"Ice skating ruined me, Jackson!" I shrieked as fat tears streaked my face. Jackson stormed over to me, seemingly furious with me before he grabbed my face and searched my eyes, searching for...something.
"But it also created you."
°°°
In ice skating, a jump can either make or break you.
Unfortunately for Everly Mason, it broke her. Her career went into a standstill, it became frozen, more so than ice itself. It left her wondering who she is, who she's meant to become. It took the sport she adored away from her, and all it took was that one moment for her to turn her back on the ice, and refuse to ever lay eyes on it again.
But, with some hope and effort, that's all set to change with Jackson Moore. Known to be one of the greatest male skaters in Australia, Jackson is tasked with restoring the most talented female figure skater.
The only problem? The trauma Everly experienced stops her from even looking at the ice, so how is she supposed to get back to her full potential? How can she re-attempt what once broke her?
Can Everly face her fears and accomplish what she failed to do last year? Can she overcome the battles of the ice? And what could Australia's best male skater possibly do to reverse the damage done? And the biggest question of all: can she do it?
Will she shatter the ice, or will the ice shatter her?
Life's just not worth living, I mutter under my breath.
Then how's death worth dying? Jackson asks in return.

Danielle Forlorm is breathing. And yet, she is very much dead. A corpse with a smile and nobody notices. Nobody knows or even cares that she's felt like a stillborn her whole life. Just like her stories. Dead and not worth a second look.
Until her world collides with Jackson Palmer. Mr Perfect with his easy life and bright future. Or so people think.
Set on reviving Danielle, Jackson creates a once in a life time bucket list made up from everything daring that Danielle's characters have done in the stories she's written.
"Stop writing about the life you want to live and start living it."
But can Jackson bring this stillborn back to life before it's too late?

"This story is not getting a happy ending, Jackson Palmer."
"Well, Dani, at least we'll have quite the adventure before all that."
