Blurb:
Kace Elliott is the hockey player with a genius IQ and a secret side hustle in applied physics. Heโs falling
for his research partner, but she doesnโt know who he is outside of the lab. Now, the closer they get, the
harder it becomes for him to keep his two worlds from colliding.
On the ice, Iโm Kace Elliottโstarting goalie for the Pittsburgh Titans, fighting to prove myself in the
playoffs. Off it, Iโm Williamโa scientific researcher, quietly holding on to the academic world Iโll return to
when hockey is over. Both versions are real, they just arenโt meant to overlap.
Until Dr. Laurel Kent.
Laurel is brilliant, principled, and deeply rooted in a world where transparency matters. She knows me
online as William, her intellectual equal, the man who shares her passion for data, late-night
collaboration, and easy, unexpected chemistry. William is very much her type whereas athletes are not.
I need her to like the bigger part of meโthe hockey player. When she meets me in person, as Kace, I
make the choice to let her see the type of man sheโs sworn off from ever dating. She gets the Titans
goalie and all the craziness that comes with the playoffs. But hereโs where it gets complicated: I make
the dangerous decision not to tell her Kace and William are the same person.
By some stroke of luck, Laurel agrees to give Kace a shot, and our time together is more than I ever
hoped for. The closer together we grow, the less she talks about William, and I convince myself Iโll tell
her the truth when the timing is better, once Iโm able to prove Iโm more than the label sheโs written off.
But timing has a way of unraveling even the best intentions.
As the pressure of the playoffs intensifies, the boundary Iโve relied on becomes impossible to maintain.
When Laurel discovers how closely intertwined my worlds really are, Iโm faced with the cost of asking
someone to love only part of me.ย And winning on the ice means nothing if I lose the woman who made me want to stop dividing my life in two.ย
