Book one of three in the Skates on Ice trilogy. EMERSON CALDER: One fall. And that one fall almost ended my entire figure skating career. To make matters worse, I could almost taste my first Olympic win... before Onyx Steele, my skating partner, made one mistake during our routine that sent me slamming against the ice. I never blamed him, but my best friend blames himself. We almost made it. Until we didn't. It's been three years, and last year, I decided to take the ice back by becoming my university's hockey mascot. Hidden identity, no one knew it was me, but then? Then I meet Ashton Knox-the university's star hockey player, and we began talking. What was supposed to be one year of being the Wolves mascot turned into two. Because I can't part from the fond friendship I formed with him. He's a distraction from my goals, but I can't stop. He believes in me. But he has no idea who I am underneath this mask. I didn't want to be in a spotlight that wasn't mine. Then, Ashton gets injured on the ice, during a game, and the moment I tear off that mascot head and race over to him, I am thrust right into that same spotlight that isn't mine. Maybe I have far more feelings for the dopey hockey player than I initially realized.
