Silent Skates
Emily Carter promised herself she'd never step on the ice again. Not after her father left. Not after skating became a reminder of everything she lost. But skating is the only place she feels alive-and it's the one thing she keeps hidden from everyone. Then there's Leon Fletcher. Hockey captain. Golden boy. Her best friend's cousin. He wasn't supposed to notice her, and she wasn't supposed to care. Except Leon has already seen her secret. And the more they collide-at school, at the rink, under the lights-the harder it is to pretend she doesn't feel something. A slow-burn sports romance about secrets, skating, and falling for the one person who could change everything.
