    Summary

    Shane could hear the crowd, loud as always in their home barn. It felt electric tonight. He didn't usually let the emotions of the occasion affect him, but after 22 years in the MLH, having accomplished everything he could do as a professional, tonight’s send-off was too much to push all the way down into that small compartment where he could hide all he felt.

    But Ilya–Shane felt physical pain in his chest every time he allowed himself to think his name. Their careers still forever tied together until Ilya’s retirement a few years ago. In the quietest of times, Shane could admit he shouldn’t have felt lonely at the top because Ilya was always right there with him. Sometimes he took solace in that, sometimes it brought pain so blinding he couldn’t breathe.

    or

    Shane Hollander retires from the MLH a few seasons after Ilya. They haven't actually spoken since the day Shane left in Boston. When Ilya is invited to participate in Shane's retirement ceremony, will they take the opportunity to confront the feelings they have long buried but kept sacred or are they still just two stars passing in the night?

    Summary

    Shane and Ilya have done everything right, with years of waiting, planning, and hoping. After too many almosts and not-quites, they go to one more adoption event with no expectations.

    But one quiet conversation—and one perfect baby—turn “maybe” into something a lot more dangerous: hope.

    And hope, it turns out, has a way of asking for more than they expected.

    (AKA: hurt/comfort, so much yearning, accidental family, angst with a payoff, and yes—a hard-won happy ending)

    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

    Summary

    When NHL superstar Ilya Rozanov and his husband Shane Hollander host their annual Game Changers hockey camp, they expect a week of routine drills and youth mentorship—until a quiet fourteen-year-old named Marcus pulls off Ilya’s signature move and scores back-to-back goals on a Stanley Cup-winning goalie. Astonished by the boy’s raw, untamed talent, Ilya and Shane dig deeper, only to discover that Marcus is trapped in a rigid foster system with a history of severe abuse. Moved by the kid’s resilience and driven by an overwhelming desire to give him the future he deserves, the hockey power couple takes an unexpected leap to welcome Marcus and his younger brother into their lives and home. As the story unfolds, Marcus faces the steep, emotional journey of healing from his past, learning to trust, and finding his place in a loving family. With Ilya and Shane standing firmly in his corner, Marcus gradually overcomes his trauma and transforms his raw potential into a extraordinary career—ultimately blazing his own path to becoming a professional hockey player.
