Going for Gold

She's done chasing medals. He's never had the chance. Together, they might just find gold. Liz Miller was once destined for Olympic gold—until the crash that shattered more than her dreams. After months of rehabilitation in the Sunshine State, she's cleared to return to Skyle Academy, the elite winter-sports boarding school where champions are made. But Liz isn't sure she wants any of it anymore. The slopes that once felt like home now feel like a reminder of everything she's lost. She's no longer the Golden Girl… and she doesn't know who she's supposed to be without that title. Enter Maurer Greer—the cafeteria lady's son, a talented snowboarder with more heart than opportunity. He's nothing like the polished prodigies Liz grew up around, and yet he's exactly the person she needs. With Maurer, Liz discovers a world beyond pressure and perfection: late-night snowstorms, laughter with unexpected friends, and the joy of singing with a local band that makes her feel alive again. As Liz slowly rebuilds herself, she believes in Maurer too—enough to get him a rare tryout at Skyle. But chasing dreams costs more than either of them expected. She must decide whether she's brave enough to let go of the life she planned… and whether Maurer can seize a future he's never been told he deserves. Two hearts. Two second chances. One shot at discovering that sometimes the real gold isn't won on the mountain—it's found where you least expect it.
