The Game Changer series introduces a new book featuring additional adventures with Hollander and Rozanov.

      Following the success of the Heated Rivalry television series, which attracted more attention to the Game Changer books, it was a logical choice to release a new installment shortly. Author Rachel Reid is taking advantage of the moment and providing fans with a seventh book in her popular queer romance series, titled Unrivaled. This new entry will return beloved characters Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, marking the couple's third appearance in the series after Heated Rivalry and The Long Game.

      As for the plot, if you wish to avoid any possible spoilers for season two, it's best to look away now! In Unrivaled, the hockey-playing couple is newly married, openly out, and playing on the same team. While they are living out their dreams, significant challenges are still ahead for them.

      The book is scheduled for release on September 29, 2026.

      Here’s the official synopsis and the book cover below:

      A line has been drawn—and the hockey world is divided.

      For the first time in their professional careers, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander have nothing to conceal. After over a decade of keeping their love secret, they are now out, married, and even teammates. The support has been tremendous—most of the time.

      They have received an outpouring of love from fans who are excited for them. However, some individuals in the hockey community are still grappling with the news of their relationship, and the backlash—spearheaded by the popular hockey podcast Top Shelf and the #TakeBackHockey movement—is growing louder. Ilya and Shane are finally in a position to stand together in the open, fulfilling their long-held desire. Yet, they may now be confronting their most significant challenge to date.
