Summary
Shane Hollander has spent years building a quiet, careful life for himself and his daughter. He just focuses on work, parenting, and keeping Yuki safe in a world that has not always been kind to omegas like himself. Everything changes the moment Yuki slips away from him at a crowded public event and is found in the arms of star hockey player Ilya Rozanov, who handles her with a gentleness that leaves Shane unexpectedly unsteady.
What should have been a brief, awkward encounter becomes something far more complicated. Yuki adores Ilya on sight, and Ilya keeps showing up, offering small kindnesses, sending messages that turn into late-night conversations, and slipping into Shane's life with a warmth that feels dangerously easy.
Shane, who promised himself he would never rely on a stranger, let alone an alpha, finds himself drawn to the one man he should not want.

Summary
Before him stands a girl, not older than eighteen. Probably a lot younger. She carries a cello case on her back, a backpack on her front and is flanked by two massive suitcases. She looks like a December in 2008. Like the World Junior Hockey Championships and like a cigarette not catching fire on a parking lot in Saskatchewan.
Almost six years after the Ottawa Centaurs' plane crashed and Shane lost the love of his life, he opens the door of their home to Ilya's niece asking for a place to stay.

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
Just one more day.
That was Shane's lifeline this season. He's always thrived under pressure, but this was different. This was pressure meant to break the stone, not make the diamond. Every sharp glare, every whispered slur, every avoidable check into the boards. He could feel the weight of them deep in his heart. Just one more day, and it'll happen. You'll break. It will be over. He tried not to think about how much relief he felt and what that said about him.
OR: Shane built the Voyageurs from the ground up, but when his secret is revealed, he thinks it might be what kills him.
