"For fans of Heated Rivalry and the works of Elle Kennedy and Chelsea Curto, Medaling is a rivals-to-lovers queer hockey romance series in which all-American Liam Harris and Canadian American Nic Arsenault must share a room during the Olympics after an altercation between the two led to a broken shoulder...and growing feelings.
Liam Harris is Team USA's most intimidating enforcer. He's 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."
"For fans of Heated Rivalry and the works of Elle Kennedy and Chelsea Curto, Wingmen is a rivals-to-lovers queer hockey romance in which veteran player Dustin Bennet and breakout athlete Elliot Rodriguez take on a bet to see who can achieve the highest body count before summer ends...but end up becoming more interested in each other.
Dustin Bennet used to be the fastest winger in the league. But at twenty-nine, with a busted knee, he has to slow down—and that's terrifying. Dustin wasn’t raised to quit. He was raised to win.
Which means twenty-one-year-old Elliot Rodriguez is going to be a problem.
Elliot just finished one of the most impressive breakout seasons on record, with a win that made every sports headline in the country: Elliot Rodriguez is the new Dustin Bennet.
Dustin isn’t taking that lying down. So when they wind up doing their off-season in the same city, Dustin proposes a bet: act as each other's wingmen through the summer. Highest body count when the season starts in September wins.
As the summer deepens, what started as rivalry becomes something else. And somewhere between the 2 a.m. drinks and the 6 a.m. workouts, they realize they’re more interested in each other than the bodies they’re counting.
But Dustin is hiding something that's getting worse by the week. And Elliot has buried a loss that makes what he’s seeing impossible to ignore.
Summer ends at Labor Day. What they’re building behind the closed door of Dustin’s apartment might not."
