ISLA

Growing up, I knew three things for certain:

1. I had the best parents in the world;
2. I’d do anything to win Olympic gold; and
3. Michael Thompson was my best friend.

At ten, my little crush on my best friend hit me like a freight train. At thirteen, we promised we’d be each other’s first kiss. At sixteen, he broke my heart.

Since then, figure skating has been my salvation. Being on the ice has taught me discipline, pain tolerance, and how to get back up after every fall.

Now, at nineteen, my Olympic dream is alive and well after placing fifth at the last Games.

But Michael Thompson? He’s someone I want nothing to do with.

Too bad we both attend Golden Bay University. I’m an Olympian figure skater, and he’s the future center of New York’s NHL team, the Phantoms.

Avoiding him should be easy—except Michael keeps showing up everywhere I go, determined to figure out what ruined our friendship.

He might be the only person I’ve ever loved, but there’s no way I’m letting him back in.

Olympic gold is the only dream I have left.

MICHAEL

All my life, people have told me who I am. The son of an NHL legend. The next big thing in hockey. The guy with the last name in the Hockey Hall of Fame.

It’s a shadow I’ve spent my whole life trying to outrun.

Isla Walker has always been the only person who truly saw me. My best friend. The girl I fell in love with without even realizing it happened.

Until lies, misunderstandings, and other people’s meddling ruined everything.

She left, and for years, I convinced myself she betrayed me. Believing this lie was easier than admitting how much I missed her.

Three years later, Isla is back and more beautiful than ever. An Olympian figure skater. A freshman at GBU.

I could pretend I don’t care, that I don’t still want her, but I’m done lying to myself.

Playing in the NHL is my dream, but it will mean nothing if I lose the one person who has always mattered most.

And this time?

I’m not letting her walk away.
