Medaling: A Rivals-to-Lovers MM Hockey Romance
By Hailey Reaves
Liam Harris is Team USA's most intimidating enforcer — six-foot-three, granite-jawed...and so deep in the closet he's forgotten there's a door. He's at the Winter Olympics for one reason: gold. What he's not here for is Nicolas Arsenault.
Nic left the US for Quebec at sixteen and never looked back. He's bilingual, bisexual, and he's built his whole life around refusing to be anyone other than who he is. Liam hates him so much that six years ago he broke Nic's shoulder on the ice.

Liam Harris is Team USA's most intimidating enforcer — six-foot-three, granite-jawed...and so deep in the closet he's forgotten there's a door. He's at the Winter Olympics for one reason: gold. What he's not here for is Nicolas Arsenault.
Nic left the US for Quebec at sixteen and never looked back. He's bilingual, bisexual, and he's built his whole life around refusing to be anyone other than who he is. Liam hates him so much that six years ago he broke Nic's shoulder on the ice.
And now they're sharing a room in the Olympic village.
Nic's dual citizenship means he's taken a spot on the roster for the USA. Liam doesn't want him there. Nic's not thrilled either. But somewhere between the taut glances and the on-ice chemistry they can't deny, something happens that neither of them has a playbook for — making every stolen hour behind a locked door harder to walk away from.
But the Games have an expiration date. Liam's agent is circling. A journalist is closing in with a story threatening to out closeted players. And Nic has been here before: waiting for a man to choose him, watching the clock run out.
The countdown is real. And falling for each other might cost them everything they've spent their careers building.
Medaling is a standalone dual-POV, rivals-to-lovers MM hockey romance featuring forced proximity, a closeted athlete finding his courage, explicit open-door scenes, and a satisfying HFN.
