The Rule of 3

Ambition. Love. Loyalty.

Welcome to Honeybee Hollow, Kentucky.

Tanner Lassiter has easy, straightforward goals.

1. Marry the love of your life.

2. Become Kentucky's youngest governor ever.

3. Become president.

Eli Whittaker is a kingmaker with two goals.

1. Use your billions and connections to help Tanner realize all of his dreams.

2. Don't die of a broken heart in the process of achieving #1.

Zoë Deliban is a small-town teacher with one goal.

1. Don't mess up Tanner's life by letting him know you still love him.

Open-minded adult readers only, please. If you don't mind a few four-letter words and steamy scenes, and you want a book about enduring love, loyalty, and kindness, come on in and enjoy the fun.

The Rule of 3 is a "Lovers in Louisville" series spin-off. It is book one in "The Perfect Number" series. Book two, The Passion of 3, is available now. They are more fun if you read them in order, but both are standalone books.
