Sarina Bowen is a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of contemporary fiction. Her books have been on “best of” lists at Goodreads, Audible, The New York Public Library and Amazon. In her free time she takes figure skating lessons. Sarina’s hockey fandom started in college, cheering on the Yale University team and wishing they’d let her drive the Zamboni.

ABOUT THROWN FOR A LOOP

Zoe Carson, former figure skating queen, needs a fresh start as a hockey skating coach. An NHL gig with the New York Legends is her big chance. Unfortunately, that means facing off against the star player who broke her heart ten years ago. 

Chase Merritt knows his game is off, and he’s on the verge of losing sponsors. But he doesn’t need the ice princess from that intense college summer showing up and telling him what he’s doing wrong—even when she’s right.

On the ice, they’re magic. Off the ice, they’re nothing but heat and stubbornness, and everyone on the team is enjoying the show. But when an old video of Zoe and Chase’s figure skating routine goes viral, they’re forced to work together more intimately than ever before. Can the two get it right this time or will the whole world watch them crash and burn?
