Ava Leah has always lived by one rule: never let anyone get too close. As one of Briar University's rising ice skating stars, she's graceful on the ice, fierce off it, and impossible to ignore. With her golden blonde hair, striking beauty, and sharp attitude, Ava knows how to keep people at a distance - even when all she really wants is someone who understands her.
Garrett Graham, Briar's hockey captain, is used to being the center of attention. Confident, charming, and determined, Garrett never expected to be distracted by the one girl who refuses to fall for his usual flirting. Ava Leah is different. She's stubborn, fiery, and challenges him in ways no one else ever has.
What starts as teasing arguments and stolen glances soon turns into something deeper neither of them can control. Between late-night practices, pressure from school, and the fear of getting hurt, Ava and Garrett must decide if love is worth risking the walls they've spent years building.
