The Dixon Rule

The second installment in the steamy and entertaining Campus Diaries series by New York Times bestselling author Elle Kennedy unfolds within the same universe as Off Campus and Briar U. Diana Dixon faces a busy summer, balancing ballroom dance competition rehearsals, two jobs, and an ex-boyfriend who refuses to acknowledge their breakup. Amidst this chaos, she finds time to express her irritation with Shane Lindley, the new resident in her apartment building, who appears intent on engaging romantically with her entire cheerleading squad. Although Shane is a striking hockey player, he's intruding on Diana's space. Thus, she sets some boundaries: no parties at her place, stay away from her teammates, and most crucially, keep his distance from her. Unknown to Diana, Shane is also weary of casual flings and recovering from a breakup with his long-time girlfriend. Keen on genuine connection, he decides to masquerade as being in a relationship to make his ex jealous, and who better to cast than his spirited neighbor, Diana? Reluctant to breach her rules, Diana sees the advantages of a pretend relationship for her own ex-boyfriend woes, and soon, undeniable chemistry sparks between her and Shane. This unexpected and intense connection starts to feel all too real.
