Shutout by Avery Keelan

(This book is an adult romance novel that contains mature themes and content.)

He’s the tall, tattooed stranger I hooked up with on Halloween . . . and now he’s my new roommate.

After a sudden cross-country move, I’m stuck crashing with my older brother and two of his hockey teammates for sophomore year. But when I walk in the front door, I’m faced with another problem.

My anonymous fling is Tyler Donahue, the superstar goalie for my brother’s team.

We try to pretend it never happened, but it quickly becomes clear neither of us can forget. Since my overprotective brother would freak out, we decide to keep things between us a secret. Anyway, I don’t want a boyfriend, and Tyler doesn’t have time for a relationship with his gruelling hockey schedule. But as our no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper and more meaningful, I begin to see a softer side to him. Whatever I told myself going in, I think I’m falling for him.

We said we’d keep things casual, but hearts have a way of breaking all the rules . . .

TikTok sensation Avery Keelan is back with the second in the addictive Rules of the Game series, Shutout, an unputdownable and steamy college hockey romance.
