Everyone on the ice knows Calder Hayes.Star forward. Relentless competitor. The kind of player who built his career on discipline sharp enough to cut everything else out of his life. Especially relationships.Arabella Vale has spent her entire life fighting for control of her own future. At twenty-two, she’s already a world champion figure skater, balancing brutal training schedules, mounting expectations, and the pressure of qualifying for nationals again. The quiet community rink she trains at before sunrise is supposed to be the one place untouched by attention, distraction, or anyone else’s routines. Then Calder starts showing up every morning, demanding half the ice like he owns it.What starts as territorial irritation quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Early mornings turn into verbal sparring, shared coffee, lingering walks home, and a connection neither of them planned for. Calder knows better than to let anyone interfere with hockey, but Arabella doesn’t fit into the rules he’s built his life around. She doesn’t ask him to choose between love and ambition. She simply steps into his world and refuses to disappear from it.But when media attention turns their relationship into a public narrative, Calder’s worst fear becomes impossible to ignore. Headlines question his focus, his priorities, and whether the league’s most disciplined player is losing control at the exact moment his team needs him most. And when Calder decides the only way to protect his career is to walk away from the one person who grounded him, he risks losing far more than the game.Because some distractions don’t destroy you.Some make you realise what matters before it’s too late.
