About the Book

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family's support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating — and each other — to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and rollercoaster relationship.

To the world, they were a scandal. To each other, an obsession. A decade after a shocking incident at the Olympics abruptly ended their partnership, an unauthorized documentary threatens to redefine their legacy, with rivals and friends flocking to tell their version of events. Determined to set the record straight on her own terms, Katarina finally breaks her decade-long silence, revealing the truth behind their all-consuming bond and dramatic fallout. Inspired by Wuthering Heights, the novel blends documentary-style interview scripts with narrative chapters to reveal the epic, untold story of two people who gave everything to ice dancing — and each other.
