Skating the Line Paperback – February 6, 2026

“This is a FANTASTIC sports romance. The characters are well written, the plot makes sense, it’s funny and clever with incredible metaphors.”“An actual sports romance—done well—is so rare to find, and this one is executed to perfection.

Not to mention I saw myself reflected in so many moments that it became an almost overwhelming experience.”Clarity Jansky has been ice dancing the past 17 years, and she has the perfect plan to finally reach the Olympic trials… until her partner falls and lands on the other side of a season-ending injury.
