Madelyn Spier spends hours each day holding the hand of the most popular boy at school...on the ice.  She wants more than their figure skating partnership, and a romantic new program could be her big break.  Or a big break-up, since the only thing that rivals Gabriel Nielsen's number of medals is his number of ex-girlfriends.  But just like her father, Senator Spier, Maddy is dedicated, determined, and driven.  She's not about to let a few crash landings get in her way.  

Gabe knows Maddy has a crush on him but he hasn't spent years braving a freezing ice rink at five in the morning to have his Olympic hopes shattered by yet another break-up.  He's not getting involved with Maddy – until their coach convinces him to pretend to be in love with her.  As the line between pretend and reality blurs, Maddy and Gabe discover the Senator's hiding a secret of his own.  Can they keep their trust in each other and achieve their golden dreams as their families crack apart?
