Olivia Kelsey used to live on the ice.
It was where she felt strongest. Where everything made sense. Where every movement, every spin, every breath belonged to her.
She was once one of the best figure skaters anyone had ever seen - graceful, fearless, and destined for a future built entirely on frozen ground.
Until one moment changed everything.
An accident that nearly cost her her life shattered more than just her body. It broke something deeper. Something she hasn't been able to fix since.
Now, just the thought of ice is enough to make her heart race, her palms sweat, and her head fill with memories she has spent years trying to escape. Memories she can't outrun, no matter how far she goes.
So she leaves it behind.
She accepts it.
She accepts that she will never step foot near an ice rink again.
And for a while, she almost believes it.
Until Briar University forces her into a world she swore she had left behind.
New people. New routines. A new version of herself that no longer exists on the ice.
After owing her friend Hannah a favour, she reluctantly agrees to tutor the star hockey captain, Garrett Graham - a boy who is everything she should stay away from.
Loud. Confident. Impossible to ignore.
And constantly in her space.
Olivia only wants to disappear into a normal life. To blend in. To stay unseen. To forget everything she used to be.
But that's difficult when the hockey rink is always nearby... when the sound of blades carving ice echoes through the halls... when every step she takes seems to lead her closer to something she swore she'd never return to.
And somehow, the boy she should avoid the most...
becomes the only thing keeping her from falling apart completely.
