Rival

They built their careers on hating each other. They didn't plan on anything else. Ryder Callahan is the face of the Chicago Steelwolves. Dangerous on ice. Magnetic off it. Every franchise's nightmare and every sponsor's dream. The media loves him. His fans worship him. His rivals fear him. Sloane Wilder is the face of the Detroit Ironhawks. Back-to-back scoring champion. The most prepared player in the game. She didn't get here by being liked — she got here by being undeniable. For three years, Callahan versus Wilder has been the most electric rivalry in hockey. Sold-out arenas. Viral press conferences. Two franchises built on the heat between their faces. The fans live for their war. The sponsors pay millions for it. The media runs it on a loop. There is one problem. At 11:47 PM on a Tuesday in November, Sloane Wilder texts Ryder Callahan from a hotel room in Chicago. And he texts back. And neither of them stops. RIVAL is a 200-episode hockey romance series about two people who made themselves into weapons and then found the one person they couldn't aim at. It is about the cost of a public life and the danger of a private one. It is about what happens when the most carefully constructed rivalry in sports starts to feel like the longest way around to something else entirely. The ice is where they perform. Everything else is where it gets complicated. New episodes daily. Binge the series that has hockey fans and romance readers choosing sides — and then choosing each other.
