    Summary

    “You shouldn’t be smoking here.” Shane can’t help turning on his “Captain” voice.

    The man’s eyes flick up to Shane’s face. And holy shit he’s hot. Curling blonde hair, flashing eyes, and a jawline that could cut glass. He’s also clearly pissed off. He takes another drag from the cigarette and blows smoke from the side of his mouth, away from Shane and the entrance.

    Or
    Irina and Ilya Rozanov leave Moscow when he’s 13 and move to Boston. Ilya stops playing hockey and becomes a doctor of emergency medicine.

    Shane Hollander was the number one draft pick and is now the Captain of the Boston Bears.

    One night, they meet.

    Summary

    “Hollander, what are you doing at my house?”

    “It’s an apartment.” Shane replied abruptly, causing Ilya to raise an eyebrow in amusement. “I mean, uh, I’m sorry, do you live here?”

    “Yes. I just moved in. Why?”

    Shane shifted nervously on his feet, “I own it. The apartment, I mean.”

    Ilya grinned. “Ah, I see. What brings you to my door, Mr. Landlord?”

    OR

    Shane and Ilya were never more than heated rivals in the NHL. In 2017, Ilya suffered a career-ending injury, and two years later, he moved to Montreal for a coaching job. He unknowingly rents out Shane’s apartment, and the heat of their former rivalry transforms into love as they discover new parts of each other.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander loves his daughter Hanako more than words can say, but she’s a sensitive kid, and he’s tied up in knots about her switching schools for their big move to Ottawa. He soon realizes that she has a guardian angel watching over her in the form of her first-grade teacher. That angel begins to interest Shane far too much for his own good.

    Ilya Rozanov has made himself a new home outside Russia, and found the joy of his life in teaching. There's no time to face his fears when his days are filled by craft glue, storybooks, and healing boo-boos. That plan is about to get flipped on its head by the new little girl in his class who won’t stop crying — or rather, by her incredibly charming father who Ilya can’t manage to get out of his head.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander never got that concussion, and Ilya Rozanov breaks up with him. Shortly after, Shane suffers a career ending injury. They don’t speak again.

    Of course, stories don’t end like that. At least not theirs. When Shane adopts a little girl with familiar curls and deep blue eyes, Shane writes letters to Ilya, imagining he was with him, raising the girl together.

    Movers get things mixed up. Letters get sent. And after 4 years of no contact, Ilya moves to Ottawa to see Shane again. The only question is—will Shane let him in? Or is he still just as scared as he was in 2017?

    Summary

    Previously titled: Like Someone in Love

    The whole time, Shane felt like he wouldn’t be too far behind Hayden. Their lives were so intertwined and on such similar paths. But that was five years ago, and here Shane was. Alone on New Years Eve at 9pm in a quiet office reading a trial transcript from a potential referral.

    He wasn’t sure what he had imagined his thirties would look like when he was younger. That was a lie. He did know. The image in his head was, and still is the same. A kiss goodbye in the morning, a small hug after work and while flipping pancakes, a stubbled cheek against his chest at night, small laughs before bed… The image is a blur of quiet moments interlocked with another.

    Shane didn’t know yet, but a last minute decision made in a moment of his deepest loneliness would move him closer to the life he had quietly resigned himself to never having.


    Strangers in the night
    Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night
    Up to the moment when we said our first "Hello"
    Little did we know, love was just a glance away
    A warm embracing dance away
