There’s a Winter Olympic medal on the line. But their toughest challenge is resisting each other…

February 2026: the Italian Winter Olympics. The only thing on SamHarrington’s mind is winning her first medal for snowboarding.

Enter Finn Bradley. They’ve had a ‘friends forever’ pact for, well, forever, so Sam pushes her growing feelings aside and tries to focus on training.

But when a major team sponsorship falls through, Sam needs to find funding, and fast. When they’re told that pretending to be a couple will give them a better chance at finding sponsors, Sam and Finn agree to fake a relationship. They spend all their time together already, surely pretending to be a couple won’t be a slippery slope…

There’s only one problem. Finn’s secretly been in love with her for years, and this Olympic season, he’s decided that as well as a medal, he wants to win Sam over.
