They've spent their whole lives pushing each other away - only to find themselves pulled together again.
Rowan Archer is chasing gold on the ice. Andrew Knight is fighting for his place on the rink. They've grown up side by side, through every fall, every fight, every stolen moment that neither of them will admit still lingers.
Now, in their junior year of college, they're living under the same roof - and no amount of bickering can hide the tension simmering just beneath the surface. Between figure skating competitions and hockey games, the line between rivalry and something deeper begins to blur.
But falling for someone you've spent your whole life fighting with? That's a risk neither of them knows how to take.
A tender, slow-burn romance about love that's always been there - waiting for its moment in the golden hour.
