THE RULES OF THE RINK
When life spins you in a new direction, all you can do is lace up your skates and keep gliding forward.
I’m Frankie Tomlinson and I’ve spent the last few years living the dream, touring the world as a professional skater. Sequins, standing ovations, international adventures… it doesn’t get much better than that.
Until you realize in the grand scheme of things, none of it actually matters.
When my dad got hurt, it took me all of two seconds to leave it all behind.
Back home in the small town of Grizzly Springs, I’ve taken a job coaching at the local rink. So far? Let’s just say things haven’t exactly gone smoothly—mostly thanks to the skating director, Charlie.
He’s grumpy, standoffish, and unfortunately, impossible to avoid.
However, the more time we’re forced to spend together, the more I realize that underneath that scowl is a guy who’s a lot like me. We both had dreams that we had to give up long ago.
Is fate giving us a second shot—not just at skating, but at something more?

THE SLOTH ZONE
Playing Cinderella on the ice is easy. It’s real life that refuses to follow the script.
I’m Gemma and for the past few years, I’ve been skating as a professional princess with Dreams on Ice. Sparkling tiara? Check. Magical transformations? Nightly. Happily ever after? I’m still working on it.
During a trip to Sequoia Valley to visit my best friend, I decide it’s time to try something new since my dating life has been more pumpkin than prince. After one too many dating app disasters, we film an audition tape for Cupid’s Arrow, a reality dating show. Is it a long shot? Sure. But so is everything else in my love life lately.
Meanwhile, my best friend’s stepmom, who’s more fairy godmother than evil stepmother, sets me up on a trio of blind dates. Two are disasters. The third? My fingers are crossed that Tim Lyons will be the one.
But just when I think I might finally be on the verge of finding my Prince Charming, everything else in my life starts to fall apart, starting with an injury. Suddenly my career as a professional skater is put in jeopardy.
Will I ever get my own happily ever after, or will my fairy tale end before it even begins?

Caught in a Loop
I’m Ava Brown, and I’ve never been great at taking risks—especially when it comes to love. After years of harboring a crush on my best friend Dylan, I finally work up the nerve to tell him how I feel. Only, it does not go well.
With my ego bruised and my heart officially wrecked, I throw myself into running my vet clinic. Dating? Absolutely not. I’ve got more important things to worry about, like how to bring in new clients.
But then a late-night emergency involving a muddy cat introduces me to Fernando, a guy who has a sexy Spanish accent and is alarmingly good-looking. Helping him out starts as a one-time favor, but somehow, we keep crossing paths.
When I take my first vacation in years to Spain to clear my head, guess who turns up again? You guessed it—Fernando. What was supposed to be just a fun road trip quickly turns in to me suggesting a fake relationship in order to get his matchmaking aunts off his back.
I told myself I wouldn’t fall for one of my friends again, but my heart has other ideas. I’ve always played it safe, but falling for Fernando might be the biggest—and best—risk I’ve ever taken. Is it still a risk if it feels exactly right?
