Former Rivals

Former Rivals: A Lesbian Hockey Novella

When rivals become lovers, the real game begins.

Larissa Michaels has spent three seasons hating everything about Maria Hechavarr­a-her speed, her skill, and the way she always seems to be exactly where Larissa doesn't want her on the ice. As a star player for the Cougars, Larissa lives for the competition, the crisp bite of October air, and the satisfying crunch of skates on fresh ice.

But one charged glance in a crowded hallway changes everything.

Suddenly, the tension between them isn't just about hockey anymore. When they collide at a team party, the ice-cold rivalry melts into something hot, complicated, and impossible to ignore. Maria's not just a Falcon-she's brilliant, gorgeous, and dangerously easy to fall for.

Can they navigate the fierce competition on the ice while exploring the chemistry burning between them off it?

In this steamy, heartfelt novella, two women discover that the best victories aren't always measured on a scoreboard. With locker room banter, pulse-pounding games, and nights that leave them both breathless, Larissa and Maria prove that former rivals can make the most passionate teammates.
