Editorial Director Emily Gowers has acquired World All Language rights, including film and TV, for two MM hockey romances from author KC Carmichael. The first book, a rivals-to-lovers romance set against the backdrop of the Winter Olympics, will publish November 2025. Under the intense pressure and scrutiny of the world’s biggest winter sporting event, two opposing hockey players are forced to team up, but as the ice melts between them, will their fierce rivalry transform into something more…?
KC says,
“I’m thrilled to be working with Emily Gowers and Storm Publishing! Bringing the emotionally charged atmosphere of the Olympics to life is exciting. I can’t wait for readers to skate into this world and witness love and glory come together under such high stakes!”
Emily says,
“I am absolutely delighted to welcome KC Carmichael to Storm Publishing. Her writing grabbed me from the start and she brilliantly captures both the intensity of elite sports and the vulnerability of falling in love. The Winter Olympic setting provides the perfect high-stakes backdrop for this intense rivals-to-lovers story, and I know that readers are going to find her KC’s compelling characterization and sizzling chemistry completely irresistible.”
