Bending the Rules : The Rules Duet

It started with a crush.
The best stories always do.

Our story sounds predictable.
Short-lived.
Destined for failure.

Lincoln Beckett is the star wide receiver of Brighton University-
smart, funny, and like many would guess,
heartbreak shines in his dark brown eyes
and is etched across his steel jaw.

He's popular,
a guaranteed draft pick,
and worst of all:
My brother's best friend.

It's a tale of unrequited love.
I tried not to like him.
I have an entire list of reasons.
Reasons that have become my rules for dating

Rules that he keeps bending.
