Summary
John, a hockey player with a promising career ahead of him, is partially blinded after an accident during the Olympic gold-medal hockey game. Unable to play professional hockey anymore, he moves back to his hometown and begins to make a life for himself without professional skating. However, he longs for something more than bar hockey leagues can offer him. So when figure skating coach Parker Yang comes to him with an offer—a chance to win an Olympic gold medal as a figure skater, paired with the infamously temperamental but wildly talented Arthur Lester—he accepts. Something is better than nothing, right?
Except that Arthur hates him on sight, and “temperamental” turns out to mean “rude, self-absorbed, and excruciating to work with.”
Neither Arthur nor John is happy with the arrangement, but with no other options and the Olympic season rapidly approaching, they reluctantly begin training. As John gets to know Arthur better—and meets Arthur’s seven-year-old daughter, Faroe—he begins to realize that there’s more to the man than he first thought. But will they be able to take home the Olympic gold medal? And will John be able to skate with a man that he is slowly but surely falling in love with?

Summary
Arthur lives a happy, safe life in Arkham, Massachusetts, with a wonderful daughter, Faroe, a wonderful partner, Parker, and a wonderful friend, Bella, who’s working on getting her degree in medicine. He composes, and Parker works as a PI, and he gets to spend his days with his music and his evenings with his family. But at night, when he sleeps, Arthur is plagued by dreams of a voice in his head that calls itself John, accompanying him through various horrific circumstances. As these dreams continue—and eventually begin to bleed into his wonderful and perfect waking life—Arthur begins to wonder if everything is really as wonderful and perfect as it seems.
