Five years ago, Evie Rosewood vanished into thin air.
No goodbye to her team. No explanation to her fellow skaters. And not a single word to her main coach-the woman who consumed her thoughts, commanded her ice, and unknowingly broke her heart. Scared by the terrifying depth of her feelings for Eteri at eighteen, Evie packed a bag in the middle of the night and traded Moscow's frost for the neon glare of Los Angeles.
Now, at twenty-three, Evie is Team USA's golden girl. On the surface, she's thriving-blonder, hotter, winning medals, and rebuilding a life completely on her own terms. But off the ice, the media circus never sleeps. Ever since her silent departure, Eteri has dragged Evie's name through the mud in every interview, press conference, and social media post possible. Evie, never one to back down, gave as good as she got. For five years, their dynamic has been defined by ice-cold spite and sharp-tongued petty feuds splashed across headlines worldwide.
The world thinks they hate each other. And maybe they do.
But when tragedy strikes in LA and Evie's world collapses with the death of her father, the high-gloss facade shatters. In her darkest hour, surrounded by people who only know the glamorous athlete, Evie finds herself craving the comfort of the one person who knows every scar on her soul... and the only person who currently despises her existence.
Because rumors are vicious. But the truth under the ice is deadly.
