Amaralyn Vaughn spent nine years turning grief into gold medals. Everyone at Silvercrest University knows her as the ice skater girl — elegant, sharp, and untouchable on the ice. With her long dark brown hair, icy grey-blue eyes, and naturally graceful build, she moves like she was born for the rink. After her mother — a former skating star herself — passed away, skating became more than a sport. It became memory, legacy, survival. Then the hockey team starts practicing in the same rink. Silvercrest University only has one main ice rink, normally shared between the ice skating team and the hockey team on different days and time slots to avoid conflict. But due to scheduling changes, both teams are now forced to practice there at the same time. And that’s where everything starts. Kaiden Mercer is 22, tall as fuck, extremely muscular from years of hockey, and carries that natural intimidating presence that makes people step aside without thinking. Dark messy hair, green eyes, sharp jaw, constant bruises — he looks like trouble even when he’s not trying. Cocky, shameless, emotionally unavailable — and he does NOT do relationships at all, strictly hook-ups only, no strings attached. Everyone on campus knows he never dates, never commits, and always leaves before things get serious. So when the coldest girl on campus looks at him like he’s nothing? That gets under his skin. Now between chaotic teammates, sarcastic ice skaters, late-night practices, campus drama, and way too much tension on the ice… things are about to get messy. And maybe a little dangerous.
