Rhys is desperate to feel anything.Sadie wants to stop feeling so much. Rhys
Koteskiy is back?at least, he?s supposed to be. During last year?s Frozen Four,
the Waterfell University hockey captain and NHL legacy took a brutal hit that
left him with a concussion and a new discomfort on the ice. Plagued by
nightmares and panic attacks every time he attempts to skate, Rhys wonders if
he?ll ever play again?or if he?ll ever want to. Sadie Brown is staying focused
this semester?no matter what. Currently drowning in debt, custody hearings for
her younger brothers, and skating practices, she?s just trying to make it to the
next day. A spitfire figure skater known for her bad attitude and frequent
disappearing acts, Sadie has a reputation on campus. And it?s not a pretty one.
When she accidentally witnesses one of the golden boy hockey captain?s panic
attacks and attempts to help him, a strange sort of understanding strikes up
between them. No questions asked. Just comfort. But Rhys finds himself drawn to
Sadie. Where he feels empty, a shell of the man and player he was before, Sadie
is so full of everything, it bursts from her; every emotion she feels seems like
it?s blasted at max volume. Rhys is desperate to feel anything. Sadie wants to
stop feeling so much. But healing doesn?t mix with secrets, and they?re both
skating on thin ice.
