Melt My Heart
Annee Jones
I didn’t have time for distractions. Every moment of my life was choreographed for perfection on the ice, every jump and spin calculated to bring me closer to the Olympic gold. So when I got paired with Gunnar “Blaze” Hayes for a charity skating routine, I was furious. A reckless speed skater with no regard for rules? Hard pass. Except I couldn’t ignore the fire he brought to the rink—or the way it sparked something in me I hadn’t felt in years.
But then the threats started. At first, I thought it was nerves or bad luck—skates misplaced, lights cutting out. But it wasn’t a coincidence. Someone was targeting me, trying to sabotage my shot at the gold. Could I trust Gunnar to have my back when everything I’d worked for was on the line? Or would his chaos cost me everything?
Skating fast was my escape. The rush of speed, the blur of the world around me—it was freedom. Getting roped into some charity show was supposed to be a joke, just another PR stunt to clean up my bad-boy reputation. And then there was her. Starla McKenzie. Ice-cold perfection wrapped in grace and curves. She hated my guts, and I couldn’t help but love pushing her buttons.
But when the threats against her turned serious, everything changed. I’d do whatever it took to keep her safe, even if it meant putting myself in the line of fire. The more I got to know her, the harder it was to let go. But could I protect her from the danger closing in—or from my own reckless past catching up to us both?
