When her mother's fashion empire falls into scandal, 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤 is automatically involved, and her image is on the line. 𝐒𝐤𝐲𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐞 is a cold, powerful attorney, hired to silence the scandal and control London. But some entanglements blur the line between control and desire. And not all of them are meant to be undone.

"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.

A sleepover, a lingering scent, and one useless gay slowly realizing the perfume was never the problem. It was always the girl wearing it. ----- Plot by @twiceisbabies | Written by @ezliciity (inspo: Anthony Bridgerton and Pato's discord yapping)

They were rivals once, two brilliant minds clashing in lecture halls, until rivalry softened into laughter, and laughter into love. One was sunshine-reckless, witty, alive. The other was steel-serious, sharp, and unyielding. Together, they were balance. But behind quiet eyes lay a secret too heavy to speak. A diary became her only confidant, its pages inked with truths she could not bear to say aloud. When silence claimed her, the diary remained - a testament of love, of pain, and of the courage it takes to reveal what the world prefers to keep hidden.

This book may NOT be reproduced, reposted, copied, or translated in any way unless you receive permission directly from the author. Camille Rousseau is used to the pressure. As the daughter of a legendary figure skater, she's spent her entire life striving to be the best-pushing herself harder, faster, and farther. But when she's forced to share the ice with Aurora Bennett, Camille's world is turned upside down. Aurora doesn't just glide on the ice; she owns it. Confident, competitive, and effortlessly talented, Aurora is everything Camille hates-everything Camille fears she'll never be. The two are rivals, both driven by the weight of family expectations and their burning need to be the top athlete. But when fate and the rink force them into close quarters, the animosity between them begins to shift into something neither of them can control. Trapped together, their forced proximity ignites a firestorm of tension. Camille can't decide if she wants to throttle Aurora or kiss her. Aurora's confidence rattles Camille's composure, and every touch on the ice sends sparks flying. But as they push each other to new limits, they find that their rivalry is just the beginning of something much deeper, more complicated-and far more dangerous to their hearts.
