About this book
Victoria James has achieved the impossible: she is the first woman to break into the NHL. However, her dream quickly transforms into a high-stakes battle for survival. Every shift on the ice is scrutinized, and she faces relentless pressure to prove she belongs in a league that is not yet ready to accept her. With the media circling like sharks and her own teammates watching her every move, Victoria must remain focused, fearless, and entirely professional. Enter Damian Maddox, the team’s stoic and protective captain. He understands the immense risks of getting involved with the league's most controversial player. A scandal could destroy Victoria’s hard-earned career, yet the undeniable chemistry between them makes distance an impossible goal. As the pair navigates locker room politics, public skepticism, and rising on-ice tensions, their professional boundaries begin to blur. Featuring a slow-burn, forbidden romance trope, this story captures the intense friction between duty and desire. Damian and Victoria find themselves caught in a dangerous game where falling for each other might be the biggest risk of all. Will they succumb to the heat building between them, or will the crushing weight of the "ice ceiling" shatter their chance at a future?

Image 99: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Fast paced and a little spicy This is a fast paced, addictive sports romance that’s a great read for the holidays. It blends heart, heat, and high stakes with the uber Canadian game of hockey! 🇨🇦 This story is about Gracie Monroe being the first woman in the NHL. Her fight to belong is long and hard. She’s strong yet vulnerable. The romance with the team captain is predictably somewhat tense, but I thought it was also well written. If you enjoy the sports romance genre, this one is an easy recommendation.

See all formats and editions She’s the first woman in the NHL. He’s the captain who’s supposed to keep his distance. Victoria James didn’t fight her way into the NHL to be treated like a headline or a distraction. She’s here to prove she belongs. But breaking the league’s biggest barrier means every move she makes is watched, criticized, and judged. Especially by her own teammates. Captain Damian Maddox knows the risks of getting involved with the first woman in the league. The media already circles Victoria like sharks, and one wrong move could destroy everything she’s worked for. But the more time he spends with her, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them. Victoria is fast, fearless, and impossible to forget. Damian is protective, stubborn, and dangerously close to crossing a line neither of them can afford. As the season heats up and the pressure builds, keeping their distance might be the one thing they can’t do. And if the world finds out? It could cost them everything. 🔥 Breaking the Ice Ceiling is a spicy hockey romance featuring: • The first woman in the NHL • A protective captain who falls hard • Slow burn tension and high heat • Team drama and media scrutiny • Found family and fierce loyalty For readers who love intense chemistry, strong heroines, and sports romance that hits as hard as the game itself.

Writing under a pen name, she crafts stories where strong heroines meet their match in equally unforgettable heroes. She has been writing for over twenty years and has completed more than thirty novels—stories that lived in notebooks, files, and late-night drafts long before they ever reached publication. Though she’s only now sharing them with the world, writing has always been her first love, and she has no plans of stopping anytime soon. Her debut book, Breaking the Ice Ceiling, blends slow-burn tension, heartfelt emotion, and the kind of chemistry that lingers long after “The End.” Gracie believes in happily ever afters, but she also loves exploring the bumps, sparks, and stumbles along the way. Though she writes under a pseudonym, Gracie is closer than you think. She could be your neighbor, your coworker, or that woman you pass in the coffee shop every morning. You never really know… Gracie loves connecting with readers and welcomes them to find her on Facebook and join the conversation. about this author Read less about this author) Products related to this item Sponsored Page 1 of 1Start over Previous page of related Sponsored Products 1.
