This Piece Of My Heart: Clearing the Ice, Book One

by Robyn M. Ryan

Overview

She had her future all planned...until she met him.

Struggling to live up to the high expectations of overprotective parents and a hefty family name, Caryn Stevens only wants one summer of fun before she focuses on finishing her college degree. She knows her destiny-to lead her dad's multi-million dollar business. But that plan changes forever the day she runs into-literally-sexy and single professional hockey player, Andrew Chadwick.

Sparks instantly fly between the two, and Caryn can't resist his charms as she discovers that Andrew has a reputation of winning - both on and off the ice. One of the most eligible singles in Toronto, Andrew could have any woman he wants, and he's got Caryn in sights. But, when Caryn's parents disapprove of the match and threaten to disinherit her and his hockey team trades him to a new city, it may take more than love for the couple to survive this penalty play.

**This Piece of My Heart is the first book in the Clearing the Ice trilogy. Book 2, This Piece of My Soul, is out now! The trilogy is complete​ and concludes with This Piece of Our Being, also available now!**

About the Author

Chicago born, honorary Atlanta native, Parisienne at heart. Proud 60’s Flower Child. “Fearless” barrier-breaker for female sports journalists and minor league “batpersons.” While at UGA, scored PR internship with an NHL team during its first season. Interviewed future MLB and NHL Hall of Fame members; published in a variety of print media. Wife, mom, PR professional, and finally, 35 years later, published author.

Besides writing, Robyn’s passions include NHL hockey, NASCAR, and the Atlanta Braves; splitting time between homes in Atlanta and Palm Coast, and visiting Paris as often as possible. Robyn's motto is "You're never too old to chase your dream."

As do some writers, Robyn chooses to write using a pseudonym—hers is a combination of her sons’ names, a contribution from her youngest nephew.

Editorial Reviews

This Piece Of My Heart


This Piece Of My Heart, the first novel from Robyn M. Ryan, is also the first sports romance I've read, and I very much hope it won't be the last. The sports theme gave me a fascinating glimpse into a world that's unfamiliar to me, and the romance is refreshingly genuine and fun. The characters are likeable and engaging, and I sat up ridiculously late reading it because I so much wanted to see what happens next!

"This Piece of My Heart delivers a sweet love story that still sizzles -- a must-read for anyone looking for the perfect happily-ever-after."
