Icebreaker

When a figure skater and a hockey captain are forced to share a rink, the only thing colder than the ice is the tension between them.

Anastasia Allen has sacrificed everything for her shot at Team USA. A full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills and a coveted spot on the figure skating team mean she's exactly where she needs to be—until a facilities disaster lands the arrogant hockey team directly in her training space. Suddenly, the ice that belongs to her has a new, very unwelcome occupant in the form of team captain Nate Hawkins.

Nate is focused, driven, and completely unbothered by Anastasia's irritation—which somehow makes her even more irritated. He's all brooding silences and infuriating calm where she's warmth, passion, and fire. They are, in every conceivable way, opposites.

Then a situation arises that neither of them planned for: they need each other. A fake relationship that keeps their respective teams off their backs seems like a reasonable, temporary solution. Feelings, however, are anything but reasonable.

Icebreaker is a swoony, slow-burn sports romance packed with sharp banter, undeniable chemistry, and two people stubbornly resisting what everyone around them can already see. Grace masterfully layers the grumpy-sunshine and fake-dating tropes into something that feels fresh, funny, and achingly real.

One rink. Two rivals. And absolutely no chance of walking away with their hearts intact.
