Clare Crawley’s Olympic dream shatters just weeks before the National Figure Skating Championships when her longtime skating partner walks away, leaving her career hanging by a thread. Then comes an offer she never expected. Adrian Peterson, the country’s untouchable golden boy known as the Ice King, needs a temporary partner after a devastating injury sidelines his own. Their partnership is meant to last only until his partner recovers. There’s just one problem. Clare and Adrian can’t stand each other. Years ago, they shared something that ended in betrayal, leaving behind scars neither of them has forgotten. Now they’re forced to trust each other on the ice, where one mistake could end both their careers. Clare also discovers Adrian is hiding a secret that could destroy everything she’s worked for. As impossible chemistry begins to blur the line between resentment and desire. With Nationals drawing closer and the truth threatening to surface, Clare must decide whether some broken hearts deserve a second chance… or whether trusting Adrian again will cost her the one dream she’s refused to let die. Sometimes the hardest fall isn’t on the ice. It’s falling for the one person you swore you’d never forgive.

Rachel Scott has loved her best friend, Brian, for years. She always believed that one day he’d finally see her the way she saw him. Instead, he chooses someone else. Heartbroken, Rachel packs her bags and leaves the apartment they’ve shared, determined to move on. With barely enough money to get by, she starts searching for a roommate. The last person she expects to offer her a place is Cade, the captain of Northridge University’s hockey team… and Brian’s biggest rival. When Brian suddenly decides he doesn’t want to let her go, Cade proposes the perfect solution: fake dating. It was supposed to be simple. A few staged kisses. A few convincing dates. No feelings attached. But pretending becomes harder when the chemistry is real, and Rachel soon finds herself trapped between two rival hockey kings. One is the boy she’s loved for years. The other is the one slowly stealing her heart. When the final whistle blows, who will she choose?
