Arianna’s victory in a pre-season figure skating competition is overshadowed by the discovery that her father has been funding years of ice time and coaches’ fees with a loan shark’s dollars. Now, her father is out of money, and the loan shark is out of patience. Before the figure skating community can find out more about who this lovely skater is and where she came from, they are hearing the terrible news that she and her father were killed in a tragic explosion.But Arianna is not dead, a fact known only to her and her father’s killer, who is turning Chicago upside down in pursuit of her. Changing her name and altering her appearance, she flees to a new city and an opportunity to stay close to the sport she loves without revealing her true identity. When she meets Peter, a fellow skating champion, there’s no denying the instant attraction. But as badly as he needs her help to rediscover his love for the sport in time to compete for Olympic gold, she needs to make sure he doesn’t get close enough to find out who she really is, because both of their lives could depend on it.
