“Emotional, compelling, and impossible to put down.”
—Loved by contemporary romance readers

A moving romance about facing the past, healing old wounds, and taking the shots that could change everything.

Not every shot is about winning—some change your life entirely.

In The Shots You Take by Rachel Reid, the world of professional hockey becomes the backdrop for a deeply personal story about identity, connection, and the risks we take both on and off the ice.

As two players navigate the demands of their careers, their paths begin to intertwine in ways neither expected. What starts as camaraderie and shared ambition gradually evolves into something more complicated—something harder to ignore.

But in a high-pressure environment where image, expectations, and performance define success, being honest about who you are can come at a cost. Fear of judgment, career consequences, and internal conflict create tension that threatens to keep them apart.

The game may demand focus and discipline, but the heart doesn’t follow the same rules.

As emotions deepen and stakes rise, both must decide what matters more: playing it safe, or taking the shot that could change everything.

Intimate, heartfelt, and quietly powerful, this story captures the courage it takes to be vulnerable.

Because sometimes, the biggest risk isn’t losing the game—it’s not taking the shot at all.
