Description
Welcome to North University!
Wren Hackerly refuses to quit. Figure skating has always been her life, but after her ex humiliates her on the ice and her career hangs in the balance, she needs a comeback. With her college team's morale - and funding - crumbling, she has to find a way to keep people interested.
Miles Davis is North University's golden boy, famed for his hockey skills and movie-star looks. But after a team tragedy, he's the only one still struggling to bounce back, making it hard to care about the sport that once defined him.
When a bet-turned-date throws them together, they realise they might just be the perfect pair. A fake-dating pact could help Wren rebuild her reputation and Miles find his way back to the ice. But as Miles' kindness thaws Wren's frozen heart, and the line between real and fake begins to blur, will either of them admit to feelings that aren't just for show?
Tropes:
-Reverse grumpy x sunshine
-Found family
-Strangers > friends > lovers
-He falls first
-One bed
