62 parts Complete MatureAt fifteen, Jaquetta Elowen moves like poetry on ice-but off the rink, her world is anything but graceful. Haunted by an absent, abusive father and quietly battling an eating disorder, she hides her pain beneath perfect pirouettes and silent strength. Her only constant is her mother-and the ice beneath her blades.
When she's paired with Francis Rutherfood, a charming but emotionally distant skater with a reputation for hookups and indifference, sparks don't fly-they clash. Francis doesn't do feelings. Jaquetta doesn't trust easily. But as their partnership forces them into rhythm, an unexpected connection begins to thaw the frozen edges of their hearts.
In a world of spotlight and silence, pressure and perfection, Jaquetta must find her voice-both on the ice and within herself. And when love starts to burn in a place she never thought possible, she learns that even the coldest arenas can't contain a fire that was always meant to rise.
A Figure Like Fire is a raw, lyrical coming-of-age story about trauma, trust, and the courage it takes to skate toward the light.
