Silence on the ice (J.L)

Mya Kingston has spent her entire life fighting to be enough.
As the first girl ever recruited to Briar University's elite men's hockey team, the entire world is waiting for her to fail. Her teammates don't trust her, the media watches her every move, and her father demands nothing less than perfection.
Because to Richard Kingston, love is something that has to be earned.

On the ice, Mya is cold. Aggressive. Untouchable.
But off the rink, she hides bruises, sleepless nights, and a secret love for music that nobody is supposed to know about. Especially not John Logan.
Logan notices too much.
The fear behind her silence.
The pain hidden beneath her anger.
And the way she flinches whenever someone gets too close.

The longer he stays around her, the harder it becomes for Mya to believe he only wants friendship. But falling for someone was never part of the plan. Neither was learning what it feels like to be loved without fear. In a world full of pressure, expectations, and secrets, Mya must decide:

Will she keep fighting for her father's approval- or finally start living for herself?
