Freshmen year at Silverwood University was supposed to be a clean slate for elite figure skater Y/N Brooks—even if it meant sharing an arena with her hyper-overprotective older brother, Leo. She never anticipated Asher Cross. He’s the hockey team's brooding, 6'3" co-captain, top NHL prospect, and her brother's absolute best friend. He is strictly off-limits. But behind Asher's fierce, unbothered game-face is a rare, dimpled smile reserved entirely for Y/N. What starts as high-tension proximity during early morning ice transitions quickly spirals into a forbidden, high-stakes slow burn. Stealing glances soon turns into sneaking around the post-game Hockey House parties, but on this ice, one wrong move will shatter more than just a secret.
