    Summary

    In a world where homophobia and queer fear doesn't exist, in a world where love can happen out in the open for anyone and everyone, Shane Hollander is still stubbornly single. As the Captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he insists he's too focused on hockey and his career for a relationship, when in reality, old fears of being seen as "the hockey weirdo" keep him from unmasking.

    That is, until Ilya Rozanov enters his life. The newly single Captain of the Ottawa Centaurs, after a decade-long relationship ends amicably, is now interested in the one man who won't give him the time of day.

    So when Shane, while on National Television, tells Ilya he'll have to "impress him" to earn that first date, Ilya takes it as the greatest challenge of his life. What follows is a whirlwind of grand romantic gestures, public flirting, chirping (flirting) on the ice, social media ploys and and ever escalating spectacle. All while the NHL, their friends, their family, their teams, and fans across the continent watch, cheer, and place bets on when Shane will finally say yes.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is a junior at McGill University, he is smart, he has friends, he had a loving family and everything a young man could ever dream of. Except Shane Hollander is a virgin and he is sick of that, so his friend Rose takes matters into her own hands and indirectly introduces him to Ilya Rozanov, a student that was transfered from Russia and is currently in danger of failing his English exam.

    Now clearly, exchanging English knowledge for sex experience sounds like a good deal, right?

    Summary

    Eight years ago, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were hockey’s biggest rivals -and each other’s biggest secret.

    After the tuna meltdown in Boston, everything fell apart, they went their separate ways. No closure. No explanations. Just eight years of silence.

    Now, fate throws them back together at an international hockey camp in Kingston.

    Ilya has built a new life in Moscow. Shane has built one of his own. They’re older, supposedly wiser, and have every reason to leave the past where it belongs.

    Except old feelings don’t disappear just because you refuse to talk about them.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov’s lives revolved around risk.

    Shane built a life around studying it, learning it, and trying to defeat it after an unexpected accident shattered his dreams. Ilya flirted with it, danced around it, but kept it at arm’s length, and never allowed it to penetrate his hardened exterior.

    At 17, they were on the precipice of a future forever in each other’s orbit until fate, cruelty and circumstance snatched it all away from them. At 29, they found themselves in each other’s lives again.

    This time, they could decide what risks were the ones worth taking.
