Time to Shine by Rachel Reid (Paperback)

From the New York Times bestselling author of Heated Rivalry comes a merry and bright hockey romance about finding your place, finding your people and finding your way back to the one you love the most.

Landon Stackhouse’s call-up to Calgary is both exciting and overwhelming. As a backup goalie, his time on the ice is limited, and his quiet nature keeps him at a distance from the rest of the team. He prefers to keep to himself, avoiding attention and interaction wherever possible.

Casey Hicks, the team’s standout winger, is the complete opposite. Confident, social, and easygoing, he treats Landon with warmth from the start, ignoring the barriers Landon puts up. Despite their differences, Casey offers Landon a place to stay, turning a practical arrangement into something more personal.

Living together brings them into close contact, and what begins as an unlikely friendship slowly begins to shift. Landon starts to notice the details he once overlooked, while Casey remains steady in his approach, refusing to let distance define their connection.

As the holiday season unfolds, their bond deepens, shaped by shared time and growing understanding. But with Landon’s future uncertain and his time in Calgary limited, both must consider what happens next and whether what they have built can continue beyond the present moment.
