Everyone knows Y/N Hughes. Country music's golden girl. The voice behind sold-out tours, chart-topping albums, and songs that somehow find their way into every truck radio, every heartbreak playlist, and every late-night drive. She's best friends with names like Ella Langley, Riley Green, Megan Moroney, and Tucker Wetmore. At twenty-one, she's already become one of the biggest stars in country music. Macklin Celebrini knows her too. Well... kind of. They met once at a birthday party in California. It was her twenty-first birthday, crowded and loud and full of people who were somehow more famous than he was. They exchanged a quick hello, a polite "big fan," and then disappeared back into their own worlds. That should've been the end of it. Except a few months later, Macklin finds himself walking into Y/N's album release party alongside Jack, Quinn, and Luke Hughes. Because Y/N Hughes isn't just a country superstar. She's their little sister. And when Luke casually reintroduces them as if Macklin hasn't spent the better part of two years listening to her music, watching every interview, and keeping a certain secret celebrity crush buried six feet underground, things get complicated. Especially because nobody knows who his celebrity crush is. Not his teammates. Not the Hughes brothers. And definitely not Y/N. Unfortunately for Macklin, keeping a secret becomes a lot harder when the girl in question suddenly starts showing up everywhere.
Y/N hates Macklin Celebrini on sight, Macklin is deeply offended by it, and their enemies-to-friends-to-maybe-something-more journey gets a lot more complicated when they discover they've already loved each other once before. Better description: Macklin Celebrini has never had a problem getting people to like him. Until Y/N. One sarcastic comment, one badly timed joke, and suddenly she's looking at him like he's personally responsible for every annoyance in her life. She thinks he's arrogant, cocky, and way too aware of the fact that he's an NHL player. Macklin thinks she's judgmental, stubborn, and somehow always ready with a comeback that leaves him speechless. The worst part? They keep running into each other. At team parties. At restaurants. At friends' apartments. Somehow every time Macklin turns around, Y/N is there, rolling her eyes at something he said. His teammates find it hilarious. Y/N finds it exhausting. And Macklin? Macklin finds himself looking for her in every room. As weeks turn into months, their arguments slowly become conversations. Conversations become inside jokes. And somewhere along the way, Y/N realizes that the guy she thought was an egotistical hockey star is actually funny, loyal, and far kinder than he lets people see. Then one random story from childhood changes everything. Because the more they talk, the more familiar each other seem. A street in Vancouver. A treehouse. A pair of inseparable best friends who promised they'd stay in touch forever. Until one family moved away. Until one little boy disappeared from one little girl's life. And suddenly the person they've spent months trying not to like is the person they've been missing for years. Now they're left figuring out what's harder: pretending they don't have feelings for each other, or admitting that maybe fate has been pushing them together ever since they were kids.
