WREN HACKERLY refuses to quit. Figure skating has always been her life, but when her ex humiliates her on the ice and her career is on the line, she needs a comeback. With her college team's morale and donations plummeting, she has to find a way to keep people interested.MILES DAVIS is North University's golden boy, famed for his hockey skills and movie-star looks. After a team tragedy, he's the only one still struggling to bounce back, making it hard to even think about hockey when it used to be the only thing on his mind.When Wren and Miles' worlds collide in a bet-turned-date, they realise they might just be the perfect pair. They agree to a fake-dating pact: his popularity could revive her star status and team support, while her skating skills might just get him back on the ice. But as Miles' kindness starts to thaw Wren's frozen heart, and the line between real and fake begins to blur, will either of them admit to feelings that aren't just pretend?

A legend. A lie. A love story. From Alix E. Harrow, the Sunday Times bestselling author of Starling House, comes a moving and genre-defying quest. A lady-knight whose legend built a nation meets a retiring historian in awe of her fame. He''s sent back through time to make sure she plays her part . . . even if it breaks his heart. Sir Una Everlasting was Dominions greatest hero: the orphaned girl who became a knight, who died for queen and country. Her legend lives on in songs and stories, in childrens books and recruiting posters - but her life as it truly happened has been forgotten. Centuries later, Owen Mallory - failed soldier, struggling scholar - falls in love with the tale of Una Everlasting. Her story takes him to war, to the archives, and then into the past itself. Una and Owen are tangled together in time, bound to retell the same story over and over again, no matter what it costs. But that story always ends the same way. If they want to rewrite Unas legend, and finally tell a different story, theyll have to rewrite history itself - and change their lives in the process.
