KISS AND CRY

Beneath the ice lies fire, and neither of them is ready to let it burn out.

Natasha Steele has always let her blades speak for her. As a member of the U.S. National Figure Skating Team and a standout at Killian University, she thrives in the exacting solitude of her sport, where precision and poise are everything. But her world starts to crack when she crosses paths with Cyrus Pierce, the charismatic and unpredictable captain of the hockey team.

Cyrus is everything Natasha has learned to avoid-loud, reckless, and far too charming for his own good. Yet, something about his presence lingers, stirring emotions she thought she'd buried beneath the ice. Their worlds couldn't be more different, yet they keep colliding, first in chance encounters, then in moments that neither of them can explain-or resist.

As the stakes rise on and off the ice, Natasha finds herself questioning the balance she's worked so hard to maintain. Cyrus, too, struggles with the weight of his own secrets, the pressures of leadership, and a desire that pulls him dangerously close to Natasha.

In the unforgiving glare of competition and the quiet, stolen hours of the night, they begin to find pieces of themselves in each other. But with everything to lose and no safety net beneath them, how far can they fall before they shatter?
