New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid brings you exactly what you want-more 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.
