BESTSELLING MM SPORTS ROMANCE • FROM THE BELOVED GAME CHANGERS SERIES
A FAN-FAVORITE HOCKEY ROMANCE
“Smart, emotional, and irresistibly romantic.”
—Praised by romance readers and LGBTQ+ fiction fans
A standout installment in the acclaimed Game Changers series, delivering slow-burn chemistry, heartfelt character depth, and the intense world of professional hockey romance.
What happens when the game you love forces you to face the truths you’ve been avoiding?
In Common Goal (Game Changers Series Book 4) by Rachel Reid, the intensity of professional hockey meets the quiet, complicated journey of self-acceptance. Set in the high-pressure world of elite sports, the story follows two players at very different stages of their lives—one confident in his identity, the other still struggling to understand his own.
Their connection begins with cautious curiosity but quickly deepens into something neither of them expected. On the ice, they’re teammates chasing the same goal. Off the ice, they’re navigating emotions, fears, and a bond that challenges everything they thought they knew about themselves.
But the world they live in isn’t always ready for honesty. Expectations from teammates, fans, and the sport itself create barriers that are difficult to break. The closer they grow, the greater the risk—not just to their careers, but to their sense of self.
As pressure builds and choices become unavoidable, they must decide whether to play it safe… or take a chance on something real.
Because sometimes, the biggest goal isn’t the one you score—it’s the one you finally allow yourself to feel.
