The Shots You Take by Rachel Reid (Paperback)

A sweet and sexy hockey romance about two ex-teammates and former best friends with benefits who are about to discover whether you can ever really have a second chance, from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Heated Rivalry and The Long Game.

Riley Tuck has built a quiet life in his hometown, leaving behind both his professional hockey career and the memories tied to it. For years, he has kept his distance from the past, focusing on moving forward.

Everything changes when an unexpected loss brings Adam Sheppard back into his life. Once teammates and close in more ways than one, their history is complicated, marked by unresolved feelings and a difficult ending. Adam’s return forces Riley to confront emotions he thought he had left behind.

For Adam, coming to Avery River is not simple. He knows rebuilding trust will not be easy, especially given the way things ended between them. His public life as a successful hockey player only adds pressure to an already fragile situation.

As they spend time together again, old dynamics begin to resurface. The connection between them remains, but so do the challenges that once pushed them apart. With the past still shaping their present, they must decide if they are willing to face what went wrong and consider the possibility of starting over.
