About this ebook

A hockey player and a former figure skater get a second chance at love in this hot sports romance from a USA Today bestselling author, perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Elle Kennedy, and Grace Reilly. 
  
Zoe Carson, former figure skating queen, needs a fresh start as a hockey skating coach. An NHL gig with the New York Legends is her big chance. Unfortunately, that means facing off against the star player who broke her heart ten years ago.  
  
Chase Merritt knows his game is off, and he’s on the verge of losing sponsors. But he doesn’t need the ice princess from that intense college summer showing up and telling him what he’s doing wrong—even when she’s right. 
  
On the ice, they’re magic. Off the ice, they’re nothing but heat and stubbornness, and everyone on the team is enjoying the show. But when an old video of Zoe and Chase’s figure skating routine goes viral, they’re forced to work together more intimately than ever before. Can the two get it right this time or will the whole world watch them crash and burn?

Ratings and reviews

Old enough to fall in love, too young to face the challenges of life! These two epitomized that, and ten years later, have a chance to meet again. Things aren’t easy, old hurts linger, and pain still radiates. The attraction, the pull to each other, that is still front and center, and after a while, they start to have cracks in their resolve. They start to open little pieces to each other. They start to capture some of what they had before. Maturity brings clarity
