Anastasia Allen has dedicated her entire life to one dream: making it to Team USA in figure skating. When she earns a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills, and a coveted spot on their elite skating team, it seems like everything is falling into place.

Nothing will derail her plans—not even Nate Hawkins, the cocky captain of the hockey team. Nate’s only concern is leading his team to victory, but when a rink scheduling issue forces the two teams to share space, tensions run high—especially between Nate and Anastasia, who can barely stand each other.

But when Anastasia’s skating partner is sidelined by an unexpected setback, she might have no choice but to rely on Nate for help. As they spend more time together, sparks start to fly—though Anastasia is sure of one thing: she could never fall for a hockey player... or could she?
