He falls fast & hard, but she’s trying to slip away..
Sadie Brown has herself so thin taking care of everything around her she’s on the verge of losing her college figure skating scholarship. She’s juggling being the parent figure to her two younger brothers (alcoholic father), working 2 jobs, figure skating, college classes, & trying to have somewhat of a social life. So to maintain her figure skating skill, Sadie skates early in the morning before anyone should be at the rink…
Rhys Koteskiy, college hockey captain, and son of famous former NHL player Maximilian Koteskiy. Thinks he’s on top of the world in his growing career, until one day he takes a nasty hit that leaves emotionally unable to get back onto the ice without complete panic. When he decides to try and take control at the rink alone so others don’t find out about his anxious state, he runs into the angsty figure skater…
Their paths keep connecting from the morning skates where they decide to share the ice from Sadie’s brothers participating in the youth hockey program Rhys helps out with. Sharing music playlists turns into sharing each others bodies for each others personal gain. But what happens when the guy falls first and the girl wants none of the emotional strings? Or when lawyers become involved with Sadie’s situation of her brothers? Buckle up because it’s about to become quite icy!

This was my first read by Peyton Corrine & omgsh I loved it! Such an emotional read covering heavy topics of male anxiety / mental health & the Cinderella sister. A beautiful approach to such real everyday topics that don’t always get talked about. I can’t wait to read more of her work!!
