The world is convinced they’re in love.
They have spent eight years pretending that they aren’t.

Hazel Pierce and Dominic Hughes are figure skating’s favourite pair. They are best friends, national champions, and there is a popular fan conspiracy that they are secretly a couple. Even though they have spent years insisting that they are nothing more than friends. Falling for your skating partner would be dangerous. A relationship blowing up could put their skating partnership at risk.
With the Winter Games looming, their coach and choreographer push them into their most intimate program yet. They craft a sultry skate that makes the most of their chemistry. It features the kind of choreography that blurs lines and ignites feelings that Hazel has spent years burying. It doesn’t help that her new boyfriend hates every second of it or that Dominic feels closer than ever. Crossing that line could destroy everything they have worked for. The season of the Winter Games, she refuses to risk their partnership.
Not even after she breaks up with her suspicious, jealous boyfriend.
Not until Dominic confesses the truth at a Christmas party. That one night changes everything.
The aftermath is as bad as Hazel had feared. Practice is painfully awkward. She starts second guessing everything. Their connection, which used to be effortless, has come into question. To win the biggest competition of their lives, they will have to move past it… fast. Even if it means pretending that their one wonderful night didn’t happen.
But as the Games approach and their routine reaches perfection, going back to how things always were gets more difficult. And Hazel thinks that Dom might just be thinking the same thing.

On the Edge of Something More is a full length, standalone open-door romance with a single point of view. Featuring friends to lovers, forced proximity, elite athletes, mutual pining, “everyone thinks they are together” vibes, and high stakes.
It is a slow burn, skating partners to lovers romance with a guaranteed happily ever after, no cheating, and plenty of banter.
