The Long Game: Now Streaming on Crave and HBO Max (Game Changers: Heated Rivalry Book Series 6)

Five years. That's how long Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been hockey's most electric rivalry—and each other's greatest secret.

On the ice, they're opponents. Competitors. Two of the NHL's brightest stars trading glares across center ice while the world debates who reigns supreme. Off the ice, behind closed doors and stolen weekends, they're something else entirely. Something neither of them has been willing to name out loud—at least not where anyone might hear.

Shane has always played the long game. Careful, controlled, calculated. He loves Ilya with a fierceness that terrifies him, but he's also terrified of what happens when the secret gets out. His career, his reputation, everything he's built—it could all shift the moment he stops hiding. So he keeps waiting for the right moment, the perfect time, the guaranteed safe outcome that never quite arrives.

Ilya is done waiting.

He's given Shane five years of patience, five years of quiet hotel rooms and careful goodbyes. But Ilya Rozanov has never been a man who stays quiet, and the weight of this secret is starting to feel heavier than any championship trophy.

In this beloved sixth installment of Rachel Reid's New York Times bestselling Game Changers series—now a hit streaming show on Crave and HBO Max—two men must decide if love is worth the risk of losing everything they've carefully protected. Spoiler: the answer will wreck you
