Synopsis

Mateo Boone has always been the easygoing one. The brother who keeps everyone laughing and never lets the pressure show. After winning the biggest game of his career, the expectations for the upcoming season have never been higher…and for the first time, Mateo isn’t sure his charm will be enough if things start to fall apart. Then he quite literally runs into a fiery redhead who turns his carefully balanced world upside down. Emmie James has spent the last four years chasing one dream. Make it to the Olympics one last time and finally bring home a gold medal. Skating has always come first. No distractions. No complications. No one close enough to leave when it’s over. Until she realizes the handsome stranger she collided with is the start quarterback for the team her father coaches. Emmie has never needed love to achieve her goals, but as Mateo slips past her defenses, she begins to wonder if there’s more to life than the one she’s mapped out so carefully. And for Mateo, what started as effortless quickly turns into something real—something he’s not sure he knows how to hold onto. Now, with the biggest season of Mateo’s career and Emmie’s final shot at Olympic glory on the line, they’re both forced to ask the same question: What happens when the future you’ve been chasing collides with the one you never saw coming?
