Kaia Weatherly thought she had suffered enough when her mom died giving birth to her, but of course her dad had to turn on her too. With practically both parents out of her life, all Kaia has to look forward to is escaping her snowboarding crazed town and following her dream of becoming a renowned neuroscientist. But then she just has to run into the famous Alexander Holland.
When Alexander was young, living with his single mom in Texas, all he wanted to do was find his father, a snowboarding sensation that had left his wife and child to fend for themselves early on. When Alexander's father finally reaches out, Alexander sees the promise of a better life, but sadly just a few months later, his father is killed in a snowboarding accident.
Alexander strives to follow in his father's footsteps, and soon becomes one of the youngest professional snowboarders in the world, but that is still not enough to fill the aching void in his heart. Turning to sex and alcohol, he doesn't see his own mother falling ill or his downward spiral into more dangerous waters.
But maybe Kaia can save him.

"Even if I have to chase you across the world to prove that I love you, then I will, Kaia."

When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem.

What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals.

Chasing the snow
"You know snowboarding isn't my only talent." Jackson's voice dropped to a husky whisper as he leaned in, his breath warm against my ear. I stepped back, heart racing, only to be halted by the counter behind me. But something about the intensity of his presence kept me rooted, the pull of curiosity far stronger than my instinct to escape. "Oh really?" I smirked, playing along, even though a part of me already knew where this was headed. "So, what else are you so good at?" He closed the space between us, his body inches from mine, hands bracing on the counter beside me, his lips dangerously close. "You know exactly what I mean, princess." His voice was a low murmur, sending a shiver through me as he shushed against my ear. *********************************************************** Elena Blackwood thought she could escape her past by moving to the mountains, trading in the life she once knew for the thrill of snowboarding. She came to teach, to breathe in the fresh air of the slopes, where nothing could haunt her. But what she didn't expect was that the luxurious residence she'd be staying in housed the most skilled and sought-after snowboarders in the entire resort. And none more infamous than Jackson Ashford. The king of the slopes, feared by his peers and admired for his talent-until Elena arrives. Her skills, her boldness, and the undeniable chemistry between them threaten to unravel the very reputation Jackson fought so hard to build. What happens when the tension between them grows too thick to ignore, and the boundaries they set between rivalry and desire blur? As Elena's passion for snowboarding and for Jackson heat up, will she be able to keep her distance? Or will the mountain's coldest slopes ignite a fire between them neither can control?Complete
