Winners don't always come first. Canadian ski cross phenom Cedric Bérard has spent his life chasing speed, glory, and his best friend Austin down every mountain they could find. They've always pushed each other harder, faster, closer to the edge-until one night, Cedric falls in a different way. One kiss. One touch. A tumble into something neither of them planned for. Suddenly Cedric's dream isn't just about Olympic medals-it's about Austin. The way he makes Cedric feel weightless, the way desire hits harder than any crash on the snow, the way one night leaves Cedric craving more. But every fall has consequences. One mistake on the mountain leaves Cedric's future in pieces-his shot at the Games, his friendship with Austin, and the love he never expected to find. Because some falls don't just end a race-they change the course of a life.
