    Summary

    This book is complete at 160,000 words. It's the second in my series, Out in the Open. The first is After the Long Game (also complete).

    Reading them in order works better, since this one picks up where After the Long Game ends — but if you'd rather start here, all you need to know is that Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are married and playing on the same team.

    Shane is thirty-one years old, playing the best hockey of his life, and about to start his second season alongside his husband. He has three Stanley Cups and he wants a fourth.

    Ilya is also thirty-one, and he is now out of the darkness that engulfed him. He is captain, he is happy, and he has taken an interest in construction.

    Shane and Ilya have a house, a good dog, a cottage on a lake, and a marriage that is the best thing either of them has ever had. Nobody is hiding anything from anybody. Nobody is going home alone.

    And then something happens that neither of them has any way to prepare for, and that only one of them can feel.

    Summary

    If you came here from watching Heated Rivalry on TV, you’re fine. All you need to know is that Shane and Ilya are married and playing on the same team, and that this is the first book in my series, Out in the Open.

    And if you came here from my second book, The Way Back, welcome! Sit back, relax, and enjoy this book first.

    Shane can have the love of his life.
    Ilya can have a home with Shane.
    They can both be genuinely happy.
    They can go after the Stanley Cup together.
    And Ilya’s mind can still become a difficult place to live in.
    All those things can coexist.

    Fully written and complete at nearly 83,000 words. A full-length continuation of Rachel Reid’s series, picking up after her sixth book, The Long Game.

    The second book in my series is The Way Back, and it’s posting now. Subscribing to After the Long Game won’t tell you when chapters in The Way Back post — so subscribe to both, or to the series, or to me as an author, if you’d like to know.

    Summary

    “Question for Hollander,” the next reporter said. “Do you have any comments on the rumors that you are gay and have a boyfriend?”

    “Wh-what?” Hollander sputtered from Scott’s left. Scott looked over at him and saw his face drained of blood, eyes panicked. Fuck. This had been Scott’s worst nightmare for years. He couldn’t believe this was happening. He turned and looked at the reporter as he continued speaking.

    “Rose Landry’s personal texts were leaked, including several exchanges between the two of you in which you mention having a boyfriend. Is this true? Are you the second gay hockey player in the MLH, after Hunter here?”
