    Summary

    What if Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander had the perfect beard?
    Lily-Jane Smith is just a normal girl living her quiet hermit life in a secluded corner of Montreal, running from a past she doesn’t talk about and minding her own business. She livestreams. She freelances. She avoids people.
    Then she befriends her landlord.
    Unfortunately, her landlord is Shane Hollander — NHL golden boy, walking media frenzy, and deeply closeted disaster.
    Now her peaceful routine includes sold-out arenas, terrible stadium poutine, icing bruises after intense games, and pretending to be the loving girlfriend of two hockey superstars while secretly covering for their very intense, very secret relationship with their biggest rival.
    Yes. That rivalry.
    It’s fine. She’s fine. They’re fine.
    It’s just a tiny lavender marriage situation.
    Minor complication: she may or may not have developed a massive crush on her best friend/fake boyfriend’s boyfriend’s teammate — who, for obvious reasons, thinks she’s dating said best friend’s boyfriend.
    Totally normal. Not messy at all.
    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Svetlana’s voice is tense, “Rose suggested I reach out to you. We have an omega here who needs a place to live and I was wondering if you’d be willing to house him.”
    “Me?” Shane blurts out, “Why me?”
    “Because, I believe having a familiar face will help him.”
    “A familiar face?” Shane is even more confused than before, “I mean I know I’m a hockey player-”
    “No,” Svetlana cuts him off. “The omega is a former hockey player, and there’s mention that you two have crossed paths before. Do you remember Ilya Rozanov?”

    -

    Right before the MHL draft, Ilya Rozanov went missing after presenting as an omega. Years later, he turns up at an auction house where he’s rescued after a police raid. However, due to his unpredictable nature, Ilya is sent to live with star hockey player, and former crush, Shane Hollander.

    5. Do not make him an angry kitten by marrying anyone else, or even suggesting it...

    After 7 years, Ilya Rozanov realizes that his feelings have grown beyond his control. What would happen if Ilya chose direct communication vs beating around the bush during the Tuna Meltdown? How would things change if Ilya and Shane had people in their corner from the beginning?

    Summary

    In a world where omegas have few rights and unmated alphas in professional hockey are required by league regulations to be paired with a state cleared omega by age 26, Ilya Rozanov, a Russian alpha with a fiery temper and a disciplinary record, is handed a stack of twelve files and told to pick his omega. To everyone's surprise, he picks the one nobody else would touch: Shane Hollander, twenty-three, a former Montreal Metros defenseman who lied his way through two years of pro hockey on suppressants and forged paperwork before he was outed during an uncontrolled heat. Three years in a state center have left him hollowed out, terrified, and rated a 5 on a temperament scale. Shane has spent those three years bracing for the worst.

    Summary

    When Ilya Rosanov's father discovers his teenage son's secret, his fury leads to a devastating outcome: Ilya forced into a life of suffering and abuse.

    Instead of achieving his dream of playing in the MLH, Ilya ends up a sex worker in Montreal, just trying to survive.

    There, he encounters Shane Hollander, the "golden boy" of hockey, a once in a generation talent who secretly struggles with the isolation of success.

    Can these two men navigate their vastly different worlds? Will lies and secrecy catch up to them, or will they find a way to come together against the odds?
