Serafina's done playing small. A plus-size social worker with a warrior's heart, she laced up her skates long before life knocked her down with divorce, trauma, and loss. Now, in her thirties, she's trading the past for a fresh start in the icy quiet of New Hampshire-chasing real connection, chosen family, and a life that doesn't just survive, but roars back to life.
Alessio's stepping off the ice for the last time, his glory days fading like a final period's echo. Love failed him. His mind turned on him. But in the silence after the crowd, he's finally hearing his own voice-telling him to fight for the future he's always wanted, not the one everyone else scripted.
When two broken skates find the same rink, sparks fly faster than a slapshot. This isn't just a love story. It's a rebellion-of healing, of self-worth, of building family from the pieces. Strap in. The comeback starts now. 🏒🔥
