Description
As six-year-old neighbours, Maddy and Gabe held mittened hands and stepped onto the ice for the first time. As high school seniors, they're poised to become world-class figure skaters, on the path to the Olympic podium. Maddy has been in love from the start, watching from the sidelines as girl after girl falls for her gorgeous partner. When the coach picks Romeo & Juliet for their theme, it's Maddy's chance to be more than just friends.
Gabe never dates a girl for more than two weeks, and he relies on Maddy too much to risk it. His friends would mock them, her dad would kill him, and long-term romance is a world of problems. Better to think of Maddy as a sister, when anything more can only end in tragedy.
Lies and secrecy. Attraction and temptation. Family turmoil and shifting identities. In Katie Van Ark's sizzling debut, heated determination faces cold resistance in a competition for more than gold.
