Ilya Rozanov is a jerk. As the captain of the Boston bears, he is the cockiest, most infuriating player in the NHL-at least according to Shane Hollander. For years, their legendary rivalry has defined the league: a relentless cycle of trash-talk, hard hits, and mutual hatred. But for Charlotte Hollander, the rivalry is becoming a major headache. Charlotte only has two priorities:leading her university volleyball team to a national championship and being the supportive sister Shane needs. She's supposed to hate the man who makes her brother's life a living hell. She should want nothing to do with the arrogant Russian superstar. The problem? Ilya Rozanov is sexy as hell, and he knows it. When Ilya realizes that the key to finally getting under Shane's skin is his little sister, he decides to play his most dangerous game yet. He starts showing up at her matches, flirting in the hallways, and making sure the cameras catch every wink. It's supposed to be psychological warfare against Shane. But Charlotte isn't just a spectator-she's an athlete with a fire that rivals Ilya's own. She fires back at every one of his taunts. Everything changes one night in a Montreal bar. Fueled by a crushing losses and too many shots of vodka, the masks finally slip. In the dim light of a corner, Ilya and Charlotte trade dangerous truths and hotel room numbers, blurring the line between "enemy" and "obsession." Now, Ilya realizes he's no longer playing for the spite-he's playing for her. And Charlotte is caught in the ultimate trap: a secret agreemeent with the one man who could destroy her brother's career, and her own heart.

A pop princess. A hockey god. One secret. Two broken hearts.

WARNING: this takes place after the second book about Ilya and Shane by Rachel Reid. If you haven't read the books 'heated rivalry' and 'the long game' you might not understand this storyline. Two years after their wedding, Shane and Ilya both decided that it's time for them to start their own family. They knew it was gonna be a long process, but they knew they'd face it together. And then... there were Maeve and Elli. While Elli was a happy Child, singing all the frozen songs while walking to kindergarten, Maeve was her sisters opposite. And she was NOT a child anymore. She wouldn't bother to stay at the hollanovs for long. She knew, it'd only be a matter of time for them to pick Elli but not Maeve.

Irina Rozanova-Hollander had been told she was wearing the blades of glory all of her life. As the only daughter to hockey legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, she had always been in the spotlight, just like her dads and as Canada's most prestigious teen athlete in figure skating, she also finds her greatest passion on the ice. It all would have been so perfect, only if it wasn't for that one junior hockey player making her life hell, and an unknown number watching her every move.
