The weather might be icy, but the tension is red-hot in this fake-dating hockey rom-com from the author of Let the Games Begin

"Profoundly delightful."
--The New York Times

"Skate it Till You Make It offers the romcom hat trick of humor, heart and heat. Incredible character chemistry and witty banter make this fake dating romance a genuine joy." --Sophie Sullivan, author of You Make It Feel Like Christmas

Ari Shumba never expected to make it to the Winter Games, let alone be the one to lead Great Britain's
women's ice hockey team through the most important competition of their lives. When her teammate's
unexpected injury catapults her to the role of captain, Ari reluctantly shoulders the responsibility while
trying to navigate family drama and dodge her toxic ex.

Drew Dlamini has always feared taking risks. After breaking up with his girlfriend and dropping out of
college to handle a family crisis, he's desperate for a fresh start. When he finds himself in London for the
holidays, he rekindles his dream of becoming a professional photographer.

When Ari and Drew meet at a New Year's Eve party, neither of them is looking for love. Though their
chemistry is instant, they live on opposite sides of the Atlantic, so they spend the night revealing their
glaring red flags, thinking they'll never see each other again. But when they unexpectedly cross paths in
the snowy Swiss Alps two months later, their feelings for each other rise to the surface.

As the competition heats up, the combination of complicated exes, overinvolved families, and stress-
inducing teammates convinces them that the perfect solution to their problems is to fake-date their way
through the Games. After all, there's no risk of falling in love if it is doomed from the start . . . right?
