    Summary

    A wife and three kids upstairs. A minivan in the garage. Wedding photos nailed in wooden frames on the wall, crayon drawings tacked under magnets on the fridge— but it doesn't matter. Shane's dropping to his knees saying Yes, Captain anyway: the hush of the living room at midnight ringing in his ears.

    His rookie season, Shane Hollander's billeted by the captain of the Montreal Metros.

    Summary

    Team management e-mails him early in the afternoon, but it’s just after helping Jackie feed Ruby and Jade dinner, when Hayden has the chance to go to the bedroom and sit against the bed headboard, that he manages to see and read it. The language is polite but friendly, and the person writing it actually identifies herself as the lady from the team’s media relationship, Nathaly, which immediately makes the exchange feel more real. She calls Hayden by his first name too, which also helps. Hayden has read some official communication before, but they addressed the team as a whole, so he knows this is different. Nathaly is talking to him to know if there’s any way he might billet for next season.

    ***

    Alternate universe where Hayden was drafted two seasons before Shane and is three years older than him. He's not quite a veteran, but, somehow, he still gets picked by the Metros to house hockey's second coming of christ, Shane Hollander, during his rookie season. Shane never really leaves.

    Summary

    Outside, bugs swarm around the porch light. A half-moon hangs over the dark swath of lake, spider-spun white daubed across the oil-spill surface. That perfect day on the water was less than a week ago. The scabs on Ilya’s ankle haven’t even healed. He knew the rest of their lives would be an uphill battle; he just hoped they could lie in the grass for a little longer.

    There’s a hitch in Shane’s breath, a catch that brings Ilya’s attention back to him. He’s seen the ice tilt, analyzed the offense, and realization freezes across his face.

    The whistle blows. Ilya’s been caught.

    “You don’t want to figure this out,” Shane says finally. “You want him to billet with you.”

    Last season, Ilya broke his jaw. Next season, he'll break from Boston for Ottawa and a shot at making an impossible relationship work. This season, he breaks every promise he’s ever made.

    (aka the sequel to Alligator Bites Never Heal)

    Summary

    The Hollander family had never billeted a hockey player in their home before. That all changed when the Ottawa junior league reached out to Yuna Hollander with an emergency case: a boy from Russia who suddenly needed a Canadian homestay. The boy’s father had not initially planned for him to come to Canada for training, but due to some unforeseen and mysterious circumstance, he’d changed his mind. Now the boy, Ilya Rozanov, was coming to stay with the Hollander family for the hockey season. And no one had bothered to ask Shane Hollander what he thought of this.

    He hated it.

    Summary

    In a quiet Czech village untouched by war, fifteen-year-old Eliška spends her days birdwatching from trees, avoiding the other girls’ gossip, and dodging her brother’s growing anger toward the occupying forces. But when German troops arrive to stay—not pass through—the rhythm of her world collapses. Her family is forced to billet a young soldier, Elias Becker, polite and unreadable, with dark blond hair and a gaze that lingers longer than it should.

    He doesn’t speak Czech. She doesn’t speak German. And yet, something passes between them.

    What begins as silence grows into stolen glances, half-understood words, and the ache of wanting something she doesn’t yet have a name for. As war tightens its grip on the village, Eliška finds herself writing him letters—first in secret, then endlessly, even after he’s gone. Letters she never sends. Letters she never expects to matter.

    Until he returns.

    But he’s no longer the quiet boy on her doorstep. And she’s no longer the girl with a notebook full of birds.

    A slow-burn, bittersweet love story told in fragments, letters, and the spaces war leaves behind.
