The Shots You Take – Rachel Reid

Riley Tuck thought returning to his hometown meant leaving his past behind, including his NHL career and the man who broke his heart. But when tragedy strikes, Adam Sheppard, Riley’s former teammate and once-best friend with benefits, comes crashing back into his life.

Adam is now a superstar hockey player, used to bright lights and public scrutiny, but none of that prepares him for facing Riley again or the unresolved feelings between them. As they reconnect in the quiet town of Avery River, grief, guilt, and long-buried love collide, forcing both men to confront the past they never truly left behind.

Tender, emotionally rich, and slow-burn sexy, The Shots You Take is a second-chance hockey romance about forgiveness, healing, and choosing love, even when it feels terrifying.
