Five years ago, Maksim Orlov and Crystal Wong shared a love as intense as it was fleeting. Maksim, a promising young hockey player in Russia, and Crystal, a bright student from Singapore, were worlds apart but fell deeply in love during Crystal's study-abroad program. When family obligations called her back to Singapore, Crystal left Maksim without explanation, leaving him devastated and heartbroken.
Now, Maksim is a top hockey star, invited to play for Singapore's newly established professional hockey league. Crystal, now a successful event coordinator for major sports tournaments, is tasked with managing the league's promotional events. When their paths cross again, the chemistry is undeniable, but so are the unresolved wounds of the past. Forced to work together, they must navigate the tension between their lingering feelings, their careers, and the dreams they've worked so hard to build.
Amidst the bright lights of Singapore and the ice-cold world of hockey, Blades and Heat explores the themes of second chances, healing, and cultural exchange. Can Maksim and Crystal overcome the pain of their past to build a future together, or will the scars of their separation be too deep to heal?
