In this classic novel, New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen spins a marvelous love story about a world-class figure skater, her distant, demanding mentor, and the high-stakes competition that could bring them together at last—or put all their dreams on ice.
WHITE SATIN
On the smooth, silvery surface of the ice skating rink, Dany Alexander cuts a figure of strength and fire, beauty and grace. One man alone is responsible for Dany’s success: Anthony Malik, a former skating star who has managed her career for the past sixteen years. And for all that time, deep within his fortress of money, sex, and power, Anthony has found his attraction for Dany growing more intense. Now he wants Dany—not as a prodigy, but as a lover.
Part guru, part taskmaster, and total mystery, Anthony is adept at finding out things about Dany that she’s kept hidden—even from herself. The depth of his desire for her can’t be denied. But what about Dany’s own need to get to know her mentor as the man he really is? With the Olympics just weeks away, an extraordinary contest of wills has begun. It could culminate in a crushing fall, or the greatest prize of all.

Summary
Overall This book was originally written by Iris over 20 years ago for Loveswept. It is a category romance; so it is smaller and the main focus is romance. Some may find it disturbing that there is a 12 year gap in their ages and she keeps flashing back to when she was younger and her crush on him. I find the authors bio from 20 years ago as interesting as the book, since we have the privilege of knowing how successful her writing career becomes. Her characters even back then are very stubborn and strong. If you enjoy ice skating stories and you don't mind the age difference I think you will enjoy this book.
Violence I don't recall any violence
Language profane language isused throughout the book. I can't recall if the F word was used.
Sexual There are a few physical scenes. The main focus is romance but I didn't feel that is was too graphic or detailed.
Drug & Alcohol I think there was some drinking
