About the In the Paddock series
In the Paddock is Hannah Grace's follow-up to her breakout Maple Hills (Icebreaker) trilogy, moving her from the college-hockey world into the glamour and pressure of professional Formula 1. Billed as a collection of interconnected standalone romances set in a fictional motorsport corner of the wider Maple Hills universe, the series opens with Champagne Problems, following Ivy Miller and F1 driver Saint Thompson. As with Grace's earlier books, expect grumpy/sunshine or rivals-adjacent dynamics, high-stakes competitive-world banter, and a sweetness under the tension that made Icebreaker a BookTok phenomenon.
