Story Description
Milena Crosby spent years building herself into someone untouchable.
Olympic-bound figure skater. Daughter of hockey legend Sidney Crosby. Cold, composed, impossible to read. The media thinks her life is perfect - fame, money, talent handed to her before she could even skate.
They're wrong.
Will Smith has spent just as many years deciding exactly who Milena is without ever trying to know her. Arrogant, sarcastic, and annoyingly talented, the young Will Smith forward treats every interaction between them like a battle he refuses to lose.
From the moment they met, they hated each other.
Or at least that's what they tell themselves.
Every season becomes the same routine: sharp comments across arenas, heated arguments in family suites, lingering stares neither of them can explain. But beneath the rivalry, both of them are hiding things nobody else sees - pressure, loneliness, expectations, and the kind of childhood wounds that never fully disappear.
When Milena's skating career explodes after a history-making performance on the international stage, Will starts realizing the girl he judged for years is nothing like he imagined.
And Milena begins to understand that sometimes the people who see through you the easiest are the ones you fight the hardest to push away.
Set between NHL arenas, international skating competitions, and cities that feel too cold to hold secrets, Edges of Hate is a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about ambition, grief, family, and two people learning that surviving isn't the same thing as healing.
