Ice Hockey Romance

Lainey Harper has never been a puck bunny. She wants nothing to do with hockey or hockey players – not after what she's been through. So why can't she resist Cooper Mead?

Portland's newest hockey star, Cooper, is all muscle and charisma. And he's Lainey's worst nightmare. Hooking up with him would bring back memories and risk the hard–earned anonymity she's sacrificed everything to protect.

When Lainey finally gives in to Cooper's sexy charm, the chemistry's intense – but so is the media exposure. And now Lainey's got even more to lose than her secret – she's got Cooper.

Playing to win means playing dirty… 

Holly Evans is intelligent, educated and crazy about sports – so how did she end up prancing about in a miniskirt and teasing her hair like some broadcasting bimbo? Of course, since she's already iced her journalistic integrity, Holly might as well indulge in a little fangirl lust for the ripped captain of Portland's hockey team. 

Luke Maguire sees right through Holly's bunny disguise, and he's ready to pull her into the locker room and strip it all off. Then Holly discovers someone on the team is profiting from a little over/under betting. Suddenly her lusting for Luke is going head–to–head with her reporting instincts. And if she's caught offside, there's no telling what the penalty will be…

Based on Rachel Reid's bestselling Game Changers book series, Heated Rivalry is now streaming in Australia on HBO Max and Sky in New Zealand.

The epic enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid.

Nothing interferes with pro hockey star Shane Hollander's game.

Now that he's captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he won't let anything jeopardize that-definitely not the sexy rival he loves to hate.

Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov is everything Shane's not. The self-proclaimed king of the ice, he's as cocky as he is talented. No one can beat him-except Shane. Publicly, they're enemies. Privately, they can't stop touching each other.

The smart thing to do? Walk away, once a few secret hookups turn into a struggle to keep their relationship out of the press. The truth could ruin them both. But for Shane and Ilya, secrecy is soon no longer an option...

She thought one night would be enough...

After a childhood spent being dragged across the country by her hockey coach father, Hayden Houston is finally taking time to figure out her future. That future might still include her on-again, off-again boyfriend - but it definitely won't include the for-one-night-only stranger she just met at a bar. One night, no strings, no complications. That was the deal.

...but he never agreed to those terms

Hockey star Brody Croft did not get the memo about being temporary. Big, bold and relentlessly driven, he gives everything to the things that matter - and right now, that means his team and the woman who has been on his mind ever since she walked out his door. The two of them are good together. Really good. There's a connection he's never felt before, and he isn't about to let a game-fixing scandal - or the fact that her father owns his team - stand in the way.

Now Hayden has to decide whether the life she planned is really the one she wants - because Brody Croft is turning out to be so much more than she bargained for.

They have nothing in common - so why does Ryan feel most like himself with Fabian? Opposites attract in this steamy Game Changers romance from USA TODAY bestselling author Rachel Reid.

Pro hockey star Ryan Price may be an enforcer, but off the ice he struggles with anxiety. Recently traded to Toronto, he's determined to make a fresh start in the city's dynamic LGBTQ+ Village. The last thing he expects to find in his new neighbourhood is a blast from his past in the fabulous form of Fabian Salah.

Aspiring musician Fabian loathes hockey. But that doesn't stop him from being attracted to a certain burly ginger-bearded defenseman. He hasn't forgotten the kiss they almost shared back in high school, and the chemistry between them has only intensified.

Fabian is more than happy to be Ryan's guide to the gay scene in Toronto. Between dance clubs and art exhibits - and the most amazing sex-Ryan's feeling something he hasn't experienced in a long time: joy. But playing the role of the heavy on the ice has taken its toll on his body and mind, and a future with Fabian may mean hanging up his skates for good.

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.

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.

Common Goal

Veteran goaltender Eric Bennett has faced down some of the toughest shooters on the ice, but nothing prepared him for his latest challenge-life after hockey. It's time to make some big changes, starting with finally dating men for the first time.

Graduate student Kyle Swift moved to New York nursing a broken heart. He'd sworn to find someone his own age to crush on (for once). Until he meets a gorgeous, distinguished silver fox hockey player. Despite their intense physical attraction, Kyle has no intention of getting emotionally involved. He'll teach Eric a few tricks, have some mutually consensual fun, then walk away.

Eric is more than happy to learn anything Kyle brings to the table. And Kyle never expected their friends-with-benefits arrangement to leave him wanting more. Happily-ever-after might be staring them in the face, but it won't happen if they're too stubborn to come clean about their feelings.

Everything they both want is within reach... They just have to be brave enough to grab it.

Role Model

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 doesn't want to be in the news anymore, and 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-anyone could tell, frankly, as he doesn't exactly hide it well-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, well... 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 surrender to their growing attraction. But indulging in each other 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.

The Long Game

Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been seeing each other for ten years and have kept it 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 make the call and decide what's most important - hockey or love.

The book that started it all! New York Times bestselling author Rachel Reid's beloved Game Changers series starts here, with a secret-relationship romance set in the world of professional hockey.

New York Admirals captain Scott Hunter takes his pregame rituals very seriously. When a particular smoothie precedes Scott's breaking his on-ice slump, he's desperate to recreate the magic...and to get to know the sexy, funny guy behind the counter.

Kip Grady knew there was more to Scott's frequent visits than blended fruit, but he never let himself imagine being invited back to Scott's penthouse. Or kissed with reckless abandon-and more. What goes on between them is hot, incredible and frequent...but also only on Scott's terms and always behind his closed apartment doors.

Scott needs Kip in his life, but with playoff season approaching, the spotlight on him is suddenly brighter than ever. He can't afford to do anything that might derail his career or the public's image of what a hockey captain should be. Kip is ready to go all in with Scott-but how much longer will he have to remain a secret?

"A hilarious, sexy debut from an author who truly knows her hockey." - RACHEL REID, No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry on Shoot Your Shot

USA TODAY bestselling author, NHL insider, and TikTok influencer Lexi LaFleur Brown is back with another trope-packed, spicy, hockey-accurate rom com!

Don't get mad-get even.

A grudge hates to see Olivia Hinckley coming. Years ago, a dirty hit ended her late father's NHL career with the Minnesota Freeze. It was never fair that Erik Parker walked away with little more than a penalty, but it's worse that her father's rival is now up for Hall of Fame induction. On top of that, Erik's son-hockey's golden boy, Brody-just signed on to play for the Freeze. Determined to dismantle the Parker legacy, Olivia enacts a revenge plot that has her donning the Freeze's mascot costume to gain intel on the Parkers. And she can't help but mess with Brody's gameplay-and his heart for good measure. After all, what's a little fake dating between enemies?

Brody Parker only ever wanted to play hockey for fun, but the pressure of being part of hockey's 'First Family' has him dodging nepotism allegations along with high sticks. Erik might act like Father of the Year when the cameras are on, but behind closed doors, Brody struggles with his father's impossible expectations. Preserving Erik's image is a full-time job, but lucky for Brody, his new connection with Olivia is a welcome (spicy) distraction.

When Brody finally opens up to Olivia, she never expected she'd pity a Parker for anything. Suddenly, she wants to protect her once-enemy. The romantic feelings she faked are now unexpectedly real, but after leading Brody on for so long, can she keep the lies and the truth straight before she accidentally blows up his whole life?

From the New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry comes a sexy opposites-attract winter romance between a shy goaltender and his charming All-Star teammate.

For Landon Stackhouse, being called up from the Calgary farm team is exciting and terrifying, even if, as the backup goalie, he rarely leaves the bench. A quiet loner by nature, Landon knows he gives off strong 'don't talk to me' vibes. The only player who doesn't seem to notice is Calgary's superstar young winger, Casey Hicks.

Casey treats Landon like an old friend, even though they've only interacted briefly in the past. He's endlessly charming and completely laid-back in a way that Landon absolutely can't relate to. They couldn't have less in common, but Landon needs a place to live that's not a hotel room, and Casey has just bought a massive house-and hates being alone.

As roommates, Casey refuses to be defeated by Landon's one-word answers. As friends, Landon starts to notice a few things about Casey, like his wide, easy smile and sparkling green-blue eyes. Spending the holidays together only intensifies their bromance-turned-romance. But as the new year approaches, the countdown to the end of Landon's time in Calgary is on.
