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 or any of the other real people, they are their own person, but I did my best to make their characters like themselves irl.
