Meet Kriss: astronomy grad student headed home to her small town with a Ph.D. survival plan—skate and graduate. No falling involved. Of any sort.

And Chase: her number one fan since high school and the firefighter paramedic who would give everything to catch her when she falls.

Kriss heads home to her small prairie town with 98% of an astrophysics PhD, a load of memories she'd rather not think about, and a survival plan: skate and graduate. Her plan doesn't include the attention of a familiar admirer from the nearby fire station, one with a ridiculously impressive physique, a hidden singing talent, and a smile dazzling enough to sweep her off her skates. Before she knows it, she's falling for him—hard.

Chase has settled into the rhythms of his small-town firefighter routine, but he remembers Kriss from high school: the starry-eyed skater girl on her way out the door of his life. Now she's back, just as gorgeous as ever, spinning around the next-door rink without a care in the world. Or so he thinks, until Kriss is targeted with mysterious acts of vandalism designed to derail her dreams. Can he help Kriss find the courage to stand up under the attacks and trust herself to love again?
