Summary
“English is… is not first language,” the woman said quietly. Her accent was thick, and unmistakably Russian.
“Oh, sorry! I’m speaking too fast, aren’t I? Sorry,” she took a breath, and held out her hand. “I’m Yuna,” she repeated. The woman took her hand quickly, her hands bony and delicate.
“Irina,” she replied, before gesturing for Yuna to sit with her. Quickly, Yuna did. “Sorry, I have not been in Canada long.”
“No problem at all; welcome to Canada! Is that your boy?” Yuna asked, gesturing over to the child that had similar hair to Irina, which was poking out from under his helmet. He was taller than Shane, though his little hockey outfit still seemed to still dwarf him. He had a serious look on his face, but his eyes were light as he watched the other boys play. He was tapping his stick on the ice, clearly itching to get into the game.
“Ah, yes,” Irina nodded, taking a few seconds to translate the question, “Ilyusha.” Irina looked over at her son, a small smile on her face. “Is my Ilya.”
Or: Ilya and Irina move to Canada for a fresh start when he is six years old. He meets Shane Hollander at ice hockey practice, and they grow up together (and of course, fall in love).

Summary
Shane’s good at his job.
Really, he is.
Five and a half years at Allocare and he’s learned to talk the talk and walk the walk. He’s good. His team lead tells him he’s going to make that promotion this year, actually - managing accounts is easy, and he’s got a rhythm now.
Ilya Rozanov, on the other hand, isn’t easy. Shane’s pretty sure he’s come straight from hell itself if he’s honest - now there’s only one thing standing between Shane and the promotion he’s gunning for, and it’s his brand new, 6’3 Russian client with no regards for professional boundaries.
He has a good mouth, though.

Summary
Middle-aged Ilya Rozanov had never touched a man in his life. From his adolescence, he had been groomed to take on an executive position at his father's multi-million dollar media conglomerate.
Ilya firmly believed that his abstinence from homosexuality played a significant role in his success—for not once had he fallen from his father’s good graces. Or, broken one of the board of directors's conservative values.
Everything changed in 2012 when Ilya hired a fearless young man as his Vice President of Engineering: Shane Hollander.
And how could Ilya have known that he had hired an angel in disguise? His keeper? His siren song. His reckoner.
or
Alternate Universe where a forty-something year old Ilya has never indulged his same-sex desires. Two and a half years ago he hired the brilliant and promiscuous Shane Hollander—who just so happens to be nearly twenty years his junior. Ilya privately finds him to be oh-so-irresistible.

Summary
“Oh my god,” Hollander squeaks suddenly.
Ilya freezes. “…What.”
Hollander is staring downward. “Are you hard?” His voice is higher, not like the monotone that he's gotten used to.
Ilya instinctively steps back and glances down. Fuck. Yes. Very. He exhales heavily. This is unfortunate. He’s not mortified—he’s never been ashamed of his sex drive—but this situation could easily become awkward and borderline predatory.
***
Or, Ilya Rozanov is a legend, one of the greats of hockey, and the new head coach of the Boston Raiders, and his life is derailed by Shane Hollander, the 19-year-old genius rookie from Montreal.
