The Five-Week Rule: A Brother's Best Friend Hockey Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798181239012)

SLOANE WHITAKER has spent eight years building toward undeniable. Three firms, twelve assignments, one pending partnership review and a framework that has never once told her the wrong answer. When her firm sends her to a small Minnesota lake town to confirm a development assessment, she arrives with a dossier she has read three times and a five-week deadline she intends to keep.

She is not supposed to stay.

JAKE CALLOWAY is the town's local liaison - her brother's old college roommate, the man with genuine charm and a decade-old rule standing between them - and he knows every boundary marker, every contested parcel, and every reason the preliminary model her firm built is missing half the picture.

He shows her the parts of Wren Lake the dossier didn't prepare her for. She shows the firm what their numbers were actually saying. Neither of them planned the rest.

"The aggregate numbers compress things that don't compress cleanly." - Jake Calloway, who is not wrong about any of it

THE FIVE-WEEK RULE is Book 2 in the Wren Lake Wolves series - a slow-burn forced proximity brother's best friend romance novel for readers who want their feelings earned. No cliffhanger, and no need to read Book 1 first. Each Wren Lake Wolves book follows a different couple and can be enjoyed entirely on its own.
