Samenvatting:

An addictive grumpy x sunshine skating romance packed with slow burn tension, fake dating, and sizzling chemistry - perfect for fans of Elle Kennedy and Heated Rivalry

'This book was PEAK slow burn….I could not get enough of the tension and lingering looks!'

MATILDA
I’ve spent years being the sweetheart of Stars on Ice - smiling, skating, and never quite winning. This season is different. I need that prize money, and I need it badly.

What I don’t need? Luca Vasvault.

My new partner is perfect on paper: a gorgeous ex-Hollywood star with a body built for the ice. But in reality? He’s brooding, difficult, and determined to make my life miserable.

And even worse than that? He’s the one man I can’t stop thinking about.

LUCA
I’m not here to make friends - I’m here to fix my reputation. Stars on Ice is just another performance, and Matilda Stevens is just part of the act.

She should be easy to keep at a distance. After all, she's everything I don't trust: too pretty, too polished, and impossible to read.

Matilda needs to win as badly as I do, though, and our chemistry on the ice is undeniable. So we strike a deal: fake a relationship off the ice, give the public something to obsess over, and turn the attention into votes.

But it’s getting harder to pretend the way I feel about Matilda is just part of the show. And now, there’s more on the line than just the competition…
