It all starts in 2019.

The NHL announces that they will now allow women into the league, and the reaction is mixed. Some cheer on the league, but some criticize it, saying that women are too weak to play a sport alongside men.

Jiang Shen ignores the critics.

As the American-born child of Chinese immigrants, she has faced some bullying and discrimination, but she is confident that the Boston Bruins will welcome her as a member of the family.

She is right-the Bruins immediately treat her as one of them as soon as she signs her first contract. For the first time in her life, she feels at home. She feels welcome.

But what happens when the pandemic hits-and it's announced that the first case of the virus came from China?

Follow Jiang as she navigates her first few years as one of the first women and the first Asian American woman to play in the NHL.

Ice Me Out [SAMPLE] by anboyden
7 parts Ongoing Mature
**This is a sample of my ongoing story "Ice Me Out". The story continues on Inkitt! The link is in my bio!** Vera Gray is desperate when her father blindsides her with the news that he cannot make her upcoming tuition payment. She has only a week to come up with $25,000 for her tuition, or she will be forced to drop her courses. Just when all hope seems lost, her roommate and best friend, Monica, suggests she join a sugar baby site called Sugar Rush. Although Vera is initially repulsed by the idea of becoming a sugar baby, she sets aside her reservations with Monica's encouragement and decides to sign up for the app. Hart Myers, star forward for the Washington Wizards, may be smooth on the ice, but he struggles in his relationships with women. His demanding ice hockey career keeps him on the road for several months each year-not ideal for a man nicknamed 'Hartbreak,' who has difficulty with commitment. Despite this, Hart often feels lonely while traveling, especially when his teammates are with their partners. Seeking a connection without emotional ties, he joins Sugar Rush, hoping to find a stable situationship. When he discovers Vera's profile, he is intrigued. She appears confident and knows exactly what she wants: a sugar daddy who will leave his feelings behind and provide her with financial support. It doesn't take long for these opposites to attract, leading to broken rules as their steamy relationship becomes public. However, Vera soon learns that being a WAG isn't as glamorous as it seems. She faces challenges like jealous puck bunnies, relentless social media attention that threatens to expose her secret identity, shady teammates, and jealousy.
