To win the title, and her trust, he has to prove he’s not just playing for the highlight reel anymore. He’s all in on her.
Book 1 in the Locker Room Rules series. Each book follows a new couple with crossover characters and can be read as a standalone.
