   Summary

   Everything was going according to plan - until it wasn’t. Shane and Ilya were looking forward to spending their time relaxing at the cottage before the start of the Irina Foundations inaugural hockey camps.

   Sure, they still had to hide their relationship. But at least they could be seen together. Or they could have, until Shane encounters an unwelcome visitor who throws a wrench into all their carefully laid plans and he’s forced to blow up his entire life to keep the people he loves safe, leaving Ilya confused and alone.
