For fans of Emma Lord and Abbi Glines, Jennifer Iacopelli's swoony,
romantic new novel follows elite ice dancer Adriana Russo as she finds
herself drawn to both her old dance partner and her new one.
Adriana Russo is figure skating royalty.
With gold-medalist parents, and her older sister headed to the Olympics,
all she wants is to live up to the family name and stand atop the ice
dance podium at the Junior World Championships. But fame doesn't always
mean fortune, and their legendary skating rink is struggling under the
weight of her dad's lavish lifestyle. The only thing keeping it afloat
is a deal to host the rest of the Junior Worlds team before they leave
for France.
That means training on the same ice as her first crush, Freddie, the
partner she left when her growth spurt outpaced his. For the past two
years, he's barely acknowledged her existence, and she can't even blame
him for it.
When the family's finances take another unexpected hit, losing the rink
seems inevitable until her partner, Brayden, suggests they let the world
believe what many have suspected: that their intense chemistry isn't
contained to the ice. Fans and sponsors alike take the bait, but keeping
up the charade is harder than she ever imagined. And training alongside
Freddie makes it worse, especially when pretending with Brayden starts
to feel very real.
As the biggest competition of her life draws closer and her family's
legacy hangs in the balance, Adriana is caught between her past and
present, between the golden future she's worked so hard for, and the one
she gave up long ago.
