About
GETTING IT BACK
An
unexpected phone call from the man who broke her heart offers Amy
Shepherd an opportunity to return to the work she loves, training
elite figure skaters. Except it’s just one figure skater: Him. Can
she finally forgive and forget?
Figure
skater Mikhail “Misha” Zaikov once had it all: medals, money and
the adoration of millions. But a devastating injury put an end to his
career and his romance, leaving him with nothing but regret over what
could have been. His last chance to re-join the world’s top skaters
is now. And there’s only one person who can help him: Her.
On
Russia’s unyielding ice, Misha must reclaim what he's lost while
facing off against a talented young rival and risking further injury.
But Amy soon discovers Misha's much bigger challenges lurk off the
ice. And she's determined to keep Misha whole and healthy, even if
doing so ends his shot at the gold.

EXCERPT
EXCERPT
The day Misha arrived at the University of
Delaware’s training center for the first time, the pretty red-haired student
caught his eye.
She’d worn a fitted blue t-shirt and khaki
shorts that displayed shapely legs, still with a trace of a summer tan. Her
hair was in a single braid, worn off to the side. Pert breasts. Nice ass.
Everything a guy could want, but it wasn’t just her looks that grabbed his
attention. It was also the way she carried herself, moving through the room
with calm assurance that seemed to fill more space than she actually did.
Watching her efficiently coach a surly wrestler through his floor stretches
left him with no doubt in her ability. At the end of his first day, he’d asked
the professional trainer in charge of his rehabilitation to assign her to work
with him, and when she’d greeted him in Russian at their first session, he’d
been beyond impressed. Her stilted grammar and atrocious accent made it obvious
she wasn’t a native speaker, but to hear someone speak his language, even
badly, had meant the world to him.
“Why did you decide to learn Russian? I thought
most Americans learned Spanish or French,” he’d asked, as he lay face down on
the training table, turning his head so he could look at her.
Her face brightened with a pretty smile. “I took
French in high school. But since I want to specialize in athletic training for
figure skaters, studying Russian in college seemed more practical.”
“An excellent idea,” he said, liking Amy Shepherd’s
common sense almost as much as he liked her looks. Not only did he want her
working on his case, he wanted to know her on a deeper level. Everything in his
life felt so unsure, he hoped a bit of her unflappable, steady confidence would
rub off on him.
He wanted it then, he wanted it now.
That had been behind his crazy, pain-addled
decision to text her two nights ago. He hadn’t known what he expected. Medical
advice, punctuated by emoticons? Any response kinder than ‘fuck off,’ was
welcome, though that had never been Amy’s style. All he knew was that he was
hurting in pretty much every way it was possible to hurt, and it compelled him
to reach out to the only woman who’d ever made him feel whole. The fact she’d
responded by coming to be at his side, especially from so many miles away, only
served as further proof of what a fool he’d been to leave her.
