Icebreaker - Maple Hills Book 1 (French Edition)

Anastasia Allen, the figure skating star of Maple Hills team, lives for victory. Her schedule, busier than a minister's, revolves solely around her sport, leaving little room for spontaneity. Nathan Hawkins, on the other hand, has never encountered a problem he couldn't solve. As the captain of the hockey team, he understands his responsibility to keep the team united. They had never crossed paths before, but when the hockey rink is mistakenly destroyed, forcing both teams to share a single ice surface, they must adapt.

Stassie is infuriated by the hockey team disrupting her meticulously planned schedule, particularly Nate, the broad-shouldered captain with an easy smile whom she distrusts. Conversely, Nate is immediately intrigued by the fury that Stassie directs his way at every opportunity. Nevertheless, Stassie remains immune to the charm of hockey players. Or does she?

As tensions rise and the teams navigate the challenge of sharing space, Stassie and Nate find themselves increasingly drawn to each other, despite their initial animosity. Stassie's determination to excel in figure skating clashes with Nate's commitment to his hockey team, yet their competitive spirits forge an unexpected connection.

Amidst training sessions, competitions, and conflicting priorities, they discover common ground and mutual respect. Stassie learns that Nate's leadership extends beyond the rink, and Nate sees Stassie's dedication as both inspiring and intimidating. Their journey from adversaries to allies unfolds amidst the backdrop of intense practices and crucial matches, each influencing the other's understanding of teamwork and perseverance.

Through challenges and triumphs, they confront their preconceptions about each other's sports and personalities. Stassie grapples with her growing admiration for Nate's ability to unite his team, while Nate admires Stassie's unwavering focus and grace on the ice. As they navigate the complexities of competitive sports and personal aspirations, they realize that their initial judgments were superficial, and a deeper connection begins to form.

Ultimately, their shared passion for excellence in their respective sports bridges the divide between them. They learn to appreciate each other's strengths and support each other through setbacks. The once turbulent relationship evolves into a partnership based on mutual admiration and understanding, proving that sometimes, unexpected circumstances can lead to the most profound connections.

In the end, Stassie and Nate discover that beyond their roles as athletes and competitors, they share a common commitment to pushing boundaries and achieving greatness. Their journey together on and off the ice highlights the transformative power of sports in forging friendships and shaping personal growth.
