In
this second-chance romance, a former top men's figure skating champion is
willing to risk everything for a comeback--except a new start with his long
lost love.
An unexpected phone call from the
man who broke her heart offers Amy Shepherd an opportunity to return to the
work she loves, training elite figure skaters. Except it’s just one figure
skater: Him. Can she finally forgive and forget?
Figure skater Mikhail “Misha” Zaikov
once had it all: medals, money and the adoration of millions. But a devastating
injury put an end to his career and his romance, leaving him with nothing but
regret over what could have been. His last chance to re-join the world’s top
skaters is now. And there’s only one person who can help him: Her.
On Russia’s unyielding ice,
Misha must reclaim what he's lost while facing off against a talented young
rival and risking further injury. But Amy soon discovers Misha's much bigger
challenges lurk off the ice. And she's determined to keep Misha whole and
healthy, even if doing so ends his shot at the gold.

The next
morning, Amy awoke first. Misha lay beside her in bed, still sleeping. He’d
brought over clothes last night. His toothbrush was in the bathroom cabinet.
This was just like back in Ohio, only better. Misha was no longer searching for
direction. He knew what he wanted, and they were working together to help him
achieve it. But she couldn’t deny that she was nervous about what would happen
today, when he returned to training on the ice.
She got out of bed, and changed into
her running clothes, put coffee on, then returned to wake Misha. “Hey,” she sat
on the edge of the bed and gently shook his shoulder. “Time for our run.”
“Nyet,” he said in a sleepy voice,
and reached for her.
“You agreed to it last night.
Nothing too strenuous, just enough to get your heart pumping and muscles
working.”
“Don’t need running to make my heart
pump,” he pulled her down onto the bed, cupping her butt through her black
running tights. “As for muscles…maybe we can stay in and work this big stiff
one?”
She laughed and squirmed away. “Nice
try, but that muscle’s getting plenty of exercise. Rise and shine, big guy.”
She threw back the blankets, leaving
him no choice but to fumble around for his pants. She waited outside and he
joined her a few minutes later. They took off at an easy pace, following the
path behind the center’s main buildings, then out around the pond and back.
Nothing too strenuous, just as she’d promised. Their lungs filled with clean
fresh air, the morning mist was cool on their skin. They returned to the
guesthouse and she bent over her knees, breathing out cold air. Misha did the
same. He straightened easily. “How is your back,” she said.
“Perfect. No pain at all.”
“And the rest of you? Knees? Head?”
“Knees are fine, and my head is in
good place, too. Thanks to you, Amy the tiger.”
She grinned, and stood on tiptoe to
kiss him. “Ready to get back on the ice?”
“Can’t wait,” he said decisively.
“You’re going to be great.”
He brushed a kiss across her lips.
“For you, I will be.”
