Capitalizing on the massive success of the hit Canadian Crave/HBO Max series Heated Rivalry, audio erotica app Quinn has been teasing the show’s leads, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, as its newest star collaborators.

The rollout began on Friday with a series of cryptic teasers. The first featured hockey gear laid out in a recording studio, soundtracked by the instantly recognizable t.A.T.u. hit "All the Things She Said." A follow-up clip leaned further into the mystery, showing confused production staff questioning why the only food on set was tuna melts, followed by blurred shots, quick cuts, and what appeared to be cue cards — all but confirming the involvement of the Heated Rivalry stars.

Taken together, the clues strongly suggest Quinn is preparing to have Williams and Storrie record audio content drawn from Heated Rivalry, the Rachel Reid novel that inspired the series and the second book in her Game Changers hockey romance universe.

For those not in the know, Quinn is one of the biggest names in audio erotica, an app that allows listeners to experience immersive, self-insertion storytelling. In recent years, the app has elevated its profile by partnering with some of the internet’s most beloved crushes, including Andrew Scott and Jesse Williams, to lend their voices to original and adapted erotic stories.

And for those unfamiliar with Heated Rivalry: it’s a gay enemies-to-lovers story turned breakout TV hit, centered on the combustible relationship between Canadian hockey star Shane Hollander and his cocky Russian rival, Illya Rozanov. The show premiered on Crave in Canada before landing on HBO Max weeks later in the U.S. and Australia — and it promptly exploded in popularity. Beyond sharp writing and undeniable chemistry between the leads, the sex scenes are, frankly, very hot.

So, yes, it would make perfect sense for the two stars to lend their voices to the very book that has been taking the internet by storm.

There’s no official announcement from Quinn just yet, so fans will have to wait until Dec. 30 to find out who’s involved — and whether Williams and Storrie will, in fact, be reading from Heated Rivalry or diving into other erotica altogether.
