On Thin Ice - by Olivia Belle (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

An actor hoping to fix his bad-boy reputation and a professional figure skater determined to win an ice-skating show begrudgingly team up in this sizzling, grumpy/sunshine romance.

"Romantic, spicy, and laugh-out-loud funny."--Lana Ferguson, USA Today bestselling author

Luca Vasvault thought he was finished with show business. A former child star now labeled the disgraced has-been of Hollywood, he moved to the UK to care for his dying mother. But an opportunity surfaces that Luca can't resist--the leading role in a remake of his mother's favorite film. The catch? He needs to straighten out his image first.

His agent has the perfect plan to win the public's vote: sign Luca up for Stars on Ice, a figure skating competition in which celebrities are paired with professionals. To give him his best shot at redemption, Luca is partnered with the show's sweetheart, Matilda Stevens, a woman known for her unwavering composure, whistle-clean record, and winning smile.

Competitive figure skating was always Matilda's mother's passion, not hers. Secretly, she hates the show, and the last thing she needs is to spend sixteen weeks with Hollywood's most notorious bad boy. Especially when Luca seems determined to make her life miserable with his surly attitude and annoyingly handsome-even-when-scowling face. But victory comes with prize money that will let Matilda quit Stars on Ice once and for all.

With everything on the line, the two strike a deal: They will cast their differences aside and put on the showmance of a lifetime, both on and off the ice. After all, they're both performers for a living. How hard can it be?
