The Dixon Rule

The Dixon Rule is the sizzling second instalment in Elle Kennedy's popular Campus Diaries series, interweaving laugh-out-loud humour with irresistible romance. Set within the dynamic world that fans adored in Off Campus and Briar U, this novel promises a journey filled with unexpected twists, fiery chemistry, and the allure of first love.

Diana Dixon’s summer is nothing short of chaotic. Between intense rehearsals for a high-stakes ballroom dance competition and holding down two demanding jobs, her plate is more than full. Add to that an ex-boyfriend who seems oblivious to her clear signals that their relationship is history, and Diana's patience is running thin. But just when she thinks the drama couldn't intensify, Shane Lindley crashes into her life with an audacious claim. The tall, strikingly handsome hockey player has not only moved into her apartment building but is apparently hell-bent on becoming an unwelcome distraction.

Despite his magnetic charm, Diana is adamant about establishing boundaries. Shane, known for his popularity with her cheerleading squad, seems determined to flout her rules by invading her social turf. The ground rules are straightforward: no parties within her domain, her teammates are off-limits, and most crucially, Shane must keep his distance from her.

Unbeknownst to Diana, Shane is navigating his own romantic disillusions. Tired of fleeting encounters and nursing a bruised heart from a recent breakup, he craves genuine connection. When his ex-girlfriend reappears on the scene, staking a claim to his heart, Shane concocts a plan to pretend he's moved on. And who better to act as his 'girlfriend' for this ploy than his feisty new neighbour?

What begins as a mutually advantageous arrangement to address ex-induced woes gradually evolves into something neither of them anticipated. Diana, despite her initial hesitance, finds herself irresistibly drawn to Shane. The fake dating game teems with undeniable sparks that ignite a potential romance with searing intensity. Yet, as the charade starts to feel tangibly authentic, both Diana and Shane must confront the very real emotions that have blossomed between them.

Can Diana and Shane navigate the blurred lines between pretence and reality, and discover if their budding relationship has the fortitude to stand the test of time? The Dixon Rule will sweep you off your feet with its playful banter, emotional depth, and a romance that feels as relatable as it is captivating.
