About the book

USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid's next Game Changers hockey romance sees a grumpy professional hockey player meet his match in an out-and-proud social media manager... The hits just keep coming for Troy Barrett. Traded to the worst team in the league would be bad enough, but coming on the heels of a messy breakup and a recent scandal... Troy just wants to play hockey and be left alone. He definitely doesn't want to "work on his online presence" with the team's peppy social media manager. Harris Drover can tell standoffish Troy isn't happy about the trade, but Harris doesn't give up on people easily. Even when he's developing a crush he's sure is one-sided. And when he sees Troy's smile finally crack through his grumpy exterior... That's a man Harris couldn't turn his back on if he wanted to. Suddenly, Troy's move to the new team feels like an opportunity--for Troy to embrace his true self, and for both men to explore their growing attraction. But being together behind closed doors is one thing, and for Troy, being in a public relationship with Harris will mean facing off with his fears, once and for all.

  • “This one was so special. Dare I say it? It's better than Heated Rivalry. All the books in this series so far were good, but of all of them this one screams “queer joy” the loudest. I cannot WAIT to see what Tierney does with it on the screen!”

  • “I understand why people say this is the best book aside from the Ilya/Shane story, I really enjoyed the main characters, it was fun to see Ilya be a primary side character in the book, the topics that were explored are so so important and…”
