    Summary

    “How can Montreal be snowed in?” Ilya asks. “They are not ready for winter?”

    “It’s Montreal, man,” Marleau snickers, like that's an explanation.

    Jane- 9:44 a.m.- Look on the bright side. If you’re stuck another day, you can come back here.

    ________

    After Ilya leaves Shane’s apartment for the first time, he knows he’s on thin ice and at risk of falling into more serious feelings. He’s ready to put distance back between them.

    A Montreal blizzard has other ideas.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander doesn’t do cheat days.
    Not with his training. Not with his diet. Not with his life.
    Then a ridiculously attractive Russian-Italian chef in Milano force-feeds him the best ravioli he’s ever had and calls him a good boy and things spiral from there.
    Between Olympic pressure, impossible expectations, and a connection neither of them is ready to name, Shane finds himself unraveling in ways he doesn’t understand.

    Summary

    Loosely inspired by Dirty Dancing.

    It's the summer of 2013. Shane Hollander has just graduated from McGill, and his mother is breathing down his neck, hoping he'll sign with the Montreal Voyageurs. He's always been her good, dutiful son, and much as he wants to sign with another team, he can't see that changing now.

    Good thing Ilya Rozanov teaches skating lessons at the resort the Hollanders will be staying at all summer.

    Summary

    His shirt, his shirt was—

    “You can’t—“ Shane blurted, “you can’t—you’re not supposed to wear a see-through shirt to Wimbledon. There’s a dress code. There are rules. Like, actual rules that actual people follow.”

    The man turned, his eyes sweeping over Shane’s face, down his chest, to the hands clutching the gift bag in his lap.

    Shane’s skin prickled. God, it was so hot out here.

    “Is not see-through.”

    Not see-through? Who was this guy kidding, with his barely-there shirt, tight pants, wild curls, and deep voice?

    Maybe this guy didn’t own a mirror.

    “What do you mean it’s not see-through? It’s obviously transparent. A blind man would notice.”

    “Is not transparent. No blind men here to ask.”

    Shane’s mouth dropped open. He looked away, squaring his shoulders and sitting up straight. Just his luck to be seated next to a lunatic.

    ***

    Shane’s mom said it would be fun, to sit next to a Swedish princess.
    What Shane got instead was a Prince with a pinkie ring, a nipple piercing, and zero respect for the Wimbledon dress code.

    Summary

    “You know,” Shane says quietly, “you do look really good like that.”

    “Like what exactly?” he laughs, toying with him.

    “Carrying her like that. You look very. . . dad.”

    Ilya snorts. “I do not know what that means.”

    “It means hot.”
