Isabelle Volkov is a skating prodigy. Every move, every jump, every landing-controlled by Marina Orlova, her coach, mentor. She's won medals, broken records, and lived a life of discipline. But it's not enough.
When Alysa Liu, her childhood crush and former rival, reenters her world, everything Izzy thought she knew about love, loyalty, and herself is challenged. Can she chase the gold without losing herself? Can she love without losing control?
High stakes, fierce rivalries, and forbidden connections collide in a story about power, passion, and finding your own way-on the ice and in your heart.
