Žhavá hokejová romance od autorky Zakázaného uvolnění. Elias je nově draftovaný hokejista v NHL. I když mu to není právě příjemné, média ho pronásledují na každém kroku, a všechny hlavně zajímá, s kým právě chodí. Začínající baletka Sage by naopak víc mediální pozornosti potřebovala, aby konečně dosáhla na angažmá ve vysněném divadle a hlavní role. Předstíraný vztah by pomohl Eliasovi i Sage, ale domluvená pravidla jejich falešného randění přestanou brzy platit. Jak dlouho asi zůstane u pouhého předstírání?
The road to redemption is far from smooth as ice in this sweeping romance between a figure skater and hockey player from the USA Today bestselling author of Collide. Sierra Romanova was an Olympian figure skater before a life-altering accident on the ice left her with panic attacks every time she enters the rink. Now, back for her final year at Dalton University, she’s ready to reclaim the spotlight, with all eyes on her…including those of hockey player Dylan Donovan, whose audacious words goad her back into her skates to prove him wrong. After getting kicked off his hockey team for his reckless behavior, Dylan is left with slim chances of making it to the NHL draft. But Dylan’s whole world revolves around the ice, and if hockey is forbidden, well at least there’s figure skating. Even better, it means more time at the rink with Sierra. Sure, he’s helping her rebuild her confidence, but pushing her buttons along the way? That’s just a bonus. As the figure skating world awaits Sierra's comeback, she finds herself in need for a new pairs partner. The only person she knows who can match her skill on the ice is none other than the cocky hockey player who refuses to cut her any slack. Dylan's a wildcard, Sierra's a seasoned pro, but together, they might just be the perfect match on the ice.
The story revolves around Elias Westbrook, a rookie hockey player grappling with fame and media pressure, and Sage Beaumont, an aspiring ballerina seeking recognition. Their paths cross when Sage proposes a fake-dating arrangement to boost her visibility and help Elias escape the spotlight. As they navigate this charade, their initial boundaries blur, leading to a powerful connection. Both must confront their feelings and decide whether to embrace their relationship or end it before it becomes too complicated.
