Summary

Hockey is everything in Cherry Grove, Wisconsin. So when superstar Thomas Maxwell-Pruitt arrives from California, the whole town is on alert. It's been years since Cherry Grove North last hoisted the State Trophy, and their hopes of winning are finally starting to feel real again.

But a new friendship with the team manager, Alexis Tate, is dredging up emotions and a past that Thomas hasn't wrestled with in a long time. Meanwhile, Alexis is wrestling with college applications, her senior year, and so much more.

As the temperature between them heats up, the ice begins to thin. Will Thomas and Alexis be able to hold on? Or like so many things, will their friendship melt away?
