Falling By Janisha Boswell

WREN HACKERLY refuses to quit. Figure skating has always been her life, but when her ex humiliates her on the ice and her career is on the line, she needs a comeback. With her college team’s morale and donations plummeting, she has to find a way to keep people interested.

MILES DAVIS is North University’s golden boy, famed for his hockey skills and movie-star looks. After a team tragedy, he’s the only one still struggling to bounce back, making it hard to even think about hockey when it used to be the only thing on his mind.

After an eventful meet-cute and a bet-turned-date, Wren and Miles form the perfect partnership. His popularity could revive her star status and team support, while her workouts might get him back on the ice. But their fake dating pact reveals more than they expected. Miles’s kind side starts to thaw Wren’s frozen heart, and she finds herself falling for him more each day.

When the line between what’s real and what’s fake begins to blur, will either of them admit to feelings that aren’t just pretend?

This book was originally self-published by the author in 2023 under the title ‘Fake Dates & Ice Skates.’ Since then, the author has made minor and some major tweaks to the story, but the overall themes are the same.
