Maddox
Hockey is the only thing I care about.
Not college. Not making friends. And definitely not Kayden—the annoyingly sunny teammate determined to get under my skin. I've learned the hard way that trusting people only gets you hurt.
But Kayden doesn't back off. The more I push him away, the harder he is to resist.
What if he's worth breaking my rules for?
Kayden College life was supposed to be the best time of my life.
Instead, I'm one failed exam away from losing my scholarship. The last person I expect to lean on is Maddox—the surly goalie who barely tolerates my existence.
The more I see behind his walls, the less I want to walk away.
What if he's the one person worth risking everything for?

~~Maddox Rocher~~ ~~Hockey is the only thing I care about. College? Hell no. And the last thing I need is Kayden, a golden retriever teammate who thinks I'm gonna drop my surly attitude and become his BFF. I know from painful experience to never let my guard down, and the only rule I follow is my own. But unlike everyone else, Kayden doesn't sprint away from me. Instead, he's skating too close. And we're set to collide.~~ ~~Kayden Melnyk~~ ~~I love college. My hockey team, the parties, the people. Classes, not so much. Especially when I get paired with Maddox, a goalie who offers nothing but snarky comments and snide looks. He's brilliant and beautiful, and I'm the jock on an athletic scholarship. He hates me but so what? We're stuck together at away games. His anger sparks a reckless want I've never felt before. And I always follow the rules. So why does Maddox make me want to break every one?~~ ~~Rule Breaker is a double queer awakening, grumpy/sunshine, hurt/comfort, college hockey MM romance. Contains a bonus novella, Game Changer.~~
