Kaedyn was the girl with stars in her smile and music in her laugh. If there was a party, she wasn't just at it-she was it. People swore the room felt warmer when she walked in, like the sun came just to hang out with her.

But then she disappeared. No warning, no goodbyes. And when she came back... she wasn't Kaedyn anymore.

The spark was gone. The smile, forced. The light? Snuffed out.

Can he bring her back to life? Or will trying only drag her deeper into the dark?

Sterling Blake wasn't the type to talk. He let the ice speak for him-cold, clean, and sharp. He was known for breaking records, not hearts. But Kaedyn? She was the exception he never acknowledged.

She was his little sister's best friend-the girl who used to sneak into his room just to steal his hoodies and leave behind glitter and chaos. The girl who left without a word. And now she's back.

But this isn't the Kaedyn he remembers. She's quiet. Guarded. Like someone dimmed her soul and walked away with the light.

And suddenly, Sterling's faced with a decision: stay in his lane, or step into hers. Fix what's broken, or protect himself before she pulls him under too.

Because the more he tries to keep her at arm's length, the more he realizes-

You can't skate away from something that's already under your skin.
