Olympic Rivals

Aspen Whitfield has always known the weight of the world on her shoulders. As an alpine skiing champion, every victory feels shadowed by the one that nearly ended Knox Halloway’s career—a ghost of a touch, a fall that left him broken, and her forever branded. Now, after years of silence, Knox is back on the slopes of the Olympic training facility, his gaze a potent mix of old challenge and a hurt Aspen can barely fathom. He’s here for redemption; she’s here to prove herself worthy of a title she feels she stole. In the frigid Aspen air, surrounded by the whisper of skis on snow and the echoes of a past neither can outrun, their rivalry ignites anew. But beneath the frost of competition, a dangerous spark of attraction threatens to melt the carefully constructed walls around their hearts, forcing them to confront not only what they lost, but what they might yet win.
