Summary
Shane is a hopeless romantic trapped in a hookup culture, desperately wishing a one-night stand would turn into a love story. Ilya is a Russian hockey player on a scholarship, carrying the weight of his family's expectations and a future that feels like a house of cards.
When a mutual friend sets them up, an instant, electric connection sparks - and then sputters. For an entire agonizing year, they orbit each other through house parties, weddings, and chance campus encounters. Every conversation is a minefield of words they don't say; every moment alone is haunted by things they don't do.
Shane, certain his feelings are unrequited, tries to move on. Ilya, terrified of jeopardizing his tightly controlled world, holds himself back. It's a dance of exquisite frustration, where the greatest risk isn't rejection, but finally telling the truth.

Summary
“Wow, this is absolutely stunning.”
“I bet you say that to all the houses.” Ilya teased, shifting past him and moving back to his target: coffee.
Stevie’s laugh was bright, “Sometimes, yes. But that is also one of the perks of the job. Getting to see so many beautiful houses. You had this designed, yes?”
Ilya pushed the button for a flat white before he turned. “Yes. With my partner. He is much more into the whole real estate thing than I.”
At those words, as if summoned, Shane appeared at the top of the stairs, a vibrating Anya at his side.
Or
Ilya gets invited to film a Youtube Video for Architectural Digest for his house in Ottawa and he decides not to hide the fact that someone else also lives here in the off season. He could have warned the camera team beforehand, but that would have taken all the fun out of the reveal.Series

Summary
"Why are you not scared?"
"I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."
"Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.
"Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.
Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."
