As Hannah Grace's debut novel, Icebreaker is the first in a planned series based on the fictional University of California, Maple Hills (UCMH). Originally published on the self-publishing platform Wattpad, Icebreaker was eventually picked up by Atria Books and published as paperback in 2022. Grace's novel is a hockey romance, which is subgenera of the new adult romance genre. The story follows the developing relationship between hockey player Nathan Hawkins and figure skater Anastasia Allen, two likely enemies who navigate their respective athletic and college careers while falling in love. It also features many sexually explicit scenes and is considered "spicy" even among fans of the romance genre. Often compared to other sports romance novels like Elle Kennedy's Off Campus series, Icebreaker became a favorite among romance fans on the social media platform TikTok, and Grace continues to post bonus chapters of the novel on her website. This book refers to the 2022 Atria Books paperback. **A TikTok sensation!
