But when she and her partner are ripped off at a regular season competition, she can’t hold back her emotions. She absolutely loses it, screaming that she hates figure skating, and crying that the results were rigged. It doesn’t take long for the aftermath of the competition to go viral and for memes to start circulating the internet, and after becoming the laughingstock of US figure skating, Piper finds herself dumped by her coaches and partner. Now, the only person in the world who is willing to skate with her…is the one person she can’t get along with for more than two seconds. The other issue? He’s not even a figure skater. He’s a hockey player. A hockey player with an agenda that she can’t seem to figure out. less

At her very next show, she strikes a pose to end her program, and just as the lights cut out, she locks eyes with the one person from her hometown that she knew she’d always miss….
