Love on the Edge

2025

Welcome to the Sexy as Sin series, where badass female athletes don't mind working up a good sweat on or off the field. Valeria Blaze The Olympics aren’t just my dream—they’re my obsession. Every jump, every spin, every sacrifice has been for one goal: gold. I don’t drink. I don’t date. And I sure as hell don’t make reckless decisions. Until him. Running into Ethan Crosse—the rink’s rugged, maddeningly handsome new maintenance man—wasn’t part of the plan. He’s gruff, complicated, and far too good at making me forget the walls I’ve built to protect myself. One impulsive night should have been enough to get him out of my system. But now he’s everywhere. I should be focusing on skating, but the closer we get, the harder it is to keep my walls from crumbling. He’s everything I don’t have time for. But he might be the one thing I can’t let go. Ethan Crosse I’ve learned to live for two things: my daughter and my family. When my wife walked out, she left more than a broken marriage—she left bills, responsibility, and the life we’d built together. Taking on a second job at the rink was a way to keep us afloat, even if it meant sleepless nights and long days. Then I ran into her. Valeria Blaze is fire and ice all wrapped up in a dangerous package. One night with her wasn’t enough, but I can’t risk letting her into my messy world. Not when she’s focused on something bigger than me. Not when I’m still picking up the pieces of my life. But the more I try to push her away, the closer we get. Now I’m not sure if I’m ready to risk it all for her—or if I even have a choice.
