    Summary

    Shane Hollander can handle twenty thousand screaming fans, high-stakes games, and the kind of pressure that never really lets up.

    He cannot, however, handle preschool drop-off.

    Fortunately, Teacher Ilya can.

    (It involves a stuffed bunny, a city with no mayor, and maybe something more.)

    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is Canada’s golden boy of hockey — disciplined, media-trained, and permanently scheduled down to the minute.

    So when his parents surprise him with a “relaxing” vacation at a Texas dude ranch, he’s less than thrilled.

    Dust. Cattle. Sweltering heat.

    And then there’s Ilya Rozanov — ranch hand and all around horse/cattle/dog whisperer.

    Somewhere between mending fences, learning to ride, and getting thoroughly outmatched by a man in cowboy boots, Shane discovers that maybe there’s more to life than hockey.

    And maybe falling in love was never part of the plan — but Texas heat does strange things to a man.
