Fake Skating

Growing up, Dani was the shadow of her mom’s best friend’s adorable son. Funny, a little nerdy, and softhearted, Alec was her constant companion during their childhood. From play dates to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable, until the day Dani moved away. Alec promised they’d stay in touch, except, they didn't.

Flash forward to senior year and Dani is back in Minnesota, living with her grandfather while navigating the wreckage of her parents’ devastating divorce. She wouldn’t mind a quiet nerd,out with the cozy, comforting Alec she remembers, and maybe a chance to confront him for going MIA. But the teenage Alec she finds is a stranger. He’s a hockey star in a town where players are worshiped as gods, and Dani’s old place by his side has been replaced by a sea of drooling fans, a reality he clearly loves.

Resolved to ice out her former best friend, Dani is pulled back into his orbit by an unlikely series of events that forces them to fake a relationship. Once stuck together, the former childhood sweethearts begin to reconnect, unearthing complicated family secrets and facing their true feelings, including the real reason Alec has been pushing Dani away all these years.
