AuroraDreamer Romance

“She was the fallen queen of figure skating. He was the most feared man in short-track speed skating. Everly Frost once had everything: a promising career, Olympic dreams, and a partner she trusted with her heart. Then one devastating injury shattered her ankle, her fiancé abandoned her for her biggest rival, and the skating world decided she was finished. At twenty-two, Everly is running out of time, money, and chances. When her home rink is condemned, the last thing she expects is an offer from the powerful Mercer family. Free access to the country's elite training facility could save her career. The catch? She has to work with Knox Mercer. Knox is fast, reckless, and impossible to ignore. A suspension has turned him from skating superstar into public disgrace, and his legendary father is determined to force discipline into him before he destroys his future for good. Knox sees Everly as a distraction. Everly sees Knox as an arrogant brute who believes the world belongs to him. Neither wants the partnership. Neither gets a choice. As brutal training sessions turn into late-night conversations and fierce rivalry gives way to undeniable attraction, the line between hatred and desire begins to blur. For the first time in years, Everly starts to believe she can have a future again. But the past refuses to stay buried. When her ex-fiancé and former rival launch a public campaign to destroy her comeback, Everly finds herself at the center of another scandal. This time, Knox refuses to stand aside. In front of cameras, sponsors, and the entire skating world, he steps to her side and makes his choice clear. Now everyone is watching. As championship dreams, family expectations, and old betrayals threaten to tear them apart, Everly and Knox must decide what matters more: winning the careers they almost lost, or risking everything for a love neither of them saw coming. Because some fires burn hottest on ice.”
