Mackenzie Graham was never supposed to escape the world she was born into.
Daughter of hockey legend Phil Graham and twin sister to Garrett Graham, her life was written long before she ever had a say in it - ice, legacy, expectation, control. But after losing her mum at eleven and surviving years in a house that slowly stopped feeling like home, Mackenzie made the one choice that changed everything: she left.
At sixteen, she walked away from the only life she'd ever known and into the home of her best friend Jules - and Jules' older brother, John Logan.
John is everything Mackenzie didn't expect. Easygoing, charming, the kind of hockey player who smiles like nothing ever weighs too heavy. But beneath the lightness is something quieter, something broken in ways he never talks about. And somehow, without meaning to, he becomes her safe place in a world that has never been safe.
Now, four years later, Mackenzie has built a life in the spaces she carved for herself - far from Briar University, far from the name she was born with, and far from the version of her family that still defines her from a distance.
But the past doesn't stay in the past.
Because Garrett is back. Not just as her twin, but as Briar's star captain - and suddenly the hockey world Mackenzie left behind collides with the life she tried to build. The same ice. The same arena. The same house.
The Hawks House.
Where Tucker keeps the chaos contained in the kitchen, Dean hides vulnerability behind a charming, reckless grin, and John Logan stands at the center of everything Mackenzie thought she'd finally escaped.
And now she's stuck between two versions of herself - the girl she was, and the girl she became - with both worlds watching her from the same rink.
But no matter how much changes, one thing doesn't.
She's still choosing Logan.
