ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 19, 2022

It all started when I hosted a little party for a bunch of new friends.

Though “friends” might not be the right word since the invitees were all the women I’d found out my boyfriend was talking to behind my back. When the guest of honor walked in—aka my now ex—things took a turn…

Unfortunately, a stranger witnessed the whole blowout. I was in a mood that night and ended up giving this gorgeous guy an attitude, too. As if my night could get any worse, before he stormed off, he informed me he was actually my landlord.

Colby Lennon, along with three of his friends, owned the building where my tattoo shop was located. He and I were total opposites. He wore a tie, oozed confidence that came with years of women falling at his feet, and wasn’t afraid to say what he wanted, which lately—was me.

I hated that I found myself attracted to him. Especially since I was supposed to be on a self-imposed dating hiatus. Yet the two of us couldn’t seem to stay away from each other. We started hanging out, as friends. I even went as far as making rules for what he’d dubbed our “undates.”

But eventually, our explosive attraction became too much to bear, and we broke our resolve. I let my guard down and started to really fall for Colby.

Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

REVIEW: THE RULES OF DATING is the first instalment in the contemporary, adult, erotic, romance series co-authored by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. This is architect and single father Colby Lennon, and tattoo artist Billie Holland’s story line.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Billie and Colby) THE RULES OF DATING follows in the wake of our heroine, Billie Holland, discovering her boyfriend of several months kept a Tinder profile with twelve ongoing matches. Having successfully humiliated the man at work, Billie would come face to face with her new landlord, Colby Lennon, the man with whom Billie would fall in love. Setting down rules for her future relationships, Billie struggles with her attraction to a man she doesn’t want to date instead labelling their relationship something else but Colby’s past returns demanding a favor, a favor that may place his future with Billie in jeopardy. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Billie and Colby, and the potential fall-out as Colby’s past threatens our story line hero.

Colby Lennon is a single father, and his daughter Saylor is the most important person in his life. Colby’s attraction to Billie is compounded by Billie’s love for his daughter Saylor, a young girl who has fallen in love with our story line heroine. Billie battles between head and heart having been hurt just weeks before but Billie’s heart wants something her head continues to tell her no.

The relationship between Billie and Colby is one of immediate attraction but Colby is determined to claim Billie as his own. Trying to keep their ‘undates’ amicable, Colby and Billie find themselves rapidly falling, a fall that may break both of their hearts. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and seductive without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Billie’s staff: Deek and Justine, and Billie’s ex boyfriend Kaiden; Colby’s daughter Saylor, and his best friends and fellow landlords Holden, Owen and Brayden. Holden’s story line is next.

THE RULES OF DATING is a story of loss and acceptance, heart breaking and forgiveness, love and happily ever after. The premise is captivating and emotional; the romance is provocative and sensual; the characters are charismatic, determined, struggling and lost.
