PRICE OF PERFECTION

Jason Starke had earned the name "Iceman" both on and off the ice. The Olympic gold medalist was a dazzling master of the silver blades--perfection on ice. But inside, Jason felt like an imposter, a showman who glided and twirled to escape the black emptiness that ate away at his soul. He had reached the height of success, but at what price?

Unable to keep performing, Jason cancelled his tour and went off to search for a skater from the past. Ten years ago, Diana Diamond had been a teen phenomenon on ice, blazing across the mirrored surface like living fire. But she had withdrawn from skating competition just before her first Olympic tryouts. Over the years, Jason had wondered what drove her to leave the ice. Soon after he met her, Diana Diamond became his only obsession.

Diana wanted nothing to do with Jason's plans for an Olympic skating school--or his badgering to perform again. And yet, she couldn't deny the heated desire evoked by his every touch. The Iceman had inflamed her passions and set fire to her private world. And he was bound and deter mined to haunt her until the world could see Diana Diamond on ice once again.
