    Summary

    Following an afternoon of sex and tuna melts, Shane goes searching for the explicit rules of what being 'friends with benefits' entails. In his humble opinion, they're nailing it.

    Once friendship is on the table, Shane reconsiders the usefulness and immutability of the public rivalry narrative. Surely the NHL can make just as much money from a bromance as it can from a rivalry?

    A missed call from J.J., a dinner at All-Stars, and an ill-considered mad dash to the airport send Shane's season in a very different direction to the disciplined three-peat he'd been planning back in October.


    "This rivalry thing: it was everyone else who said we hated each other off the ice. There’s no rule that says we have to keep doing that forever.” Shane stared outside, past the blinding billboards and down at the streets below. “It was nice. Hanging out, last time.”

    He knew what it looked like when Rozanov shut down, when he closed himself off and pushed the world away. He’d finish the conversation abruptly, curt, clipped, and retreat. So Shane knew he’d won when Rozanov finally answered with: “Are we six years old, Hollander? Asking if I want to play in sandbox with you?"

    Summary

    Once upon a time, Ilya had put a pretty girl in the passenger seat of his Porsche and fingered her while he pushed 120 down the interstate. He’d kissed drunk boys in seedy European clubs. He’d been impossibly hot, impossibly cool.

    Moreover, he was impossibly ill-prepared for the dizzying experience of being Shane Hollander’s boyfriend. Because Shane was turning out to be a really good boyfriend, the kind that quietly handled expensive restaurant checks, the kind that made soup when he was sick and held open his coat for him.

    Ilya basically had no choice but to get hard about it.

    Or: a 5+1 of Ilya versus Shane’s boyfriendisms, told over the years.

    Summary

    “For today,” Ilya offers slowly. “We can pretend.”
    “Pretend?”
    “For today,” Ilya repeats, standing and walking over to where Shane is standing with Ilya’s shirt in one hand. He takes the black cloth gently and places a warm hand on Shane’s bare shoulder, thumb rubbing back and forth and soothing Shane’s frayed nerves. They could. They could pretend for today and then go back to their normal routine when they part ways before the game tomorrow. It’ll hurt like hell when they do, but…
    “Ok,” Shane breathes. “Let’s pretend. For today.”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is one of the best search and rescue specialists in North America. He doesn't do private clients. He doesn't do rich adrenaline junkies with camera crews and a death wish. He does, apparently, do forty thousand dollars when his parents need it badly enough. One week on Karanov's summit should be simple. Assess the snowpack, make the call, go home. Then the storm rolls in, the helicopter can't fly, and Shane is stuck in an eleven by nine foot ranger station with Ilya Rozanov — Olympic gold medalist, professional daredevil, and the most infuriating man Shane has ever met.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander refuses to show up to Rose Landry’s wedding alone after having his heart broken by the man-of-honour.

    Enter Ilya Rozanov, charming date-for-hire and possibly the hottest man Shane has ever seen. Shane needs him to play the perfect boyfriend for just one weekend.

    Trouble is, Ilya may be a little too good at the job.

    or: Ilya is worth every cent but won’t accept any money and Shane is about to become the biggest cliché of all time (who falls for the guy they hired to be their boyfriend?).
