Autumn has wanted one thing for as long as she can remember: to wear white at Wimbledon. Since she was six years old, every early morning, every blistered hand, every ignored ache has been in service of that dream.
Ned has wanted to be in the NHL. Ice in his veins, a stick in his hands, and a future he's been skating toward his entire life.
When the two of them are forced to train in the same elite gym and share the same sponsors, friction is inevitable. Autumn sees him as loud, careless, and distracting, everything she refuses to be. Ned sees her as rigid, relentless, and wound too tight to ever breathe.
What begins as irritation turns into rivalry. Rivalry turns into something neither of them are prepared for.
As Autumn pushes herself harder than ever, her body starts to crack under the pressure she refuses to acknowledge. And the last person she wants noticing is the boy who looks at her like he sees more than just her wins.
Because falling for him might be the one thing that costs her everything she's ever worked for.
