CHAPTER ONETHE RULEISLAThe first thing I learned about being Asher North’s sister was this:Protection and possession often look the same, and everyone knew my name, but no one ever really saw me.And I liked it that way…. Or at least, I told myself I did.The rink was quieter than usual that night; the sharp scrape of skating shoes against the ice echoed throughout the rink. I was always at my brother's practice and his games; it was one of my favorite things to do… watch him play. And tonight was no different. I watched from the stands as I sketched lazily in my sketchbook, listening as my brother barked orders on the ice. And when it was over, I left with him like I always did—head down, hoodie up, and completely invisible. Except I’d forgotten my sketchbook.I had already gotten to my dorm door the moment I realized it. I groaned softly, turning back toward the rink again. I should've waited, but that book meant more to me than my comfort. When I got to the rink door, I hes

CHAPTER TWOEYES ON ICEISLAThe second time I realized things had changed, it wasn’t because Rowan touched me again. It was because Ellis Grant smiled at me from the ice.I was sitting in my usual seat at their practice, my knees tucked to my chest, sketchbook balanced on my thighs. The rink buzzed with noise, skates cutting ice, pucks slamming into boards, and Asher’s voice and their coach’s voice louder than the rest. You know, it was just the normal flow, the one that made me feel safe. Until Ellis looked up. He was skating backward, listening to Asher bark instructions, when his gaze flicked toward the stands like they were searching for something until they landed on me. His mouth curved into a soft, knowing smile, small enough that no one else noticed.But I did.And that little action disrupted my momentum, and my pencil faltered.His eyes rolled back to the rink lazily, taking it away from me like it had never happened. Like he hadn’t just reached across a rink full of dist

CHAPTER THREEGREY EYES & BAD IDEASISLAOh my fucking God!Grey eyes… That was the first thing I noticed.Not the noise, not the bass rattling the walls of the frat house, not even the heat pressing into my skin the moment Sonia abandoned me. Just the color of his eyes as they locked onto mine from across the room, like he’d been waiting for me to look up.Rowan Pierce, sitting like he owned the place, a girl draped over his arm as he stared at me. He didn’t wave or even move; he just stared.And somehow, that tightened a knot in my stomach, much tighter than I wanted it to. My heart stumbled, then picked up its pace as my grip tightened around the plastic cup Sonia had shoved into my hand before disappearing into the crowd. Look away, Isla… This means nothing, and you don't even belong in this scenario! But none of my self pep talk worked. The room was packed, of course. Bodies were swaying, laughter was spilling, and the music was pounding, but the space between Rowan and me fe

CHAPTER FOURBAD DECISIONS TASTE BETTER. ISLA“Fuck Asher’s rules.”Those were the last words that left his mouth, and those words shouldn’t have done what they did to me.They shouldn’t have sent a reckless pulse through my chest or made my fingers curl against Rowan’s shirt like I was anchoring myself to him. They shouldn’t have made me forget—just for a second—that this was dangerous, and the moment I let his soft lips touch mine, there was no going back. But they did.The moment Rowan's lips claimed mine, all sense of reasoning flew out the window. My fingers instinctively found his hair, and I was pulling him closer into me. His hands snaked around my waist, pulling me into him like I was a second skin, one hand slipping down and cupping my ass. Oh God…A shameless moan racked through my chest and into the kiss as his touch sent shock waves through every nerve in my body. Butterflies flew endlessly in the pits of my stomach, my ears tingled, and something warm and wet slipped

CHAPTER FIVEI KISSED THE WRONG BEST FRIEND. ISLA “Asher.”I whispered under my breath, feeling the excitement vanish from my bones. What the hell is he doing here? Did he see who dropped me off?Before my thoughts could run further, his voice cut through the quiet hallway before I even reached the door.“Where the hell have you been?”I stopped short.Asher stood a few steps away, arms crossed, his jaw tight—not in a furious way, but wound too tight to pretend he wasn’t scared. His hair was damp, like he’d just come from the gym, hoodie half-zipped, eyes scanning me like I had appeared out of nowhere.“I—” I swallowed. “I went out.”“That’s by the way,” he snapped, then exhaled sharply and dragged a hand over his face. “Your roommate called me. She said you disappeared and weren't answering your phone.”This time, my guilt hit harder than my fear.“I didn’t hear it,” I said softly. “My phone was on silent.”He stared at me for a long second, then looked away like he didn’t trust hi

CHAPTER 6I SLEPT WITH MY ROOMMATE’S BROTHER. ISLAEllis kissed me like he was afraid I’d disappear if he didn’t. The kiss was slow, slippery, and careful, like he was memorizing the shape of my mouth and the way I gasp when he circles his thumb around my nipples. He rushed nothing, stole nothing, and somehow, that made it worse. I liked the reckless kiss with Rowan; it rushed my pleasure. And I also like the slow kiss with Ellis; it makes me want to chew him raw. “This is a bad idea,” I whispered against his lips, my hands curling under the hem of my shirt and raising it to my chest. I pulled back to give him the chance to completely pull it off my head.“I know,” he breathed back, forehead resting against mine. His voice wasn’t convincing, and truthfully…. Neither was mine.My heart was pounding so hard I thought he might feel it through my ribs as his hands slipped on the bare skin on my waist, picking slightly while trailing kisses down my neck. I was almost vibrating from the

CHAPTER 7GUILT AND DESIRE ISLAYou know when they say, “Quiet comes after a storm”? That was the exact explanation of my situation. I was in the quiet after the storm. Ellis’s breathing was a slow, steady rhythm I could get lost in. I lay in his arms, my chest pressed against his. I could feel the rise and fall of him, the heat of his skin, and the faint smell of cedarwood still lingering in my hair. His finger twined in my messy hair, tracing the lines of my neck, and my mind refused to settle. I wanted to speak, to say something, but the words were heavy in my throat, so I could only stare at the ceiling with hot cheeks and a heart pounding so hard it felt like it would burst from my ribs. “Why are you so quiet?” His voice was soft and teasing, but with a vulnerability underneath that made me ache.“Nothing,” I whispered, burying my face into his chest and letting the warmth of him hide the embarrassment that swirled in my stomach. My thoughts were chaotic—part exhilaration, p

CHAPTER 8FRIENDS, ENEMIES, OR SOMETHING WORSEISLAYou'd think the worst thing to ever happen to me today is Rowan connecting me with no sign of any escape. Until someone walks in on us. “Who would’ve thought…”The voice slid between Rowan and me, tearing us apart instantly while freezing me in my new spot. Rowan pulled back so fast it felt like the heat between us snapped. His eyebrows dipped, his jaw tightened, and his body shifted into something guarded and angry. I turned slowly, dread pooling in the pit of my stomach. Oh God… no. Victor Kane, captain of the hockey team until my brother joined, stood a few feet away. His hockey gear was half-off, sweat clung to his neck, and that lazy, knowing smile was carved onto his face like he'd just discovered something appetizing. I've known Victor Kane as long as I've come to this school and started watching my brother practice, and I knew one thing for sure. Victor Kane hated my brother. His eyes slowly and deliberately flicked fro

CHAPTER 9THE RULE I BROKE FIRSTROWANI used to think rules were simple things to follow. I used to think rules were just simply lines you didn't cross, promises you kept, and damages you avoided. It was all so simple in my head. Until Isla North walked into the rink with her sketchbook tucked against her chest and her eyes fixed anywhere but on us. And the rule stopped being logical.The simple full that passed between us teammates of the college hockey team. “Don’t fall in love with the captain’s sister.”And I broke that rule long before I even touched her.The first time I had truly noticed her, it was subtle. She always had that hoodie down and always stayed invisible. She had her hoodie dropped this time; like always, she was sitting alone in the stands, moving her pencil along that sketchbook. Then Victor had slammed the puck against the boards so hard she screamed. All heads turned towards her, and out of embarrassment, she forced her eyes to look away. Asher had called ou

CHAPTER 10BLOOD ON ICEROWANThe sound my hockey stick made when it connected with Victor’s helmet was wrong. It was a dull, sickening crack that vibrated up my arms and straight into my chest. It was the kind of hit that would've made me panic, but it settled satisfaction in the depths of my chest. He stumbled but didn't fall, and that alone made something snap loose in me. I lurched for him again. “ROWAN!”Hands grabbed my jersey from behind, someone yanked hard, nearly pulling me off my skates. I twist to fight off the people that held me, my eyes still locked on Victor. He steadied himself against the board, blood already trailing from the corner of his mouth. And the motherfucker was smiling!The smile was enough to tell me I had done exactly what he wanted, and the thought of giving him his satisfaction made me angry again. I tried to surge forward again, but I was hauled back—two players now, maybe three. The rink erupted around us like someone had thrown a lit match into
