The Long Game (Game Changers #6) by Rachel Reid

The series that inspired Heated Rivalry — now streaming on HBO Max in the U.S. and Crave in Canada.

More Shane and Ilya. Ten years in the making.

To the world, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are rivals. To each other, they are everything. For ten years they've kept their relationship hidden — from friends, from family, from the league. Shane tells himself it's necessary. That protecting his career means protecting their secret. That love and hockey can coexist, as long as no one knows.

Ilya is done with secrets. He's watched Shane get so good at hiding that sometimes he wonders if the feelings are even real anymore. The closeness, the intimacy, the terrifying thrill of being truly known — Ilya wants all of it, out in the open.

Ten years of stolen moments and careful silences have led to this: a choice between the game that made them and the love that sustains them. It's time to decide what matters most.

Deeply romantic and emotionally rich, The Long Game is the payoff readers of the series have been waiting for — a love story a decade in the making, finally ready to be told.
