Icebreaker

When the University of California, Maple Hills shuts one rink after a catastrophic prank, pairs figure skater Anastasia Allen is shoved into a logistical nightmare. She needs flawless training to nail the Lutz that could change her season—and her life. Hockey captain Nathan Hawkins has his own mess to manage, including a team on thin ice and a reputation he’s finally trying to outgrow. Forced to share ice time, they start out as irritation and banter, veer straight into chemistry that won’t quit, and end up holding each other together when everything else falls apart.

Inside the locker rooms and late-night kitchens, at parties and on frozen lakes, Icebreaker blends slow-burn attraction, laugh-out-loud chaos, and a heartfelt, grown-up love story. It’s about learning your limits and then choosing—again and again—the person who knows your worst and loves you better. Expect found family energy, frank conversations about food and mental health, and a steam level that could melt a Zamboni.

• Listeners who love high-heat, high-heart campus romances with smart banter
• Sports-story fans who want found family, team dynamics, and big game energy
• Anyone looking for a couple that learns consent, communication, and care the real way
