Love on the Slopes by Melissa McClone
He ruined her reputation—now she wants nothing to do with him.
Brynn Windham loves being a member of the US Ski Team. But after learning a disturbing family secret, she loses her focus and puts her spot on the team in jeopardy. Her coach assigns a skier to help Brynn regain her competitive edge. Unfortunately, the one person who can help her is the last person she trusts.
Ryland Guyer might be the heir to his family’s sportswear company, but skiing is his priority. As he recovers from an injury, his coach asks him to help another skier salvage her season. The only problem? He and Brynn have history. They haven’t spoken in five years, and he doubts she’ll want to talk to him now.
Not wanting to give up on her dream, Brynn struggles with skiing and Ryland. He wants to make amends for the hurt he caused her and start over, but being around him stirs up old feelings and new, deeper ones emerge. Being on her own is better…safer. But he isn’t ready to give up on her. Or them.
With a mountain of struggles to face, can Brynn and Ryland learn to forgive so they can reach the top—together?

Here is a short sample from the book:
Friday after lunch, while Ry went to find the doctor, Brynn hung up from talking to her brother Ace who had called before his game. As she sat on the bed staring out the window, she daydreamed about skiing. Not racing, but with Ry, making fresh tracks in knee-deep powder, switching off the lead, until they skied side by side. Someday…?
Probably not, but thinking about that was easier than imagining her teammates and coaches at the slalom course. Brynn wanted to be there, but she was stuck in the hospital.
Only for one night, and that was frustrating enough. This, however, gave her a glimpse of what not competing, let alone skiing, must be like for Ry. Yet, he’d pushed past those emotions to come to Sun Valley to help her, to stay with her at the hospital.
Could that mean something more than him being a teammate helping another? Or a friend?
She hoped so.
