MasukNicole Bennett has spent most of her life feeling invisible. At nineteen, she is lonely, insecure about her body, and convinced that no guy would ever choose a girl like her. So, when she joins an anonymous dating app, she does something reckless. She creates a new identity called Luna, uses another girl's pictures, and adds a few years to her age. She expects meaningless conversations. Instead, she meets W_DeLuca. Arrogant, sarcastic, and ridiculously charming, he is everything she should avoid. But their arguments soon turn into late-night conversations, sweet messages, unexpected gifts, and a connection neither of them can seem to walk away from. What Nicole doesn't know is that W_DeLuca is William DeLuca, a famous professional hockey superstar who has millions of fans but trusts almost no one. And somehow, the anonymous girl behind the screen has become the only person he wants to talk to. For six months, they fall deeply in love without ever seeing each other. Then Nicole moves in with her best friend and comes face-to-face with the one man she has been secretly dating. William DeLuca. Her online boyfriend is her best friend's older brother. Worse, he has no idea that the shy, plus-size girl living under his roof is the woman he calls baby every night. He is still searching for Luna, determined to finally meet the woman who has stolen his heart. Now Nicole is trapped between the man she loves and the lie that brought them together. Every stolen glance, accidental touch, and late-night conversation brings them closer to a truth that could destroy everything. Because William may forgive a lot of things, but being deceived by the woman he loves could be the one thing he never gets over.

It should be arriving right about now. Don't argue with me, just open it.I stared at the text message, a faint smile touching my lips before the familiar anxiety settled in my stomach. At precisely 11:00 AM on a crisp Thursday morning, the delivery van pulled up outside my small rental house.It wasn't just one box. The courier, wearing white leather gloves and carrying a clipboard, brought in three massive, immaculate packages adorned with designer ribbons. There were even wooden shipping crates that looked as though they belonged in an art gallery.I hauled everything upstairs to my bedroom, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest. I sliced through the tape on the largest crate first and pulled back the layers of scented black tissue paper.Inside was a brand new,
What had started as a reckless escape from my lonely college life had become my absolute obsession. I was living a double existence, split cleanly down the middle between who I was in the light and who I was in the dark.By day, I was still Nicole.I was the plus-size freshman shuffling through campus halls in oversized men's hoodies, trying to take up as little space as humanly possible. I ate my lunches alone at the back corner table of the library, keeping my head down so no one would stare at my thick frame, broad shoulders, or round face. Whenever people walked past me, they looked right through me as though I were made of glass.But by night, the moment I locked my bedroom door and opened the app, I became Luna.And to William, Luna was everything.Our relationship didn't just grow; it became deeply rooted in every part of my daily routine. We spoke every single day without fail, and our late-night voice calls became a sacred, intoxicating ritual.Over those six long months, I l
The arena's neon floodlights cut through the haze of ice mist, bathing the rink in a harsh, electric glare. The thunderous roar of eighteen thousand screaming fans reverberated through the steel girders overhead, creating a deafening wall of sound that usually sent adrenaline rushing through my veins.Tonight, I barely heard any of it.I sat on the bench, my helmet hanging loosely from one gloved hand, my chest heaving as sweat trickled down the back of my neck and soaked through my heavy jersey. Around me, my teammates were shouting and pounding each other's shoulder pads, celebrating a hard-fought period.As the team captain, I was supposed to be barking orders, reviewing plays, and keeping everyone focused.Instead, my eyes kept drifting toward the tunnel entrance, where one of the equipment trainers was holding my personal phone.Did she text back?"DeLuca! Great backcheck in the final minute, Cap!" our head coach barked, stepping up to the bench with a white dry-erase board clutc
Two weeks ago, W_DeLuca had been nothing more than a stranger who annoyed me with his arrogant messages and impossible attitude. Now, I couldn't imagine going an entire day without hearing from him.Somewhere between our endless late-night conversations and his unexpected sweet moments, he had become the person I looked forward to talking to most. I checked my phone between classes, during lunch, and even while walking across campus, hoping to see his name light up my screen.It was ridiculous how much one person I'd never met could occupy my thoughts. But I was already hopelessly hooked.In the real world, I was still invisible.I was still Nicole, the fat girl who shuffled around campus in oversized hoodies, keeping her head down so no one would judge her thick body, broad shoulders, or double chin.When I walked down the hall, people stepped around me like I was an obstacle. Whenever guys looked in my direction, my stomach dropped because I knew they were looking right past me at t
