Breaking the Ice

Jack Hughes is one of the NHL's brightest stars - fast, fearless, and adored by millions. But behind the highlight reels and locker room smiles, he's hiding a truth he's never dared to speak aloud.

Until now.

When a quiet connection with a stranger named Leo begins to crack open the armor Jack's built his whole life, he's forced to confront what scares him most: not the game, not the media, but himself. As his world expands beyond the rink, so do the risks - to his career, his team, and the carefully guarded life he's built.

Told through the perspectives of Jack, his brother Quinn, and those who love him most, Breaking the Ice is a story about fear, courage, and the people who show up when the lights go out. It's about being the first - and making sure you're not the last.

For fans of character-driven romance, slow-burn tension, and stories that hit as hard as a slapshot to the chest, Breaking the Ice is a raw, beautiful celebration of what happens when you stop skating away from the truth - and start chasing it.
