As a bookworm in rural Nova Scotia, a girl who always orbited the popular crowd, I craved acceptance.

During my freshman year at Scotia Academy, I devised a plan to transform myself.

My reinvention, however, leads to a chain of unsettling events, blurring the boundaries between my true self and the façade I've created.

When a baby unexpectedly appears outside my dorm room, I'm forced to live with my best friend's brother Kace Andrews---a notorious hockey player who loves all the puck bunnies.

Well, all the puck bunnies except for me.

But soon enough, he begins to see beyond my disguise, which leads to soft kisses, tender touches and late nights between the sheets.

We're on a journey of self-discovery as we play house, but when a reckless mistake catches up with me, bringing up old hurts Kace can't seem to outrun, I question whether our love is enough to help rebuild our shattered trust in a world consumed by betrayal.
