I’m working with my team’s new skating coach, Maddy Macer, to get me back into shape so I can play again.
One problem: we can’t stand each other.
We clash constantly. She thinks I’m grumpy and arrogant. I think she’s spoiled and inexperienced.
But the more time we spend together, the more I realize I was wrong about this beautiful and feisty figure skater.
With her training, I’m playing better than I have in years.
And when the tension between us moves off the ice and into the bedroom, things turn explosive in the hottest way…
The more I’m around Maddy, the harder it becomes to ignore my feelings for her.
We’re supposed to be friends with benefits, nothing more.
But I can’t deny how desperately I’m falling for her.
