Desperate to right her wrongs, Liora pins her hopes high on a new TV show called 'Grace on Ice’ where figure skaters team up with celebrities in hopes of winning a million dollars. But to even stand a chance, she needs more than skill on the ice––she needs publicity.When their managers pair Liora and Riley together to make their goals come true, a fake relationship is their only way out.
