Before the ice melts

BEFORE THE ICE MELTS Four years of memories. Four years of early mornings, frozen rinks, competitions, laughter, arguments, and moments that neither Sloan nor Aaron ever truly forgot. Back in high school, Sloan was a phenomenal figure skater with a future that seemed limitless. Aaron lived with Sloan and her grandmother for four years, quietly becoming one of the most important people in Sloan’s life. He watched her skate countless times. He filmed her practices. Took pictures of her competitions. Celebrated every victory and stayed beside her after every difficult performance. What Sloan never knew was that Aaron had fallen in love with her. He simply never said it. Then, after a painful argument, everything changed. Aaron left. No goodbye. No explanation. Just gone. Sloan eventually moved forward with her life. She put her skating career behind her after a devastating injury and eventually found herself engaged to Vince, believing she had finally found someone she could build a future with. But Vince wasn’t faithful. Behind Sloan’s back, he had been secretly involved with someone from her past—Tati, Sloan’s former figure-skating rival who had since risen to international fame and become an Olympic champion. And Tati was hiding something far more serious than her relationship with Vince. She knew more about Sloan’s injury than Sloan ever realized. Years after Aaron disappeared, Sloan attends a prestigious business party with Vince. Surrounded by wealthy executives, investors, celebrities, and influential people, Sloan expects to spend the evening beside her fiancé. Instead, Vince barely acknowledges her. Feeling ignored and humiliated, Sloan quietly leaves the party and heads toward the bathroom. Then she sees him. Aaron. For the first time in years, they’re standing face-to-face. The moment Aaron sees Sloan, everything he buried comes rushing back—the girl he watched skate for hours, the photographs locked away in his home, the videos he could never bring himself to delete, the argument that tore them apart, and the goodbye he never gave her. But Aaron doesn’t tell her any of it. He doesn’t demand answers. He doesn’t interfere with her relationship. He simply speaks to her with the same gentleness he always had. And Sloan doesn’t know why the man who disappeared from her life seems to remember every little thing about her. Meanwhile, Aaron’s trusted assistant, Jake, begins uncovering disturbing information about Sloan’s past. Her injury wasn’t the simple accident everyone believed it was. Sloan had been mugged and hospitalized, suffering an ACL tear severe enough to end the skating career she had dedicated her life to. And someone knows the truth. As Aaron and Jake quietly investigate, pieces of Sloan’s past begin falling into place—leading them closer to Tati, Vince, and a secret that could change everything. Aaron has spent years regretting the way he left Sloan. This time, he isn’t going anywhere. But before Sloan can understand why Aaron has returned to her life, she must uncover the truth about the people closest to her—and decide whether the person she thought she could trust is actually the person who has been betraying her all along. Sometimes the heart remembers what the mind tries to forget. And some feelings never truly melt. Not even after years apart.
