On Thin Ice

Signe Larsen

Maya dreams of gliding across the ice as a figure skater, but life keeps her grounded, balancing work at the local rink and the weight of limited means. The ice is her escape, the one place where her future feels within reach. Then Jaxon returns, a hometown hockey star with charm, confidence, and a past tied too closely to hers. Once her best friend and her first heartbreak, he stirs up feelings she thought she had long buried. Now they share the same rink, the same memories, and a tension that feels anything but simple. As ambitions grow and old sparks flicker, Maya finds herself navigating more than just routines on ice—she is learning how to face what still lingers beneath the surface.
