ICE MATCHED

by Lisa Rayne

Sports Romance

Releasing September 8, 2026

There’s a very thin line between gold…and hate.

Canadian ice dancing champion Sayre Davies has only one way back to the Winter Games: switch teams. He’s ready to skate for his American-born mother’s native land, but there’s one problem. He’s just alienated his third partner in as many years, leaving him without the U.S. partner he needs.

Figure skater Braxton Jamison is ready to hang up her skates when she’s approached by the coach for the difficult ice dancer. Sayre’s known to be an unyielding perfectionist with the disposition of a raging bull. But in a moment of temporary insanity, Braxton agrees to partner with the shrewish phenom in a last-ditch effort to make her own dream a reality.

When Braxton faces Sayre with a won’t-back-down attitude of her own, she takes the obstinate Canadian off guard. As the headstrong competitors waver between mutual hostility and unexpected attraction, the ice skating world’s most unlikely pair may find a passion more rewarding than any gold medal…if they don’t kill each other first.
