Distractions

Summary:

They were Marley's best athletes and each other's worst distractions.

Jean Kirstein, golden boy captain of the Titans hockey team, has everything riding on Nationals. Y/N L/N, Marley's top figure skater, is chasing her Regionals title with cold precision. The two have nothing in common except ice and ambition. And maybe the fact that they can't stop bickering every time their paths cross.

But as winter deepens and the pressure builds, their rivalry starts to fracture into something deeper, softer. Jean falls first. Y/N falls harder.

A slow burn, rivals-to-lovers-to-strangers-to-lovers romance about competition, heartbreak, and what it really means to get back up again.

Notes:

I have never read Ice Breaker. If this story has any similarities, they are pure coincidence. Enjoy!!
