House Rules

Briar finds herself playing house with her sworn enemy in the third and final book in the steamy romance series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Murphy. Perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus series.

When Briar says goodbye to her best friends at the end of the year she has two choices: go home and face her estranged father, who has rekindled the flame with her mother (and will likely leave her heartbroken again), or Briar can sign up for a few classes and stay at school over the summer.

Without any housing options, Briar finds herself squatting in her own dorm. The floor is mostly a ghost town except for Dylan, her rule-obsessed resident advisor who has always had it out for her. But Briar manages to sneak around undetected.

That is until one afternoon when she finds a six-year-old girl snooping around her room. Most people would find the little girl adorable, but Briar refuses to be manipulated by pigtails and rosy cheeks. Briar learns that the girl in question is Wren, Dylan’s daughter. Not only that, but Dylan is breaking his precious rules by secretly having Wren stay with him for the summer. Briar agrees to keep the truth about Wren to herself if Dylan doesn’t rat her out either.

Over the course of the summer, Briar develops a soft spot for the rebellious little girl and surprisingly, her impossible father too. As the three grow closer, will Briar finally let her guard down? Or will she do what her father has always done: run away and hurt the ones she loves the most?
