"Ice Princess goes Spinning Out."
It all started with a dare...
sort of.
Each year, there are a limited number of spots at The Dupont Academy of Ice.
An invitation is a dream until it's not, and things are never easy for the disruptor. Ana Petrov has been the wildcard for years, but this year could bring a halt to her legacy when she's left without a figure skating pair right before Olympic training season's about to start. Watching her skating nemesis, Troy Larsson, also lose his pair was supposed to bring her joy, until she learns that their previous partners have joined forces as their new competition.
Ana won the gold two Olympics ago. Troy won it last.
This time, the only way to win might be to join the same team.
Will they rip each other apart before they see any medal?
Passion and heat are aplenty come the Games, but watching your back is a must because one rarely plays nice at the Larsson Ice Rink. All's fair in The Academy.
