According to People, the book will debut in fall 2026 and follows Ilya and Shane now that “they’re out, married and even playing on the same team. And the public reaction to their love has been mostly supportive.”
“They’ve gotten a lot of love from fans who are thrilled for them. But some people in the hockey world are still reeling from their relationship reveal, and the backlash — led by popular hockey podcast Top Shelf and the #TakeBackHockey movement — is getting louder,” reads the synopsis.
“Ilya and Shane are finally able to stand together in the light, the way they’d always wanted,” it adds. “And now they might be facing their biggest challenge yet.”
“I’m really excited to have the chance to continue their story with Unrivaled. I’m writing this one for all the Hollanov fans, old and new,” Rachel told the outlet. “I can’t tell you how much the love my characters have received over the years means to me. It has been a blast writing these guys again, and revisiting the entire Game Changers cast.”
