She quickly realizes the only way to get this guy off her friend's back is to beat him at his own game.

When he gets sent to live with his Pops way up north in Christmastown, he takes his resentment to the next level. Nothing could ever make him want to change. Until he meets Brooke and the kids she’s training.

Once on track for a top competitive figure skating position, Brooke has lost her way. Now she's being forced to help a bunch of kids put on a Christmas pageant. And even worse—she has to teach an errant hockey player how to ice dance.

Finding common ground between them isn’t nearly as difficult as a triple axel. But can the rink also help them to repair the damage of their past mistakes? Will Adrian and Brooke learn to find strength in each other's arms?
