Max Lauren made a mistake that shattered her pride, her heart, and her career in one fell swoop. Relegated to covering the lowly game of curling, she already resents the so-called "sport," and then she steps onto the ice, where things get infinitely worse. She's been knocked down before, and she's always gotten back up, but a frosty resolve goes only so far in a world of people who thrive on ice. Callie Mulligan is the amiable skipper of America's second-place curling team. Upbeat, optimistic, and with a fiery passion for an icy sport, she has both the mental and physical skills to become Team USA's top contender. What she doesn't have is the fame or the funding. Coverage from a journalist of Max's caliber could be the answer to both problems if only Max wasn't so cold to the idea. As Callie tries to warm her to the sport, a little bit of heat grows into a fire neither of them can contain. Passion, competition, ambition, redemption, and raw need collide as the bright lights of success and celebrity grow hotter, but can the fire between Max and Callie be sustained when it's put on ice?
