Dixon Rule. Elle Kennedy. 2024.

Diana Dixon has a lot going on this summer: rehearsing for a dance competition, juggling two jobs, and dealing with an ex-boyfriend who won’t quit.. Yet she still has the energy to put Shane Lindsey in his place. 

Shane just moved in next door and seems dedicated to sleeping his way through her entire cheerleading squad. Sure, he’s a tall, gorgeous hockey player, but he’s messing with her turf. This calls for some ground rules: no parties in her apartment, leave her teammates alone, and - most importantly - leave her alone. 

What Diana doesn’t realise is that Shane’s sick of hook- ups and tired of being on the rebound after his long term girlfriend called it quits. He wants a relationship. And when his ex comes back into the picture, he pretends he has one to make her jealous… and who better to play the role than his sassy neighbour? 

Despite Diana’s reluctance, a fake relationship is the perfect solution for her own ex issues, and soon she can’t deny something is sizzling between them. Something not and completely unexp3cted. And it might just be getting a little too real.
