Beer League Belles

I never thought I'd see her again. Fable Winthrop was my only partner on the ice. I'd been the hockey player turned figure skater overnight, and she was the prim, proper ice princess who didn't take my crap. I did everything to make her smile, I worked hard to get her the gold, and I loved every moment of it. Even though her parents warned me to stay away from her, I fell desperately in love with her. Since I couldn't have her the way I wanted, I made her my best friend, the girl who knew me better than anyone, in the hope that, after it was all over, we could choose each other. But after winning the gold, her parents pulled us apart. I chose the rough, fast world of hockey. She stayed in figure skating, not only winning two more golds, but carving out a name for herself as one of the best coaches in the sport. Now, twenty years later, she's back. And after a letter from the grave, she is the co-owner of my rink. The rink was supposed to be mine, and now, she's not only in my space, but she's also in my head. We have to work together as we did all those years ago, but so much has changed. Not only are we older, but the past weighs heavily on both our hearts. While Fable still reminds me of the girl I remember, she's a woman now. And she's still in my heart. When the chance comes to skate with her again, I jump onto my blades faster than I could say yes. I don't just want a second chance at skating; I want a second chance with her. But Fable has spent years building walls around her heart, and our past continues to chase me. We were unstoppable once-two kids who could conquer the ice together. Now, I have to prove to her that we still can. At the Edge with You is a story of second chances, redemption, and learning that, sometimes, the biggest risks aren't taken on the ice-but in love.
