Totally Thrown

Zusatztext

What happens when a figure-skating pairs partnership runs its course? For Jason Huang, it's a chance to consider the possibility of an open, honest life. For Laurent Fortin, it's a series of crushing losses. When friends suggest he leave the scandal and speculation behind in favor of graduate school, he seizes the opportunity.
 
 Jason calls his former rival to offer sympathy, but when he hears Laurent is coming to his own city, he offers a house-share. It's only natural they begin training together; they both still love to skate. A half-serious suggestion becomes a dedicated effort to take pairs skating far beyond its conventional limits.
 
 They master unique challenges in a quest to compete at championship level. Along the way, their friendship grows through flirtation and dating to something much deeper. Once they've taken their skating partnership as far as they can, will their unexpected love stand on its own?
