    Summary

    Rose Landry has been Shane Hollander's best friend, roommate, and beard for years. The two captains of the Montreal Metros and the Montreal Victoire are the royal couple of hockey. Of course, none of it is real, and with Shane and Ilya's upcoming wedding in the summer of 2018 they're in the home stretch.

    Ilya is Svetlana Vetrova's best friend. He's her person. She would do anything for him. Even if "anything" just means letting media run wild with the idea that the Boston hockey captains are similarly entangled. Svetlana has never had a need to text Rose, or call her, even if they have each other's numbers.

    Until something threatens to reveal both their boys' secret, and they devise a plan. Maybe they're much more alike than they think...
