At Briarwood University, Emery Blake has always been in control. As a dedicated figure skater, she's spent her life perfecting every glide, every spin, and every jump, pushing herself to be the best. But after a career-altering injury, her world begins to unravel. Struggling to regain her confidence, Emery finds herself at a crossroads-caught between the ghosts of her past and the uncertain future that lies ahead.
Her carefully controlled life is further disrupted when she's forced to work with Liam Callahan, the cocky, hot-headed hockey captain with a reputation for being a reckless troublemaker.
Liam's own past is full of regret and guilt, driving him to make self-destructive choices in a desperate bid to escape his demons. When a freak accident forces him to team up with Emery, sparks fly-both on the ice and off.
What starts as a forced partnership quickly becomes a complicated relationship, filled with tension, rivalry, and a connection neither of them can ignore. As their paths cross in ways they never expected, they both start to realize they might be the only ones who understand the other's pain.
But as they push each other to confront their fears and vulnerabilities, their relationship threatens to spiral out of control. With both of them grappling with their own personal battles, they must decide if they can trust each other enough to heal or if their pasts will continue to haunt them.
In a world where strength is measured in more than just athleticism, Where the Ice Cracks is a raw and emotional story about love, redemption, and learning to face the cracks in our hearts before they break us entirely.
