He's never believed in love. She's spent her whole life dreaming of it, while secretly being afraid of it.
Zayn Logan is the hockey team's golden boy and team captain, the talented player everyone wants to know and the guy everyone warns you not to fall for. He doesn't do relationships. He doesn't do commitment. There's always another girl, another party, another excuse to keep his heart safely out of reach.
Nikova Sinclair is nothing like him.
She's a dedicated figure skater with a hopelessly romantic heart. She believes in soulmates, forever, and the kind of love that makes you feel completely safe with another person.
At least, she wants to believe in it.
Her last relationship taught her that love can hurt. The boy she once trusted betrayed her, cheated on her, and treated her in ways she never deserved. Now, even though a part of Nikova still dreams of finding her person, another part of her is terrified of letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again.
So she keeps her heart guarded.
And then there's Zayn Logan.
They've never gotten along. Every conversation turns into an argument. Every encounter becomes a competition. He thinks she's too serious, too stubborn, and far too obsessed with fairy-tale love.
She thinks he's arrogant, careless, and exactly the kind of guy she should stay away from.
Unfortunately, their worlds keep colliding at the same rink.
Late-night practices. Unexpected conversations. Jealousy neither of them wants to admit to. Secrets slowly coming to light. And moments that make Nikova question everything she thought she knew about him.
Nikova is terrified of trusting someone with her heart again.
But sometimes, the person you least expect is the one who teaches you that love doesn't have to hurt.
