Winter Everdeen had everything it took to win... except first place.
Finishing second in the karting championship didn't just cost her the title-it cost her the sponsor that held her dream together. Far from home, from her family, and from the track she once knew so well, Winter is forced to start over while battling the most dangerous doubt of all: the one inside her own mind.
Finding refuge in the prestigious Russo household, Winter tries to rebuild her confidence and remember why she fell in love with racing in the first place. But her already fragile routine takes an unexpected turn when a near accident on her way home brings her face to face with Brayden Elliot, a figure skater as talented as he is complicated.
What begins as a chaotic encounter soon turns into an unavoidable coexistence: Brayden ends up training under the same roof as the Russos. Between early mornings, uncomfortable silences, and glances that say more than they should, the tension begins to grow... and not just on the track or on the ice.
