Wicked Serve: A Novel

USA Today Bestseller

From TikTok sensation Grace Reilly, the long-awaited final book in the Beyond the Play series and your newest obsession, a spicy brother’s rival college hockey romance, perfect for fans of Hannah Grace, Liz Tomforde, and Elsie Silver.

He’s my brother’s biggest hockey rival…but he’s bringing the heat for me.

Nikolai

Hockey is my life, and I need to make this last season count. But when I’m forced to transfer to rival school McKee University for my senior year, I risk pissing off the captain, who happens to be the older brother of Isabelle Callahan: the gorgeous beam of sunshine I can't forget after our secret summer romance.

Rekindling our fling, especially with the forced proximity of us being on the same campus, could risk her brother icing me off the team—not to mention the fact that my scarred past makes having a real relationship impossible—and yet the moment I see Isabelle again, all my wild, burning feelings come rushing back.

Izzy

I have two goals for sophomore year: win back my old volleyball position, and forget I ever knew devilishly handsome hockey defenseman Nikolai Abney-Volkov. As the youngest and only daughter in a family full of athletes, failure isn’t an option.

But when Nik crashes back into my life, I can’t stay away from the broody charm of this grumpy athlete. I’m determined to guard my heart this time, but between the furtive hookups and the heartfelt conversations, the lines between friends-with-benefits and more begin to blur.

As we fall deeper in this emotional new adult romance, we’ll have to make a choice: fight for a future together, or watch it go up in flames.
