The weather might be icy, but the tension is red-hot in this rom-com set in the world of international hockey from the author of Let the Games Begin.
When Ari, reluctant captain of Team Great Britain's ice hockey team, meets Drew, an aspiring photographer from Boston, on a rooftop on New Year's Eve, they share the secrets and red flags they would never reveal on a first date. While their chemistry is instant, they're from opposite sides of the Atlantic, and are more than confident they'll never see each other again.
But two months later, when they unexpectedly cross paths at the 2026 Winter Games in Switzerland,
a combination of complicated exes, over-involved families, and stress-inducing teammates convinces Ari and Drew that the perfect solution to their problems is...to fake date their way through the Games.
As the competition heats up and the pressure grows, their secrets catch up to them, and their fake relationship gives way to real feelings. Over the course of two snowy weeks in St. Moritz, Ari and Drew must decide whether to stick to the vow they made on New Year's Eve or let themselves get swept up by the sparks that have been flying since the night they met...even if their relationship was doomed from the start.
