Summary
Shane Hollander is inexperienced when it comes to dating men. He's been out for a while and wants to build his confidence, so he meets up with Ilya, an escort, per a friend's recommendation. Ilya is an excellent teacher and all the things Shane could want in a man, but this is Ilya's job. Shane needs to decide what to do about the feelings he has for Ilya; stick things out and ultimately get his heart broken or break it off now before he gets in too deep.

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?
