An elite ski racer. The hometown hockey captain. A fake relationship they think they can control.
Noelle Anderson can't afford distractions.
Heading into her senior year ski racing season, she's set on breaking onto the international stage. But at the tiny Vermont academy where she trains, everyone seems more interested in her recent breakup than her future on the slopes. When she strikes up an unexpected friendship with local hockey captain Jake Halifax, she sees the perfect opportunity to rewrite the narrative-a fake relationship to convince her classmates she's moved on.
But with Jake, it's far too easy to let go of the control she's worked so hard to maintain-dangerous when your career comes down to the millisecond. And it's even harder to remember what was supposed to be fake in the first place.
If she slips now, the future she's spent years chasing could disappear in an instant. And for the first time, she has two things to lose.
Downhill From Here is a slow-burn sports romance perfect for readers who love banter, fake dating, and a girl who refuses to fall first.
