This is a story I have been wanting to tell for a long time. Hockey is one of my favourite sports and I have always been enthralled with figure skating.

"There's something about putting on a pair of skates, and getting out there and moving like nobody else can. Freedom is a word that comes to mind." ― Randy Gardner
Xavier Homes lives and breathes hockey 24/7. He is the captain of the London Knight's OHL hockey team and is projected to be a first round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft.
Rosaura Simmons is an up-and-coming figure skater whose dream has always been to one day compete in the Olympics. She on the road to achieving her dream when it threatens to crumble down and Xavier can't help but step in.
With both their dreams and careers on the line, Xavier and Rosaura will need to work together and figure out a way to keep pushing each other on and off the ice and unlock the hidden potential within them.
