Fans of the series «Heated Rivalry» were disappointed when they finished watching the finale of the first season of «The Cottage» on Crave and HBO Max. What are we supposed to do for the next year while waiting for Hudson Williams and Connor Story to return as Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov? Quinn answered the fans' prayers by offering them something new: a three-part audio project titled «Ember & Ice», - featuring the popular actors themselves!
Hudson and Connor play fairy princes from rival kingdoms, which is a completely different story of enemies turned lovers compared to their hockey roots on screen.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan before the premiere of the audio series, Connor admitted that he had «never worked in audio format» before collaborating with Quinn.
«I had a lot of fun, to be honest», - added the Texas native, while his colleague Hudson noted, «I think it’s really interesting to explore sexuality and eroticism just through voice. It’s like you’re alone with a microphone and a sound engineer, and you can be in your own world and understand what that means for you without having a body to express yourself. That element is really captivating, very captivating».
Hollywood Life gathered all the details you need to know about how to listen to Hudson and Connor’s new audio series «Ember & Ice».
«Ember & Ice» tells the story of two fairy princes, Dane and Finn, from the rival kingdoms of Solari and Lunare. It becomes clear that they are more than just rivals, as listeners become «intimate observers of every moment of tension, desire, and closeness between Dane and Finn», - according to the description.
«The action takes place in a richly imagined fantasy world shaped by history, longing, and forbidden desire. 'Ember & Ice' tells the story of Dane and Finn, two fairy princes from the rival kingdoms of Solari and Lunare», - the description states. «At its core, 'Ember & Ice' is a story about choosing love against expectations».
Hudson and Connor play Dane and Finn. According to Quinn’s tweet: «Yes, it’s MM. No, there is no listener character. Yes, Hudson moans. No, Connor doesn’t have a Russian accent (we tried). It’s three episodes».
Quinn announced that the first two episodes of the three-part project «Ember & Ice» will be released at midnight Pacific Time / 3:00 AM Eastern Time on Tuesday, December 30, 2025.
Fans will be able to listen to the episodes of «Ember & Ice», - voiced by Hudson and Connor, exclusively on the Quinn platform.
Quinn is an audio app that offers erotic stories read by some of the most well-known voices.
The release date for the second season of «Heated Rivalry» has not yet been set. However, it seems fans will have to wait until 2027, as creator Jacob Tierney told Variety that the second season will not be released simultaneously in 2026 as it was in 2025.
«It can’t come out at the same time next year because at this time last year I wrote five of them, and at this time this year I haven’t written any», - Jacob explained. «So it will be a little later, but still soon… We understand that everyone’s goal is not to have two years between seasons»
