Rule number 1 of survival: Never let them see you flinch. My identical twin brother, Jace, was a complete doormat. He let his hockey teammates call him a weakling and constantly use him as a punching bag. The moment I found out, something inside me broke. I was determined to fight back on his behalf. The very next day, I disguised myself as him, walked straight into that locker room, and absolutely leveled his bullies. I only wanted to teach them a lesson, but instead, I caught the eye of the king of the rink himself. Nico Lancaster, the arrogant, brutally gorgeous team captain and the best player in the country. I challenged him right then and there. And I won three times in a row. Now, his hatred for me is consuming, but my impossible victory caught the coach's attention. I’m trapped. My brother can’t play hockey to save his life, so I have to keep putting on this disguise. Worse? The coach just made me the assistant captain, forcing me to work side-by-side with Nico to teach the team my signature winning move. I have a target on my back, and Nico is leading the charge to make my life an absolute misery. He wants me broken. He wants me gone. But it gets even more dangerous. He just found out my secret. He knows I'm a girl. Now, I am completely at his mercy. In my country, women are strictly banned from playing hockey, and impersonation is a serious crime. If he opens his mouth, my brother gets expelled, and I go straight to jail. Nico holds all the cards, and the punishment he has in mind involves keeping me closer than ever.

Now she's stuck writing a semester-long profile on Declan Mercer — starting center, criminally good at skating backward, and the most inconveniently interesting person she's met since arriving at Harlow.

But just as something real starts forming between them — something unscripted, something she didn't prepare for — a single email pulls the assignment and threatens to take everything with it. Some edges are sharper than they look. And some falls are worth the landing.
