- Book Synopsis
-
Enter the world of Game Changers, the series behind the epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance Heated Rivalry—now streaming on NOW TV—as New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid gives fans what they’ve been yearning for: the long awaited, can’t-miss return of Shane and Ilya.
To the world they are rivals, but to each other they are everything.
Ten years.
That’s how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other. How long they’ve been keeping their relationship a secret. From friends, from family…from the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain secret. He loves Ilya, but what if going public ruins everything?
Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has gotten so good at hiding his feelings, sometimes Ilya questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship…Ilya wants it all.
It’s time for them to decide what’s most important—hockey or love.
It’s time to make a call.
Ideal for readers who:
- Return to queer sports romance where established love carries as much weight as first attraction.
- Follow Shane and Ilya as secrecy, league pressure and public identity force a decision.
- Engage with hockey romance shaped by ambition, reputation and the cost of being seen.
- Prefer emotionally mature romance with longing, restraint and a strong sense of payoff.
