The weather might be icy, but the tension is red-hot in this fake—dating hockey rom—com from the author of Let the Games Begin.

Ari Shumba never expected to make it to the Winter Games, let alone be the one to lead Great
Britain's women's hockey team through the most important competition of their lives. But when
an unexpected injury catapults her to the role of team captain, Ari reluctantly shoulders the
responsibility, all while trying to dodge her toxic ex.

Drew Dlamini has always feared taking risks. But after uncovering a family secret, breaking up
with his ex-girlfriend, and dropping out of medical school, he’s desperate for a fresh start. So
when he finds himself in London for the holidays, he decides to rekindle his hidden dream of
becoming a professional photographer.

When Ari and Drew bump into each other on New Year’s Eve, neither one is looking to fall in
love. Despite their instant chemistry, they’re from opposite sides of the Atlantic, and when they
reveal all of their red flags, they realize that things between them would never work out. But
then, when their paths unexpectedly cross two months later in the snowy Swiss Alps, memories
of what they almost did that night resurface. And the combination of complicated exes, over-
involved families, and stress-inducing teammates convinces them that the perfect solution to their
problems is to fake date their way through the Games.

After all, there’s no risk of falling in love if it is doomed from the start . . . right?
