Overview

Two rivals. One room. Three weeks to ruin everything.

Declan Morrow 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 gold. What he's not here for is Cole Arsenault.

Cole 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. Declan has resented him for six years.

And now they're stuck sharing an apartment in the Olympic village.

The room is too small. The tension too high. And somewhere between the late-night silences 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. Declan's agent is circling. A journalist is closing in with a story threatening to out closeted NFL players. And Cole has been here 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.

Perfect for fans of Rachel Reid's Heated Rivalry who want higher stakes, and an Olympic clock ticking down to zero.

Medaling is a dual-POV, rivals-to-lovers MM hockey romance featuring forced proximity, a closeted athlete finding his courage, explicit open-door scenes, and a guaranteed HEA.
