BLURB Ava Carter has one dream: play elite hockey. But the Falcons Academy doesn’t recruit girls. So when her twin brother Noah walks away from his scholarship, Ava makes a reckless choice. She steals his identity, his jersey, his future. Now she’s living as Noah Carter, training, competing, and sleeping in the same dorm as Kai Bennett, her brother’s ruthless rival. Kai has spent years trying to defeat Noah. Now they’re roommates. And Kai is starting to notice something is wrong. The way Noah moves. The way he looks at him. The way his pulse changes when they collide on the ice. Then there’s Liam Brooks, captain of the Eagles. Noah’s best friend. The boy who knows her better than anyone. And the only one who might recognize the truth. Caught between her brother’s rival and her brother’s best friend, Ava is playing the most dangerous game of her life. Because the more she wins on the ice, the closer she gets to losing everything: her dream, her secret, her heart. And when her helmet falls in front of a packed arena and her hair spills free… The silence is louder than any crowd. Now the whole world is watching. And no one feels more betrayed than the two boys staring at her from opposite ends of the ice.

Chapter 1
POV: Ava CarterThe puck hit my stick and the world went quiet. That is what happens to me every single time. The crowd disappears. The shouting disappears. It is just me, the ice, and the net sitting wide open like a door I was born to walk through.I pushed off hard and flew. My skates cut into the ice. My legs burned. The defender on my left was big, fast, and mean. He lunged for me. I faked right, spun left, and left him grabbing nothing but cold air. The goalie dropped into position, watching me with sharp eyes.I pulled my stick back.The puck screamed across the ice and buried itself in the top right corner of the net. The sound it made hitting the back of the goal was the most beautiful sound in the world.Then the crowd exploded."NOAH! NOAH! NOAH!"I lifted my arms. My heart was slamming against my ribs. My lungs were on fire. Every single part of me was alive and electric and burning bright.But they were not cheering for me. They were cheering for Noah Carter.My brother.

Chapter 2
POV: Ava CarterThe room was small. Two beds. Two desks. One window that looked out at the training rink. And Kai Bennett sitting on the left bed with his arms crossed, watching me drag my bag through the door like he was studying something he had not figured out yet.I set my bag down and said nothing."You got taller," Kai said.I kept my back to him and unzipped my bag slowly. "Maybe you got shorter."He made a sound that was almost a laugh but not quite. "Still got that mouth on you."I turned around and looked at him. I made my face flat and unbothered the way Noah always looked when someone was trying to get under his skin. Noah never let things show. He was smooth and cool and I had watched him do it my whole life.I could do this."What do you want, Bennett?" I said. I pushed my voice down low in my throat. Slower than I naturally spoke.He leaned back on his hands and smiled at the ceiling. "Just saying it is good to finally have a real challenge this season. The guys here ar

Chapter 3
POV: Ava CarterI stood outside the arena with my hands in my jacket pockets and let the ocean wind hit my face and for exactly thirty seconds I forgot who I was supposed to be. The sky was wide and grey and beautiful and the waves were loud and far away and I just breathed.Then someone called out Noah's name and I snapped back.The charity game was packed. Local families, younger kids with foam fingers, coaches from three different academies sitting in the stands with their arms crossed and their eyes sharp. The Falcons filed in through the side entrance and I kept my helmet bag over my shoulder and my head slightly down and focused on walking like Noah. Loose. Easy. Confident without trying.I was getting better at it. Then I heard his voice."Noah!"My stomach folded completely in half. Liam Brooks came through the crowd like sunlight through a window. Tall, easy smile, broad shoulders under a blue Eagles jacket with the captain's patch stitched on the chest. I had known Liam Broo

Chapter 4
POV: Ava CarterI made my first mistake on a Tuesday.We were in the film room watching tape from the charity game and Coach Merritt paused on a play and asked me to walk through my decision making on the left wing sequence. I leaned forward and started talking and I used my hands the way I always do when I explain something I care about and my voice went up at the end of the sentence the way it naturally does when I am excited.Just me. Kai turned his head slowly from across the room. I caught myself immediately and cleared my throat and finished the sentence in a lower register and looked at the screen like nothing happened. But when I glanced sideways two minutes later Kai was still looking at me. Not suspicious exactly. Just the way he always looked at things he had not solved yet.I went back to the dorm that night and sat on my bed and pressed my face into my pillow and screamed without making any sound.This was getting harder.Not the hockey. The hockey I could do in my sleep.

Chapter 5
POV: Ava CarterI did not even blink."It belongs to a girl I am seeing," I said.Kai looked at me for a long moment. The locker room was almost empty now. Just the two of us and the hum of the lights and the hair tie sitting in his open palm between us."A girl," he said."Yeah.""You are seeing a girl.""Is that a problem."He looked down at the hair tie again. Then back at me. His expression was completely unreadable which was somehow worse than if he had looked angry or suspicious. He just looked like someone doing very careful math."No," he said slowly. "It is not a problem."He held it out to me.I reached for it and his hand moved before I could stop it. His fingers closed around my wrist gently.He looked down,I also do the same.My wrist in his hand. His thumb resting against the inside of it where my pulse was currently doing something embarrassing and frantic. His hand was big and mine looked small inside it. Too small. I had strong hands from years of stick work but they

Chapter Six: Just A DreamPOV: Ava Carter“Why are you sleeping here?”The voice came sharp and close and I jolted awake so fast the room spun.Kai was standing over me with his arms crossed, looking down at me the way you look at something that has deeply disappointed you without even trying. He had nudged me not gently. Not even close to gently. The kind of nudge that had absolutely no apology in it.I blinked. Once. Twice.I pressed my hand against my chest and felt my heart slamming underneath it and made myself breathe slowly. My shirt was damp. My hands were unsteady. I looked around the room and it was empty and quiet and completely undisturbed and I let out a breath that had been sitting in my lungs for what felt like hours.It was just a dream.Not the arena. Not the lights. Not my helmet on the ice and every eye in the building finding my face all at once. Just a dream. I was not busted. I was sitting in the preparation room at Falcons Academy and nobody knew anything and I

Chapter 7
When the team filed out I didn’t follow.I waited until the sound of footsteps faded down the corridor and then I grabbed my stick and went back to the arena. The ice was quiet and bright and empty and I stepped onto it and just breathed for a second.I told myself it was to practice. To figure out what went wrong. To fix something.But the truth was simpler and less noble than that. I didn’t want to go back to the dorm. I didn’t want to walk in and find Kai sitting on his bed with his arms crossed and that look on his face that said everything without saying anything. Not tonight. Not after the game I had just played.So I skated. Back and forth. The puck moving off my stick in clean sharp lines the way it always did when no one was watching.“You didn’t go to rest.”I stopped and turned around.Coach Merritt was standing at the boards with his hands in his jacket pockets. He wasn’t angry. He was just watching me the way he always watched things. Steady and unhurried.I skated over a

looked at him with a calm face but my mind was already working fast behind it.“During the game one of your teammates hurt my hand,” I said, trying to hide my fear . “I didn’t want to tell Coach Merritt. He would have benched me. So I’ve been using my left. My right hand is in pain.”Liam’s face dropped. “That’s bad man.” He looked genuinely concerned. “So will you be able to play?”“Of course,” I sighed.He nodded and we continued exchanging shots across the table.“By the way,” Liam said mid game, not looking up from his shot. “Your girl has been asking about you.”I looked up slowly.Your girl.I turned the words over carefully. Kai had mentioned a girl too. Back in the locker room. But Noah had never once told me about anyone. Not a name. Not a face. We were twins and we told each other everything but apparently not this. I had no idea who she was or what she even looked like.What do I say, I thought. What do I lie.This hangout was killing me.“Noah.” Liam looked up. “I said yo

Chapter 9
I sat in class and stared at the board and heard nothing.Kai’s words kept replaying in my head on a loop I couldn’t shut off.I saw you taking drugs yesterday. At the bar.He had said it that morning with that flat sarcastic tone of his, like he was commenting on something mildly disappointing. And I had stood there and said nothing because what was I supposed to say. I couldn’t deny it. I couldn’t explain it. Because the person Kai saw at that bar wasn’t me.It was Noah.I pressed my pen against the paper and stared at nothing.When did Noah start taking drugs. How long has this been going on. What if Coach Merritt finds out. What if Dad finds out. And not just about the drugs — about everything. That Noah was supposed to be at Falcons and wasn’t. That I was here in his place. That I had missed my entire final year of high school to live my brother’s life while he was apparently standing next to strangers taking drugs at a bar.I pulled my phone out under the desk and opened Noah’s

Chapter 10
POV: Ava CarterMr. Hudson was looking directly at me.“Noah,” he said again. His voice was calm but firm in the way that meant he expected an answer and was prepared to wait for one. “What are you doing out here?”The funny and terrible part was that he was talking to me. I was the one standing in the open. Noah had pulled his mask up and fixed his hood low over his face and turned completely to the side the moment Mr. Hudson appeared, like if he couldn’t see him .I stepped forward slightly to draw the attention back to me.“Mr. Hudson,” I said, keeping my voice steady. “I came to visit a sick friend.”Mr. Hudson’s eyes moved past my shoulder trying to see past me. Trying to get a better look at the hooded figure standing beside the cab. Noah kept his face turned away. Completely still. Not a single movement that would give anything away.Then without a word Noah walked away. Just like that. Quietly and quickly and gone around the corner before anyone could say anything about it.Mr
