Summary
“Is that really why you're single? You're afraid you'd let your partner down?”
Ilya took a sip and tried to battle the urge to be honest, but it was useless. He had developed an Achilles heel, and it came with beautiful brown eyes that were currently piercing straight through his soul.
“I think I am single because I have fun being single,” Ilya started with the easier part of his answer, and he saw Shane nod. That part was expected.
Ilya took a shaky breath before he admitted the rest. “And I have not met anyone that I wanted to be with, enough. One time, maybe. But was not possible.”
***
Shane and Ilya stop hooking up during their rookie season after their secret is almost exposed. Six years later, Scott Hunter comes out and changes everything. Ilya and Shane decide to forge an unlikely friendship as they navigate the league, coming out, and Scott Hunter's annoying queer group chat.
And they accidentally fall in love, obviously.

Summary
"You're disappointed in me," Ilya says when the silence drags on too long.
It snaps Irina out of her thoughts. No, she wants to say, you're my perfect boy, though she knows she shouldn't. She can't bring herself to say yes either. "You're my son," Irina says. "I love you."
"I'm sorry, Mama," he says, voice small, smaller than Irina has heard in years. He sounds like a child again, five and besieged by nightmares of a snowstorm, begging for reassurances than their house won't be buried under an insurmountable blanket of white, that she would find him and hold him even if it was.
"It's not my apology to accept, Ilyusha," she says instead.
(Irina Rozanova lives! It doesn't fix Ilya.)

Summary
Shane Hollander is a sports nutritionist who once had aspirations to play in the NHL until an injury ended those dreams forever.
Ilya Rozanov is the captain and star center of the Boston Bears-and Shane's celebrity crush.
So what happens when the Bears need a new team nutritionist and Shane quickly learns that the Russian Menace is so much hotter in person but is also one of the kindest people Shane has ever met?
(And so what if he has the eating habits of a raccoon digging through a dumpster?)

Summary
Ilya's heart stuttered at the last clip. A video of hands toasting beer bottles. The camera rose and panned the hotel bar, swinging to Harris’s boyfriend and…Shane Hollander. Shane Hollander, in the same light blue shirt that Ilya had seen dashing around a street corner a few hours ago. Shane Hollander, a little rumpled, adorably jet-lagged, drinking at a hotel bar that Harris had conveniently tagged. Ilya knew, he just knew what he'd find when he clicked on the location. The back of his neck was buzzing, a bizarre intuition thrumming in him.
The location opened, and Ilya had to bite back a laugh. Shane Hollander was in Hanoi, only a few minutes away from him.
