Part of Series
One’s a hockey player. The other’s a dancer. They were inseparable as kids, but twenty years later, career is everything. Dixon Cliff has spent years proving himself on the ice. Oscar Salazar has done the same on stage. Their professions demand focus, and relationships don’t easily fit in the schedule. But when a surprise reunion stirs up childhood memories—and undeniable attraction—suddenly, making time for each other feels more important than anything. As they navigate the whirlwind of professional hockey and dancing, plus living hundreds of miles apart, one question remains: is this just a fleeting connection, or can they find a way to make forever work? "Skating Back to You" is a low angst, friends-to-lovers romance where love takes center stage, and the heart always leads the way. It's also a crossover between the "Hockey Hearts" and "On Stage" universes. —— "Skating Back to You" originally appeared in the "Love is All: Volume 4" charity anthology with the title "The Hockey Player’s Pas De Deux." For this edition, the story has been expanded.
