Gorgeous
Marcus Rowan Malinin is sixteen, unbeatable, and fully aware of it. A competitive figure skater with effortless charm, brown eyes, and a legacy built by Olympic legends, winning has always come easy. Confidence is his second nature. Losing isn't.
Until Valerie Wren Smith.
Fiery, stubborn, and impossibly talented, Valerie is a redheaded force on the ice. Emancipated, raising herself alongside six siblings, she skates with nothing to lose-and everything to prove. She doesn't care about Marcus's name, his smile, or his reputation.
Which makes her dangerous.
What starts as rivalry-sharp words and closer scores-turns into something neither of them planned. Because some opponents don't just push you to be better.
They make you fall.
I do not own Ilia Malinin, he is his own person, but I did my best to make his character like him irl.
