Heated Rivalry

Perfect for you if...

You love hockey romance with genuine stakes: career pressure, family obligations, and the tension of keeping a relationship quiet.
You want a slow-burn where the chemistry builds through everyday moments, not just grand gestures.
You appreciate flawed characters who are trying to do right by others while fighting what they actually want.

Maybe not for you if...

You need explicit scenes early and often; this book prioritises emotional connection over steam.
You prefer romance where both characters are completely free to be together; the secrecy angle may frustrate you.
You're looking for hockey fiction that's heavy on sport mechanics and locker room dynamics rather than relationship focus.

About this book

Hudson Newgate, nicknamed "New Guy" by his teammates, has been traded multiple times throughout his hockey career—in Chicago, Vancouver, and now Brooklyn. Brooklyn represents his last chance after a disappointing season. Hudson is determined to focus on hockey and avoid distractions. However, he finds himself drawn to Gavin, the new athletic trainer for his team who also lives in his building. Gavin is a single father who needs to keep his job secure. A relationship between them seems impossible. Hudson's agent—his father—would disapprove of him dating a man, and the team needs Hudson to perform well on the ice, not create media attention. Despite these obstacles, Hudson and Gavin struggle to resist each other.
