    Summary

    “Ilya, what are we gonna do?” Shane says.

    Ilya finishes whatever he has been doing on his phone, and tosses it gently to the bed beside him. He crosses the room to Shane, stands in front of him, squeezes into his shoulders with his big hands, rubbing them like he means to warm them up.

    “Looks like we will have a little vacation,” he says, with a big obnoxious grin.

     


     

    Boston and Montreal are sent to Paris to play against each other in an exhibition series in January 2017. Ilya and Shane decide to stay in Paris for one more night. Just one more night, so they can talk. Maybe finally understand each other.

    They aren't expecting a volcano to erupt in Iceland and close all the airspace in Europe, leaving them stranded there. Together.

    Summary

    Shane is hiding something that could end his career.

    Ilya is the kind of person who doesn’t stop until he finds it.

    What starts as rivalry turns into fixation.

    Because something about Shane doesn’t make sense,
    his control, his scent, the way he reacts.

    And Ilya doesn’t like unsolved patterns.

    He likes breaking them open.

    Even if it breaks Shane with it.

    Not instinct. Not luck. Not being an alpha.

    Control.

    So when he watches Shane play, he sees it immediately, something precise, something careful, something just out of reach.

    Something hidden.

    And Ilya has never been good at leaving things alone.

    Summary

    2014: Ilya Rozanov shocks the world and breaks Shane Hollander’s heart by disappearing without explanation, and without a goodbye kiss.

    2024: A devastating injury forces Shane to retire early, so he moves to a small town to coach girls hockey and figure out what the hell to do with the rest of his life.

    When recently divorced Ilya Rozanov walks into the rink with his twin girls, Shane has to decide if he’s brave enough to risk a second chance on a broken heart, and a rekindled romance with the first and only boy he ever loved.

    ***

    “So.” Ilya cleared his throat. “Should we tell the girls their Papa and their coach used to date?”

    “We didn’t date. We hooked up a few times, then you disappeared.” Shane looked away to hide his heartbreak as he lied, “It doesn’t even matter. It’s not like I loved you or anything.”

    “No, of course not.” Ilya tried to smile through a lie of his own, “I didn’t love you either.”

    Summary

    Shane woke up alone, in pain and confused. He remembered the hit, Marlow had sent him down to the ice. He remembered Ilya visting before anyone else. He doesn't undertand what is wrong, why are more tests being ordered. The C test. The test for being a rare Male Carrier.

    He hadnt thought about Carriers since he was in school. Why would he. His mother had done the test when he was a child. It had been negative. So why was he hurting in places he shouldn't. Why was a nice nurse telling him they needed to take him somwhere else for some specialised testing.

    When Shane Hollander took a nasty hit on the ice against Boston, he is woken up to a very serious, very shocking discovery. To something he hadn't believed was possible. He now has to deal with the fallout, decisions have to be made as well as life altering choices. But first he has to work out how to tell his years long situationship - who he is completely and totally in love with - that he managed to get him pregnant, when neither of them was aware it was possible. Shane is terrified, confused and furious all at the same time. All he wants is Ilya, but is Ilya going to still want him now.

    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    A year after mysteriously dropping out of the 2009 draft, Shane Hollander is signed by the Boston Raiders, right behind Ilya Rozanov. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston — but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.
