Beyond the lines

Elsie Summer has spent her whole life fighting for a place on the ice.
With broken skates, a scholarship on the line, and a skating partner she can't stop loving, failure isn't an option.

Mason Bennett is hockey royalty at North Ridge University.
Cocky, frustrating, and impossible to ignore, he's the last person Elise wants distracting her.

Especially after he nearly ruins everything.

But between shared rink time, late-night study sessions, and a rivalry that slowly turns into something neither of them understands, Elsie starts noticing the boy beneath Mason's sharp grin.

And Mason?

He notices everything.

The way she bites her lip when she's nervous.
The way she hides how badly she's struggling.
The way she keeps loving people who barely notice her at all.

She fell first.
But he falls harder.
