Laney Kensington lives on ice - both literally and emotionally. A fierce, ambitious figure skater with her eyes locked on the Olympics, she's trained to shut out distractions, swallow pain, and hide behind the name "Laney" so no one gets close enough to discover the real girl: Evangeline Rosalie Kensington.

When they're forced to share ice time at the same training rink, it's war. Verbal jabs, glares at the Zamboni, and a mutual vow to never mix blades.
