The locker room's quiet. Just the low hum of the overhead lights and the sound of Ivy's heartbeat thrumming in her ears. She should leave. Rey's already here-already lacing her skates, already pretending not to look up when Ivy steps inside. But they're past pretending now. Past hate. Past whatever flimsy excuses they used to cling to. Ivy sits beside her without a word. Rey doesn't move, but her voice is steady. "You keep showing up." "Yeah," Ivy says. "And you keep letting me." Their eyes meet-sharp, unreadable. It should still feel like a fight. It doesn't. Outside, the rink waits. Their teammates are starting to whisper. The league is watching. The danger is real. But in here, in this moment, it's just them. Something broken. Something building. Something like almost. Ivy Ransom and Rey Navarro are rivals on the ice, enemies in the locker room-and now, thanks to a scandal and a shady PR deal, reluctant teammates forced into the spotlight together. But when their tension turns electric and enemies become something else entirely, they'll have to choose between protecting their pride... or risking everything for the one person who sees them clearly. No Love, Just Hockey (...until there is love) is a slow-burn, queer romance full of sharp banter, bruising emotion, and chemistry that refuses to quit.
