About the Icebreaker series
Figure skater Anastasia Allen and hockey captain Nathan Hawkins are forced to share ice time at fictional Maple Hills University, and what starts as icy mutual resentment (his team's practice keeps bumping hers) turns into grudging respect, then something a lot less platonic. Hannah Grace's Icebreaker began as Wattpad fan fiction before a bidding war and a Simon & Schuster deal turned it into one of the biggest romance debuts of the decade, credited with helping ignite BookTok's college-sports-romance wave. It's a slow-burn enemies -to-lovers built on banter, competing athletic ambitions, and a hero who falls first and falls hard.
Wildfire and Daydream continue the Maple Hills world with new couples on the same campus and overlapping supporting casts (Stassie and Nate return in cameo roles), rounding the series out to a loose trilogy rather than a direct continuation of one couple's story. The appeal across all three: grumpy/sunshine and rivals-to-lovers dynamics, sports-team banter, low-angst 'New Adult' college stakes, and a sweetness under the spice that made the series a gateway into contemporary romance for a huge new readership.
How to read this series
The three Maple Hills books — Icebreaker, Wildfire, Daydream — are connected standalones: each follows a different couple on the same college campus, with earlier leads showing up in supporting roles. Publication order works perfectly and there's no chronological wrinkle to worry about. Start with Icebreaker — it's both the reading-order starting point and the book that made the series a phenomenon. You don't need to read all three to enjoy any one of them, but going in order lets you catch the cameos and campus-wide threads.
Frequently asked questions
How many books are in the Icebreaker series?
Three books make up the Maple Hills series: Icebreaker, Wildfire, and Daydream.
What order should I read the Icebreaker (Maple Hills) books in?
Publication order: Icebreaker, then Wildfire, then Daydream. Each is a standalone romance with a new couple, so you can start anywhere, but Icebreaker is the intended entry point.
Is there a 4th Icebreaker book coming?
No new Maple Hills book has been announced as of August 2026. Hannah Grace's next project is a different series, In the Paddock, not a continuation of Maple Hills.
Do Wildfire and Daydream follow the same couple as Icebreaker?
No. Each Maple Hills book follows a different central couple on the same campus; Anastasia and Nate from Icebreaker appear only in supporting/cameo roles in the later books.
Is Icebreaker a standalone or does it need a sequel to finish the story?
Icebreaker is a complete, self-contained romance with its own ending. Wildfire and Daydream are follow-ups in the same world, not continuations of Icebreaker's plot.
