Heated Rivalry

Rachel Reid

Book 2 of Game Changers

Two rival NHL captains, the reserved Shane Hollander and the brash Ilya Rozanov, begin a secret hookup arrangement that gradually deepens into real feelings over nearly a decade of hidden meetings, coded phone calls, and stolen weekends. As their on-ice rivalry becomes a public spectacle, both men must wrestle with family expectations, career risk, and their own fears about being out in professional sports. The novel unfolds across multiple hockey seasons, tracking their slow emotional evolution from secret hookups to something neither of them can walk away from.
