    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has learned that nothing is free--not shelter, not food, not kindness. Every favor comes with a price, and his body is the only currency he has. When a brutal night on the streets of Montreal puts him in the path of Shane Hollander, a wealthy stranger who refuses payment for his help, Ilya doesn't trust it. He trusts transactions. He trusts survival. Shane Hollander has spent his life being careful--about his image, his future, and the expectations attached to his last name. As the heir to a powerful corporation, there is no room in his world for scandal, much less for falling in love with someone society would rather pretend doesn't exist. As Shane and Ilya are drawn together, what begins as guarded proximity turns into something neither of them can afford. Ilya and Shane must decide whether love is worth the cost--and whether they're willing to risk everything for it.

    Summary

    Ilya thought he could do this alone: defect from Russia, raise his brother's child, play professional hockey, survive the hits that come every game from players paid to destroy his career. He chose the most secure building in the city and tried to be invisible.

    He didn't count on Shane Hollander living next door. Or on his captain figuring out that the brutal checks aren't just hockey—they're targeted. Or on what it would feel like when someone finally insisted on keeping him safe.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander disappears from the NHL at twenty with a career-ending “injury.”

    Four years later, he’s the new assistant coach for the Ottawa Centaurs when Ilya Rozanov signs with the team. His former rival. His secret hookup. The father of his daughter.
    Ilya doesn’t know Lily exists and Shane plans to keep it that way.

    But three-year-olds don’t keep secrets, and neither do pale blue eyes.

    Summary

    They were once the greatest MLH draft prospects in the world - number one and two, in whatever order came to be on the day. But life had other plans, and all it took was a few weeks in ‘09 to see both Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander become nothing more than hypotheticals and statistical what-ifs deep in reddit threads and hockey chatrooms.

    But still, their paths were destined to cross when Ilya took his daughter to her first skating lesson.
