Based on Rachel Reid’s bestselling
Game Changers book series, Heated Rivalry is now streaming on Crave in
Canada and on HBO Max in the U.S.
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…
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 neighborhood 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.
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?

he discovers Gabi has just returned from maternity leave! The baby
must be his...and if Gabi won't tell him then Alim will seduce the

world into chaos! Her sweetness intrigues him beyond measure...and

Annabel is in the thick of sandwich generation territory.
Widowed for nearly a decade and bringing up two teenagers alone, she
now faces the dilemma of what is best for her ageing mother.
Her strong-willed sisters, Ginnie and Clarissa, have already mentally
sold her mother’s London house, mentally spent the proceeds, but
Annabel isn't sure what her mother will think of their plan. . .
After a decade on her own, Annabel's children have also decided now is
the time to act as match makers. Before she knows it, Annabel has two
romantic prospects; the charming, ex-army builder currently doing the
loft extension in her home and, even more unexpectedly, the vicar from
her local church.
But when family secrets come to light which threaten the entire fabric
of Annabel’s childhood and family, what what — or who — she needs in
her life comes becomes suddenly crystal clear to her, in the most
surprising of ways. . .
The first rule of handling PR for a hockey team? Never hook up with a player.
That shouldn’t be a problem since the last man on earth I want to give an image makeover to is our goalie. He’s infuriatingly hot, famously grumpy and lives to spar with me after every game. Shining up his rough edges is my path to landing the promotion I need, so I grit my teeth and do my job, no matter how hard he makes it.
As I get to know the man behind the broody iceman exterior, he becomes impossible to resist and soon, only once turns into every night.
But the man is entirely off limits.
Because the only thing worse than hooking up with a player is falling head over heels for him.
ELOISE’S STORY
Sir Phillip knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d
proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a
little desperate for an offer of marriage. Except . . . she wasn’t. The
beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she
stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was
kiss her . . . and more.
Did he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn’t marry a man she
had never met. But then she started thinking . . . and wondering . . .
and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of
the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect
match. Except . . . he wasn’t. Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody
and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a
large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London
gentlemen vying for her hand. But when he smiled . . . and when he
kissed her . . . the rest of the world simply fell away, and she
couldn’t help but wonder . . . could this imperfect man be perfect for
her?
"Be the biggest, baddest witch
in town so no one ever dares bully you again." That was her
grandmother's advice and it's been Emberlyn's law since she was a
child. It's kept the local coven at bay - until now...
They're furious she won't give up Black Willow Manor, her grandmother's
prized home and worse - that the land beside it and Emberlyn herself
has been left to Jax 'Ripper' Stone, a rugged, brooding Alpha werewolf.
The chemistry between them has always been white hot but Ripper knows
to be careful with witches- especially one with her reputation. Now
they are allies it becomes harder to ignore - Emberlyn calls to him.
Drives him to claim her. But danger's closing in, threatening to take
her from him.
Not that Emberlyn can't handle it. She's no damsel. Doesn't need a
hero. Sometimes, it takes a wicked witch to get things done. And
Emberlyn has ever excelled at being wicked.
Welcome to Chilgrave... HEA guaranteed!
Jacki de Wet is verslaaf aan die internet en sosiale media. Van Facebook, Instagram, X en TikTok weet sy genoeg om gevaarlik te wees. Sy en Pulani vorm ’n formidabele span en hou Die Boekhoek aan die gang. Miskien moes iemand vir Gary, Jacki se baas en verloofde, gewaarsku het toe hy ’n affair met Sally Smith wou begin. “Ebony and Ivory” laat nie met hulle mors nie.
Om van Gary se skelmpie ontslae te raak, is maklik genoeg, maar wat doen sy met die verraad en die woede? Nou sit Jacki sonder iemand om haar ’n bietjie vas te hou, sonder werk en sonder ’n huis. In Tamatiestraat.
Toe die musikant Giovanni Ignacio Mancini sy verskyning maak, verwar hy haar verder. Hy is soos die mooie Vivaldi-musiek wat hy op sy Stradivarius-viool speel – soms guitig of baldadig, soms strelend, smeulend, altyd sensueel. En dan is daar Sebastian, die wonderkind, wat eintlik maar net ’n seuntjie is met ’n groot hartseer.
Jacki sing falsetto, sy weet nie waar sy inpas nie. Sy wil ’n sushi-en-sjampanje-lewe hê, maar die wasabi brand en gee haar sooibrand … en eintlik is sy net ’n vis-en-tjips-meisie.
RYAN
She's a distraction, that's what she is.
I'm the newest Captain of the Devils, Chicago's NBA team, and the last
thing I needed this year was for Indy Ivers, my sister's best friend,
to move into my apartment. She's messy, emotional, and way too tempting.
But when the team's General Manager vocalizes his blatant disapproval
of my promotion to Captain, referring to me as an unapproachable lone
wolf with no work-life balance, I can't think of a better way to
convince him otherwise than pretending to date my outgoing roommate.
The only problem? Faking it feels far too natural.
Having a fake girlfriend wasn't supposed to be messy but having Indy
under my roof and in my bed is complicated, especially when she wants
all the romantic parts of life that I could never give her.
INDY
I never imagined I'd be living with my best friend's brother, NBA
superstar Ryan Shay. Even more unbelievable? He needs me to act as his
loving girlfriend who's suddenly changed him into a friendly and
approachable guy.
Because, well . . . he's not. He's controlling of his space and
untrusting of others.
Our arrangement isn't one-sided, though. I'm in a wedding coming up,
one where every one of my childhood friends, including my ex-boyfriend,
will be in attendance, and there's no better date than my ex's
celebrity hero.
Blurred lines make it almost impossible to separate real from fake.
Falling for my roommate was never part of the deal, especially when
Ryan is quick to remind me that he doesn't believe in love.
I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon
enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best
friend's brother was the right move after all . . .

The six D’Aplièse sisters have each been on their own incredible journey to discover their heritage, but they still have one question left unanswered: who and where is the seventh sister? They only have one clue – an image of a star-shaped emerald ring. The search to find the missing sister will take them across the globe – from New Zealand to Canada, England, France and Ireland – uniting them all in their mission to complete their family at last.
In doing so, they will slowly unearth a story of love, strength and sacrifice that began almost one hundred years ago, as other brave young women risk everything to change the world around them.
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.
