About to Fall
It was hate at first sight.
Nicolas Fontaine is figure skating’s golden prince—reigning Canadian national champion, Olympic hopeful, and the carefully polished product of his legendary uncle’s coaching. His smile never falters. His composure never cracks. So no one knows how close he came to losing everything.
Adrian Zhao is the sport’s wild card—pink haired, tattooed, and unapologetic. When his coach retires unexpectedly, Adrian lands in Toronto, sharing Nico’s ice and getting under his skin.
They’ve been rivals since they were teenagers. The prince and the punk. The darling and the disruptor. Trading national titles and sharp words for the last seven years.
They were never supposed to be anything else.
But proximity has a way of rewriting the rules. What starts as friction becomes something neither of them planned for—something that threatens to unravel everything they’ve spent their lives building.
Three spots. Two rivals. One dream. Will they choose love or legacy?

About to Bloom
Falling on the ice was physics. Falling for him was unexpected.
Mathéo “Théo” Beaubien is a Chinese French Canadian figure skater, former prodigy turned cautionary tale. After a very public collapse, he flees Toronto’s pressure cooker for his brother’s spare bedroom in Chicago—Avery Beaubien, a rising hockey star for the Chicago Frost. He’s supposed to get his life back on track. Instead, he wears indifference like armour, turns deflection into an art, and keeps everyone at arm’s length.
Derek “Sully” Sullivan is the guy everyone counts on—alternate captain, locker room leader, the steady hand in a crisis. But after a career-threatening injury and a broken engagement, steady is the last thing he feels. It’s his comeback season. He’s supposed to be finding his footing. Instead, he’s losing it to his teammate’s younger brother—a prickly figure skater with a bad attitude and walls a mile high.
Théo isn’t looking to be saved—especially not by his brother’s teammate. Falling for Derek was never part of the plan. But some walls are meant to be climbed and some people are stubborn enough to try.

A Simple Distraction
His one rule: No distractions.
Kenzo Carter-Volsky is a rising pro hockey star with a career on the line—and as one of the league’s few players of black, Japanese, and Russian heritage, he already stands out everywhere he goes. The last thing he needs is another reason for the world to watch him. He’s spent years building defenses no one gets past—and he plans to keep it that way.
Bradley Walsh has everything—money, charm, and a last name that opens every door in Chicago. As the golden heir to the Walsh & Wilde empire, he’s used to getting what he wants…except when it comes to love.
But now temptation lives next door.
From the moment Bradley meets his new neighbor, he knows he’s in trouble. Kenzo is exactly the kind of man Bradley falls for: gorgeous, complicated, and impossible to ignore. And Bradley does what he always does—falls fast for the one he can’t have.
Kenzo has never let anyone close enough to break through his walls. He can’t afford distractions and he definitely can’t afford the beautiful, charismatic heir who keeps showing up on the other side of the terrace with a smile that feels like a challenge. But stolen glances turn into lingering conversations and temptation this close is harder to resist than either of them expected.
Because falling is easy.
Letting someone in is harder.
And some people are impossible to keep out.
