The Favourites by Layne Fargo (Paperback)

Kat and Heath lived in the spotlight from the moment they stepped onto the ice. Fans followed every routine, interview and tabloid headline. Their partnership made them stand out. Their connection kept people watching. Their talent turned them into Olympic stars.

Their rise came with pressure. Each win brought more scrutiny. Each slip sparked questions. Their relationship became as famous as their medals. Some people cheered them on. Others waited for cracks to show. Kat pushed for greater control of her career. Heath fought to keep their partnership intact. Fame pulled them in different directions.

Everything changed during a live performance. The cameras caught the fall. The crowd went silent. Commentators stumbled for words. The world tried to replay what happened, frame by frame. People argued over the footage. Friends closed ranks. Reporters circled. Kat and Heath disappeared from view.

Whispers spread across social media. Some blamed stress. Others muttered about jealousy. A few claimed they knew the real story. No one could prove anything. The mystery kept growing.

A year later, someone close to them decides to speak out. New details appear. Old assumptions unravel. Hidden motives surface. The truth may destroy reputations. It may also expose what people refused to see.

Readers who like tense relationships, competitive settings and secrets buried under fame will want to follow every twist.
