    Summary

    “He works nights as an exotic dancer.”

    Something in Ilya goes still. His jaw tightens, brows raised.

    “Exotic dancer,” he repeats, voice flat.

    He imagines Shane’s body. Controlled, precise, graceful even in a dirty nightclub. The idea of this soft and beautiful boy dancing for strangers, his body being touched by their greedy eyes, makes something dark curl in Ilya’s chest.

    Summary

    “Rozanov needs a place to stay. His visa won’t allow him to go home to Russia over the break, and we don’t have the cash to put him in a hotel.”

    Did the Harvard dorms completely shut down over the winter break? What about the dining hall? Shane supposed he didn’t really know. He’d never stuck around to find out, when he was younger. 

    “Okay?” 

    Coach raised his eyebrows. “So, he’s staying with you.” 

    Shane’s eyes went wide. 

    “What?” 

    “Come on, Captain,” Wiebe looked down his nose at Shane. “Try not to look too thrilled.”

    or, Shane's a senior captain with an empty house over winter break. and Ilya's the freshman who will be crashing his Christmas.

    "You have to come to the locker room. Now."

    Shane frowns. Holds up his notebook. "I'm busy."

    "Forget that, man. It's all over the news. Ilya Rozanov just defected."

    Summary

    Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”

    “Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.

    “No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”

    “Go fuck yourself.”

    Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.

    And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

    Summary

    After Ilya lost his father in 2017, he buried himself in chasing the Stanley Cup and trying to prove himself to ghosts, even at the expense of the love of his life. After 4 of the most successful consecutive seasons he's ever had in his career, Ilya still knows something is missing in his life and transfers to the Ottawa Centaurs. He tells himself he transferred teams because he was looking for a challenge. He also tells himself it has nothing to do with a certain Montreal player within driving distance. He is a very bad liar.

    Shane struggled to pick up the pieces after the love of his life broke his heart and buried himself in the sport they both loved. When he found out he was pregnant four months after Ilya Rozanov told him that their relationship was over, Shane put everything into rebuilding his life and himself. Now he's a solo parent drowning under the guilt of not being able to actually parent.

    One chance encounter changes causes cracks in the surface of their carefully controlled lives, and if they’re not careful it will shatter them both entirely.
