Caroline Hadley has never been afraid of new beginnings.
She just doesn't trust them.
On the morning of her seventeenth birthday, she arrives in Graymoor, New Hampshire, carrying little more than a handful of books, a collection of struggling houseplants, and the quiet determination to keep her world carefully ordered. A scholarship to the prestigious St. Aldercrest Academy should feel like an opportunity. Instead, it feels like another place where she doesn't belong.
Logan Rutherford has spent his entire life chasing perfection.
Captain of Aldercrest's elite hockey team and heir to one of Canada's most celebrated hockey families, every day of his life has been measured in expectations, discipline, and impossible standards. He doesn't have time for distractions, especially not a stubborn new student who seems determined to challenge his patience before classes have even begun.
Their first meeting ends with a broken bicycle, a ruined afternoon, and the certainty that they cannot stand each other.
Unfortunately, Graymoor is too small, Aldercrest is too close, and life has a habit of forcing people together when they'd rather walk away.
As autumn settles over the academy and the ice begins to freeze beneath their feet, Caroline and Logan slowly discover that first impressions rarely survive the truth. Behind perfect grades, perfect games, and carefully rehearsed smiles are wounds neither of them has learned to speak about.
Sometimes the most important breakpoint isn't the one that changes a game.
It's the one that changes your life.
