    Summary

    When he was seven years old, Shane Hollander was briefly lost at an airport. Luckily, the kindness of a stranger ensured he made it back to his parents safely, putting an end to a terrifying three hours for the Hollanders. It takes twenty years (and one heated rivalry) for Shane to learn the name of his rescuer. It takes twenty years for Ilya to learn his wish had already come true.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Beautiful and heart-wrenching but so warm and loving

    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are solid.

    Married. Stable. Established. The NHL’s favorite “we didn’t see that coming” love story turned domestic success.

    They have a house. A dog that likes Ilya better. A shared calendar that Shane actually uses.

    They’ve learned how to grocery shop without arguing about brands of pasta.

    They are, objectively, fine.

    Which is precisely the problem.

    Somewhere between sponsorship shoots, playoff runs, and arguing over whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, the fire that once burned hot enough to survive secrecy and rivalry has… softened. Not gone. Not broken. Just familiar.
    Comfortable. Predictable.

    When a league marketing campaign crowns them “Hockey’s Ultimate Love Story” and assigns a documentary crew to follow them around for the season, Shane jokingly tells Ilya:
    “Guess you’re going to have to fall in love with me again on camera.”

    Ilya smirks. “Please. I could make you fall in love with me again in one week.”

    It’s a joke.

    Until it becomes a challenge.

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    Booker meets Nile while she is still mortal. It changes things.

    Alternately:

    [“Dude, you gotta help me out here,” she said again, “are you…en vie?”

    The question made him laugh, which was a terrible idea. He breathed through the sudden roil of nausea and finally looked at the very determined Good Samaritan who had resolved not to leave him in peace.

    “I am not dead,” Booker informed her gravely, “not yet.”]

    Summary

    It’s an accident.

    Okay—that’s a lie. One doesn’t go about selling pictures of their junk on the internet accidentally. But it wasn’t supposed to be real. It was a stupid little bet, and actually, it’s all Mary Jane’s fault.
