Puck the Rules

She's the best player on the ice. She's also the biggest lie in the league. For twelve years, I've been someone else's dream. My father wanted a son. My body gave him a daughter. So he cut my hair, lowered my voice, and buried the girl I used to be under pads and a helmet until nobody could tell the difference. It's the only way our family survives — the scholarship pays what his debt can't. All I have to do is keep pretending to be Jax Callahan, the boy everyone thinks I am. I've done it for twelve years. I can do it for one more season. Except no one warned me about him. Dominic Vance is everything I'm supposed to hate — the ice-cold captain of our biggest rival team, the boy who's sworn to destroy me since I humiliated him on his own ice two seasons ago. He looks at me like I'm a puzzle he can't stop solving. And every time his eyes narrow like that, I feel the lie cracking a little more. He's starting to notice things. The way I never change with the team. The way my voice catches when I'm cornered. The way I flinch when someone gets too close. Things that could end my whole life. And the worst part? When he finally figures out what I'm hiding — he doesn't expose me. He protects me. Now the boy who was supposed to be my enemy is the only person who's ever wanted the real me. But there's a scholarship holding up my family, a father who'll never forgive me, a rival who's found out my secret and wants to sell it, and one championship game that could save everything — or burn it all down. I was never supposed to be seen. Now I can't stop wanting to be. Puck the Rules is a full-length standalone enemies-to-lovers hockey romance featuring a girl disguised as a boy, a slow-burn rivalry that turns into something neither of them can name, an emotional found-family finish, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
