Summer Preston has spent years avoiding hockey—and the heartbreak that comes with it. But when her notoriously ruthless advisor, Dr. Laura Langston, demands she base her graduate school application on the very sport she despises, Summer finds herself forced onto the ice. With her future hanging in the balance, she must confront old fears and new challenges in the rink she swore she'd never return to.

Enter Donny Rai, her ex-boyfriend, rival, and fellow applicant, whose perfect GPA and smug smile make him both infuriating and irresistible. Add in late-night study sessions, flirty encounters with hockey players, and the looming pressure of Dalton University's prestigious program, and Summer's senior year becomes a whirlwind of ambition, rivalry, and unexpected romance.

Forced Onto the Ice is a cinematic sports romance about love, rivalry, and second chances. It's a story of ambition colliding with passion, where hearts skate on thin ice and every choice could change the game forever.

📖 Preface: Knowledge to Paper

In a world where smartphones have become toys,

where games consume hours and silence is rare,

books remain the true keepers of wisdom.

When the noise fades, when freedom is taken,

it is the written word that endures.

In the quiet of a cell, in the stillness of regret,

books become companions, teachers, and guides.

We write not for fleeting applause,

but for the generations who will seek knowledge

when distraction is no longer enough.

This is why we put knowledge to paper.

Because one day, someone will reach for a book,

and in its pages, they will find themselves.
