"You're beautiful, but cold." That is what Cassidy Coletti-Ivanova has always thought about Zephyrine Roy. And maybe she is right. In Ravenswood, Canada, sports matter more than personality. People care more about who you are on the ice or on the mountain than who you are when nobody is watching. Growing up together is supposed to be easy. Your parents are best friends, so you are raised side by side. For Zephyrine and Cassidy, it never worked. They were like oil and water. Zephyrine, the reckless snowboarder with blue eyes, pale skin, black hair, and a mouth full of sarcasm, learned how to act like she did not care about anything. Cassidy, the brunette figure skater with hazel eyes, warm olive skin, and too many expectations on her shoulders, learned to believe she would never be enough. No matter how hard everyone tried, the two girls still ended up hating each other. Or at least, that is what they tell themselves. Because beneath the rivalry, the comparisons, and everything they never say, they mirror each other more than either of them wants to admit. Both are haunted by the same ghost, and by a past that seems to creep closer every winter. Then Cassidy starts dating Zephyrine's brother. And suddenly, the girl Zephyrine has spent her whole life trying to push away is impossible to avoid. Maybe Cassidy dating Zephyrine's brother brings Cassidy closer to Zephyrine in all the ways she secretly wished it would... and brings Zephyrine closer to Cassidy in ways she never imagined she wanted. Because sometimes, the first person who taught you how to be cold... is also the one who starts melting the ice. 𝗣.𝗦: 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗭𝗘𝗥𝗢 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀.

Burned out, suffocated by fame, and haunted by a stalker no one else knows about, Felicity flees to her mothers' quiet Toronto lake house just to breathe for the first time in years. She doesn't expect Harriet Johnson to walk through the door with a suitcase and a key. Harriet has spent the last four years running from her past-alcohol addiction, heartbreak, and the memory of the only girl she's ever loved. Sober now and fighting her way through med school, she only wanted a quiet summer. She didn't know Felicity would be here. She didn't know that sharing a roof again would feel like falling into a storm she thought she'd survived. They were childhood best friends turned teenage lovers-until Harriet broke Felicity's heart in the worst possible way. Now they're twenty-two, trapped by old history and new secrets, in the same house that once held their whispered dreams and first kisses. The deal is simple: her side, my side. But nothing about Felicity and Harriet has ever been simple. Not the history, not the wanting, not the way every look feels like a dare and every brush of skin threatens to set them both on fire. In the thick of July, in a house full of memories, two girls who once had everything will have to decide if second chances are worth the risk-and if loving each other is worth surviving for.
