Some lines are meant to be crossed. Others come with consequences.
Braelyn Larkin knows better than to fall for a hockey player.
Growing up with a father who coaches Stonehaven University's hockey team, she's seen the egos, the pressure, and the heartbreak that come with the sport. As a junior and one of the university's top cheerleaders, Braelyn has enough on her plate without adding her dad's captain to the list.
Then there's Ethan Branson.
Ethan has spent years earning the captain's C on his jersey. Focused, competitive, and determined to lead Stonehaven to a championship, he doesn't have time for distractions-especially not the coach's daughter.
But somewhere between late-night conversations, stolen glances, and moments neither of them can explain, the line between them starts to disappear.
They know they shouldn't.
They do it anyway.
Keeping their relationship secret seems manageable... until Cameron Whitaker, Braelyn's ex, returns to town wearing the jersey of Stonehaven's biggest rival. Cam knows the version of Braelyn that Ethan never got to meet-and he's not ready to let her go.
With a rivalry heating up on the ice, rumors spreading off it, and Dove Belmont determined to make sure Braelyn and Ethan don't get their happy ending, keeping their relationship hidden becomes harder by the day.
Because when the person you're falling for is your father's star player, there isn't just a line between you.
There's an entire rink.
And eventually, someone has to decide whether they're willing to cross it.
