She's the Ice Queen of Hauck University. He's the Captain with the world at his feet. But when the rink lights go down, the real game begins.
To the rest of the world, Maya Vance is untouchable—a figure skating powerhouse who doesn't have time for the rowdy hockey players who share her rink. But Maya is living a double life. By day, she's chasing a gold medal that's her only ticket out of poverty. By night, she's "Employee 402" at a greasy drive-thru, praying no one recognizes her behind the visor.
Caleb Thorne is the king of the ice. With an NHL contract waiting and a reputation for being the most disciplined Captain in the league, he's never met a problem he couldn't check into the boards. Until he pulls up to a late-night window and sees the school's most haughty skater wearing a polyester apron and a look of pure exhaustion.
When a facility crisis forces them to share ice time, Caleb makes Maya a deal she's too desperate to refuse: he'll use his varsity perks to keep her on her feet if she keeps her biting tongue in check.
But as the pressure of the qualifiers mounts and a wealthy rival threatens to expose Maya's secrets, the line between an alliance and an attraction starts to blur. In a world where one fall can cost you everything, Maya and Caleb must decide if they're playing to win—or playing for keeps.
