Overview

A mistaken identity. A child who feels like he never belonged. A lifetime of secrets comes crashing down. Find out what happens when family lies are exposed, hearts dare to love, and two men find the life they never expected to have.

Mason Kennerly
My life has three rules. Keep your head down, protect the quarterback, and ignore all the things about my life that don’t add up. Football was a stable field with clear rules; family was a blur of clipped words and cold looks. Then a flood of social media tags shows me a man who could be my mirror image. British hockey player Axel Hughes. For the first time in my life, I step onto a plane, not because the play calls for it, but because I need to know who I am.

Thomas Kingsley
I thought I knew how to protect someone, but I wasn’t trained to guard the heart. I never expected to fall for a man, especially not the one who had become my best friend. As I help Mason unravel all the questions about his identity, I discover who I am while trying not to blur the lines with my feelings. Now I find myself falling for the one who makes me smile too easily, cries when anger turns to sorrow, and is determined to face the heartbreak head‑on. He’s the love I never thought I’d find, and the only person I’ve ever needed.
