After a devastating betrayal by her former skating partner leaves her stranded for a year, twenty-two-year-old Hannah is forced back onto the ice to save her competitive career. Bound by a pairs-skating contract she cannot break without shattering her Olympic dreams, her deeply supportive agent and her high-energy, technical genius of a coach, Elena, use the agency's elite matching program to give her a fresh start. Enter Liam Vance—a brilliant, effortlessly talented skater with a sharp jawline, messy dark hair, and a maddeningly confident smirk. Terrified of trusting her physical safety to another partner, Hannah immediately erects a wall of sharp sass and icy professionalism, writing Liam off as an arrogant jerk to protect her vulnerable heart. However, Liam isn't easily deterred; highly perceptive and fiercely reliable on the ice, he finds her fiery defenses completely delightful and is determined to play the long game to earn her trust. The second their blades hit the ice, their technical chemistry is flawless and undeniable, forcing Hannah to battle a partner who isn't just a perfect match for her skills, but entirely determined to melt her defenses.
