Summary
This book is complete at 160,000 words. It's the second in my series, Out in the Open. The first is After the Long Game (also complete).
Reading them in order works better, since this one picks up where After the Long Game ends — but if you'd rather start here, all you need to know is that Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are married and playing on the same team.
Shane is thirty-one years old, playing the best hockey of his life, and about to start his second season alongside his husband. He has three Stanley Cups and he wants a fourth.
Ilya is also thirty-one, and he is now out of the darkness that engulfed him. He is captain, he is happy, and he has taken an interest in construction.
Shane and Ilya have a house, a good dog, a cottage on a lake, and a marriage that is the best thing either of them has ever had. Nobody is hiding anything from anybody. Nobody is going home alone.
And then something happens that neither of them has any way to prepare for, and that only one of them can feel.
