After a campus bet forces laser-focused figure skater Amara Desrosiers to fake date golden boy hockey captain Ethan Bennett, she must guard her Olympic-track focus as publicity, secrets, and undeniable chemistry threaten to derail both their seasons. *** Figure skater Amara Desrosiers starts her freshman year in Calgary laser-focused on scholarships, clean programs, and the Olympic track. No distractions, especially not hockey boys. Then a stupid campus bet pairs her with Ethan Bennett, the hockey team's golden captain, whose swagger hides a bruised family past. Soon, their snark sparks into chemistry neither wants, and a push for unity between the ice sport teams leads to a fake dating publicity plan. Between 5 a.m. practices, team after-parties, and the glare of university gossip, Amara fights to protect the dream her mother left her while Ethan tries to be more than a headline on and off the ice. When their bet turns into real stakes and their first "not-a-date" becomes very public, they'll have to choose: guard their goals-or risk them for something that looks a lot like love.
