Summary
An untranslatable Russian word - Vladimir Nabokov describes it best: "No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pinning, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui boredom."
***
Irina Rozanov missed Russia. The cold bit her skin with an addicting kind of pain, one that was dulled by cigarettes and sharpened again with hunger pains as her father, Andrei Rozanov, again lost his money to coke. Canada was fine, it was cold, but a different kind of cold, one that didn't bite as hard. Her Uncles Shane and Ilya were always kind and made sure there was food on the table for her after her dreaded Hockey practice with that bitch Ruby Pike. Irina was grateful, but she wished she was happier.

Summary
And so Shane steps into the Voyageurs' locker room, Luca on his heels, leaving the door open just a crack so Ilya and the others can hear what's going on.
The room goes quiet immediately, all faces turning to Shane in shock.
Hayden's the first to react, scrambling up from his stall, eyes wide. "Shane? What's going on?"
"I just wanted to see if any of you were willing to talk? So quiet on the ice today. I thought you'd have things to say to me, all things considered." Shane sweeps his gaze over his former team, uses his disappointed-Captain-voice and feels a smidge of smugness when it clearly hits them as it always has. "So say them to my fucking face, not behind my back."

Summary
Team Canada is undefeated, the Olympic Village is buzzing, and Shane Hollander just wants to focus on hockey.
Unfortunately, his husband has discovered capitalism for himself.
When the Olympic Committee announces a condom shortage across the Village, Shane assumes it’s just another chaotic headline in an already surreal tournament. What he does not expect is to discover that Ilya Rozanov has been quietly selling their unused “complimentary health supplies” to stressed-out rookies and possibly half the international athletes...for five euros each.
+ additional drawing!

Summary
“This is Ilya. Ilya Rez-Ruz…”
“Rozanov”, The boy said. Shane was surprised by the strange accent and deep voice of a boy his age.
“Yes. Ilya Rozanov. He is your age, and he comes all the way from Russia. He doesn’t really know a lot of English, so Cooper and I have thought that it would be very helpful for both of you to be together. You can help him with the language, and, believe me, he can teach you a lot from hockey. He’s European; they do things differently there. Yes?”or; Shane and Ilya go to the same hockey summer camp every year. How much can their relationship change during those 5 years?

Summary
Book 5 in the Breakaway series featuring:
Dev— a blueliner rookie with a traumatic past living with Alex and Eli for his first season on the Hounds’ roster, and Theo—Alex’s half-brother who shows up seeking sanctuary after being inhospitably booted from his college/trust fund when his parents find out he’s trans.
After an antagonistic introduction, Theo and Dev realize they may have more in common than they initially thought (and maybe they should kiss about it??), but they’ll have to engage in a “friends with benefits” agreement full of mutual pining for a good long while before admitting anything like feelings—all while dealing with hockey-related subterfuge, blackmail, and parents who probably shouldn’t be.
