PUCK & PRETEND

Catriona "Cat" Walker had everything she ever wanted: popularity, the perfect boyfriend, and a spot in the golden circle of her elite private school.

But when her fairy-tale romance with Josh Chen-the school's golden boy-crashes and burns, Cat's world turns upside down.

Enter Sylas Jones, captain of the hockey team, the guy who makes hearts flutter with a single smirk-and Josh's biggest rival.

Sylas has spent years in the shadow of Josh's charm, quietly resenting his arrogance. But Sylas has an edge: he's best friends with Cat's twin brother, Atlas.

When Atlas suggests a plan to dethrone Josh and put him in his place, Sylas can't resist.

The idea is simple: fake-date Cat, make Josh jealous, and show everyone who the real king of the ice is. But Sylas has a secret-he's been in love with Cat since they were kids.

As the lines between fake and real start to blur, Cat must confront her feelings for Sylas, her complicated past with Josh, and her place in a world built on facades. Will this plan to break Josh's ego end with Cat's heart on the line-or will it be the start of something real?

In love, as in hockey, the best plays are the ones you never see coming.
