The inspiring true story of Manon Rhéaume, the first and only woman to play a game in the National Hockey League, featuring an afterward from Manon herself. “One day, a woman will play in the National Hockey League. If no one prevents her,” said a twelve-year-old Manon Rhéaume. Manon always dreamed of playing hockey. So, when the team her father coached needed a goalie, five-year-old Manon begged for the chance to play. She didn’t care that she’d be the only girl in the entire league or that hockey was considered a “boys’ sport” in her hometown of Lac-Beauport, Quebec, Canada. All she cared about was the game. After her father gave her that first chance to play, she embarked on a spectacular, groundbreaking career in hockey. At every level of competition, Manon was faced with naysayers, but she continued to play, earning her place on prestigious teams and ultimately becoming the first woman to play a game in the NHL. Including an afterword written by Manon herself, Breaking the Ice is the true story of one girl’s courage, determination, and love for the sport.

He's the cocky celebrity goalie who wants a fresh start. She's the ruthless assistant coach who wants him off her team. Working together to win a championship will be no easy score. Why would star goaltender Daniel Evans join the struggling Toronto Towers? Assistant coach Lauryn Jackson is skeptical of his motives and overrated skillset. Daniel just wants to get on the good side of Lauryn's skirt-suit and stilettos, but she doesn't have time for his smug, perfectly scruffy face. She's determined to lead the Towers to victory in her own way, but the men in power have different plans. Lauryn soon realizes she could use Daniel's influence to her advantage. As the Towers chase an elusive championship title, the tension and attraction build between Daniel and Lauryn. Their undeniable connection forces them to confront their deepest fears and desires. Break the Ice is a pro-hockey contemporary romance, written by a former sports journalist. The banter is as sharp as skates. The steamy scenes are more intense than power plays. And the laughs hit like unexpected slap shots. This heartwarming, long-form novel is the first book in the Game Over series, and can be read as a standalone. What makes this hockey romance unique? - The female protagonist is a member of the hockey team — not a figure skater, a public relations manager, or a player’s sister. Break the Ice’s female lead is a coach! - In this universe, the NHL doesn’t exist. Instead, the fictional North American Hockey League is the pinnacle of pro-hockey, and is more progressive about employing women and people of colour. - It's not just about love and dating. It's about how to land your dream job. It's about how to communicate effectively. It's about how to manage anxiety. Additionally, Break the Ice explores these key concepts: - Ambitious women navigating a male-dominated industry. - Building a chosen family. - Challenging white privilege in Canadian hockey culture. Not a hockey fan? Not a problem! This novel includes footnotes to empower readers with relevant hockey knowledge! Content warning: This novel contains mature themes and content that may be distressing to some readers, including but not limited to: explicit language, sexual scenes, descriptions of violence and injury, psychological trauma, alcohol use, and references to mental health struggles.

Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.
