Y/N Mercer is used to living in the shadow of her three overprotective hockey-playing brothers — especially her popular twin, Beau Mercer. But when a relationship her brothers completely disapprove of begins to grow, Y/N is forced to balance competitive dance, family pressure, and figuring out who she is outside of the Mercer name.
After discovering that her longtime boyfriend, hockey captain James Walker, has been cheating on her, Y/N’s world is turned upside down. Looking for a way to move on, she reluctantly agrees to fake-date Nicolas “Nico” Lambert—the arrogant, talented captain of her school’s biggest rival team. What begins as a plan to make an ex jealous quickly becomes something much more complicated as old rivalries, buried secrets, and unexpected feelings force Y/N and Nico to confront the truth about themselves and each other. In a world divided by hockey loyalties, they discover that sometimes the person you’re supposed to hate becomes the one you can’t live without.
