Speed skating is a sport where you turn left over and over again at insane speeds with a lack of protective equipment, slicing through the ice with a sharp blade. It's one of the most unusual and intense sports in the world and is commonly overlooked.
**********
Jordan Parks is a girl who grew up skating, falling in love with the way she could glide forward as if she was taking flight. At a young age, she and five of her best friends vowed that they'd one day skate together on the short-track speed skating Olympic team. But Jordan was only a child back then. She was still naΓ―ve to the way dreams and asperations could change overnight.
After high school, she goes on to attend Humber College in Toronto, Canada. There she meets an odd bunch of new friends. As well as an old face from her inline days. Kai Kendrick, her childhood best friend's rival.

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.

Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem.

With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals.
