KATYA’s got a problem. For years, the so-called “Ice Queen” has always been on top—of the podium and the rankings. Only now, her teammates have begun pulling ahead, and what starts as a gradual slip in scores ends up bringing her to rock bottom after a nasty fall.

BRYAN’s in trouble. Despite a promising start to his career, his worsening family life sent him into a downward spiral, and the higher-ups are finally starting to notice. He’s dead weight, and they’re pressuring his coach, Lian, to do something about it.

So she does. Lian seizes the opportunity to snatch the Ice Queen up and put her on Team USA just in time for the Olympics—and save her own skater in the process.

Katya reluctantly agrees, expecting to keep doing her own thing, on her own terms. She’s sure not expecting to be put into pairs with a second-rate competitor on his last stop before total oblivion. Bryan, for one, isn’t expecting her to be such a bully.

They may hate each other on sight, but it’s their last shot. They have to skate together if they want to skate at all…it’s just a matter of making sure they don’t kill each other before they make it to the Olympics.
