Samira 'Ira' Bitar is a 19-year-old trying to find her way through medical studies, being a baby figure skater at an ultra-competitive rink while also trying to step out of her brother's perfect hockey player shadow without being the family's total failure.
On the other side of the rink - and usually the Atlantic too - is pro athlete team USA reject Kai Xu, at 22 and far from home Kai has always kept away from the locals, too focused on fixing the mistakes of two years ago.
When Ira meets Kai properly during a coffee-filled study session at an overpriced cafe, nothing really happens ... until it does, and suddenly Kai's attention is less on skating and more on the short black-haired beauty hiding near the barriers; and when Ira's journal is forgotten after practice, Kai realises ira might be as shy as she first thought and Ira might just be falling for someone in a different league all together. In more ways than one.

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.

Sasha Belrose doesn't date hockey players. Not after what happened last time. As the coach's daughter, she's grown up around the rink, watching the game she loves be played by boys she can't trust. She keeps her head down, helps coach the little league, and makes sure her rules stay unbroken. Then Beckett Reid transfers in. Six-foot-something, cocky grin, golden hair, and a habit of finding her in every room. He's reckless on the ice, infuriating off of it, and obsessed with getting past her walls. When her dad forces them to co-coach the little league team, she's trapped in shared space with the one player she swore she'd avoid. And the worst part? Beckett doesn't just get under her skin - he makes her laugh, makes her feel seen, and makes her forget every reason she told herself to stay away. But Sasha knows what happens when she lets someone in. Beckett knows he's not going to stop until she does. And with every practice, every stolen glance, and every rule she's tempted to break, the ice between them gets thinner. And thinner. And thinner...
