Heated Rivalry officially wrapped up its first season with Ilya and Shane spending time together at the Cottage, and Shane's family has an interesting discovery, but fans of the show are nowhere close to done with Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.

An adaptation of Rachel Reid's novels of the same name, the Canadian drama starred Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, and even though the Crave original has been renewed for another season, it cannot be expected until at least 2027, so fans are in for a drought.

A recent update reveals that this is not the case, and Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are set to take up another romance story, this time an audiobook. Keep reading to find out more.

Heated Rivalry premiered with its first two episodes in November 2025, and it didn't take long for the TV show to find an audience further than Reid's readers. With the weekly release schedule, fans instantly fell in love with Hudson Williams' Shane Hollander and Connor Storrie's Ilya Rozanov.

The sixth and final episode of Heated Rivalry premiered on December 26, 2025, and even though it brought a heartwarming conclusion to Ilya and Shane's story for now, fans could not get enough of the two. The wait for Season 2 seemed impossibly long, but fortunately, the wait just got very short.

According to recent reports, the Heated Rivalry stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie are set to return for the celebrity-led audio originals from Quinn. Quinn's celebrity-led audio originals generally find intimate scenes between a lead and the listener, but this formula is being changed for Storrie and Williams as they are set to narrate intimate scenes between two leads.

The description for the three-episode MM romance, set to find Storrie's Dane and Williams' Finn, reads:

"Set in a richly imagined fantasy world shaped by history, duty, and forbidden desire, Ember & Ice follows Dane (Connor Storrie) and Finn (Hudson Williams), two fae princes from the rival Solari and Lunare kingdoms. The series draws listeners deep into the world of the story as it unfolds, positioning them as an intimate observer to every moment of tension, longing, and intimacy between Dane and Finn. At its core, Ember & Ice is a story about choosing love in defiance of expectation."

The immersive audio romance Ember & Ice is set in a rich, imaginary fantasy world, and Quinn has also released an official poster and some pictures hyping up the upcoming immersive audio series.

The first two of the three episodes are set to release on December 30 at 12 AM PT in just a few hours, and the final third episode will be released on January 6 at the same time. However, if you can't wait the few hours, head on over to Quinn for the first eight minutes of Ember & Ice.
