Hannah Grace is an English author who's very successful with her adult contemporary romance novels. She's best known for her #1 New York Times bestselling Icebreaker (2022) and its follow-up Wildfire (2023), which were huge hits on TikTok and the Kindle Unlimited program.
Hannah Grace doesn't have an author photo — she writes under a pen name. She keeps her personal life private, avoiding the limelight and public appearances, but she does share pieces of herself through her vividly crafted characters.
Hannah Grace was born and raised in Manchester, England, and never planned to become an author. But during the pandemic, she got bored and thought it would be fun to write a sexy romance about a figure skater and a hockey player. That story turned out to be Icebreaker. It follows Anastasia Allen, a competitive figure skater, and Nate Hawkins, a hockey team captain, as they navigate shared training facilities and a developing connection.
The novel resonated with readers for its themes of resilience, personal growth, and the endearing chemistry between its protagonists.
In Wildfire, Hannah examines the lives of summer camp counsellors Aurora Roberts and Russ Callaghan. After a one-night stand, they unexpectedly reunite as co-workers at camp, where both are seeking solace from their troubled home lives. The book examines how people can hold themselves back, families' struggles, and the importance of finding comfort in unexpected places. Reviewers and readers loved it, describing how emotional it was and how well the characters were developed.
Hannah Grace says her books are "fluffy comfort reads" that are meant to make you feel good. Her books are relatable and realistic, and fans worldwide can relate to the themes and relationships she writes about. Even though her novels are set in the US, she says her inspiration comes from years of watching American TV and reading American books and from her frequent trips to the US, including her favourite city, New York.
Currently, Hannah's working on the next part of the Maple Hills series, which is all about Henry. You might know him from Icebreaker — he's a fan-favourite! We don't have all the deets yet, but the readers can't wait — it will be another chapter in her signature style of heartfelt romance and engaging storytelling.
Hannah Grace lives in Manchester with her two dogs, Pig and Bear. They're the names she's used for her self-publishing imprint.
