I’ve been in love with my best friend for years. The problem? He thinks I’m straight. And now that I share a dorm with him, his insistent need to cuddle -and lack of clothes- are blurring the careful lines I’ve drawn. I'm struggling to keep my defenses up. I love him but I’m afraid. Afraid I’m not enough to make him stay. Afraid he’ll rip my heart out. Afraid he won’t love me back. But I see a side of him no one else does. In the security of our room, he lets his mask fall. Lets me hold him. Something lurks in the dark recesses of his mind that keeps him from going all in. He’s just as hesitant about this as I am, but I don’t understand why. Can I convince him to let me love him the way he deserves… or will he take my heart and run away with it?

Ex-lovers. Ex-rivals. New cohosts. Oh, puck. Cut from the US women’s hockey team right before her third chance at gold, Natalie Carpenter is scrambling for a plan that’ll help her avoid moving back home. The answer: a guest-hosting gig on Wake Up, USA’s winter games coverage. Her cohost: Darcy LaCroix, Nat’s ex-girlfriend, one-time college teammate turned adversary. Since leaving Team Canada, Darcy has worked hard to make a name in broadcasting. If her big break requires sharing screen time with the former cocky freshman who turned her world upside down, so be it. At this point, there’s nothing between them except history. But audiences disagree. #PuckingHotties is trending hard, and Nat and Darcy agree to lean into it—for ratings, obviously. It’s not like Nat can forget the way Darcy broke her heart or their bitter team rivalry. Between working, traveling together and that irresistible spark, it’s getting hard to separate what’s real and what’s for the camera. Because somewhere underneath everything that went wrong is the sneaking suspicion that nothing will ever feel quite this right again.
