    Summary

    Shane Hollander only meant to attend a few hockey games — a small act of rebellion against the boyfriend who controlled every part of his life. But that night changes everything. The arena becomes a refuge, Rose becomes a friend, and the Montreal Metros become the first place he’s felt safe in years.

    No one knows he’s living with domestic violence.
    No one knows he’s planning to run.
    No one knows how much he’s breaking.

    And no one expects him to fall for Ilya Rozanov — the loud, brilliant, closeted Russian winger recently traded under suspicious circumstances.

    Ilya has secrets he can’t share, a past he can’t escape, and feelings he doesn’t know how to handle.

    Shane is learning how to live again.
    Ilya is learning how to feel again.
    Both are learning how to trust.

    But when the truth about their pasts threatens to surface, they’ll have to decide whether they can face it together — or lose each other trying.

    ----------------------------------------

    Or: A story about healing, found family, and the terrifying, beautiful risk of choosing love after surviving what was meant to break you.

    Summary

    Hayden has loved Shane Hollander for years, not romantically, not in ways that crossed lines, but in the steady, unshakeable way best friends do. Shane was there for the life Hayden built with Jackie, there when everything fell apart, and there afterward, when grief made even breathing feel like work.

    Ilya Rozanov has always been part of that orbit too: Shane’s husband, sharp-tongued and observant, loving in ways that are louder and fiercer than Hayden ever expected to need. Where Shane offers quiet constancy, Ilya offers insistence, on joy, on honesty, on not disappearing into loss.

    What begins as shared responsibility, school pickups, late nights, standing in kitchens that still remember Jackie, becomes something more fragile and more deliberate. No one is trying to replace what Hayden lost. Jackie’s love remains woven into their lives, into the children they are raising together. But grief shifts, and the space it leaves behind makes room for something new.

    Together, Shane, Ilya, and Hayden learn that love can expand without erasing the past. That family can be chosen, reshaped, and rebuilt. And that sometimes the deepest connections are the ones that have been there all along waiting to be named.

    Summary

    “I have a surprise for you all, if you’ve been good boys and girls.” Ariana gestured across the lawn, where pink X-shaped crosses now dotted the landscape. Handcuffs dangled from the top of each.
    “Two, if we’re being technical. Islanders, please welcome our new bombshells! They will be giving you a very warm welcome. If you’re chosen, that is. Have fun…”

    Shane's wrists pulled against his restraints, heart thudding. A finger ran over his lips, shushing him. Then two hands appeared, tracing his body, warm and firm over his exposed skin. Shane panted, dizzy and delirious. Through the haze, he started smiling. He was straight. He was actually straight. Irrefutably hard as hell for some sexy new bombshell.

    A hand traced Shane’s jaw, almost tender, and their hips pressed together again for just a moment. Shane’s mind stuttered, his own hardness meeting…something else.
    Warm breath wafted into his ear. “I will give you some time to ah, calm down, yes?”
    Shane jerked back, hitting his head against the cross with a loud curse.
    The voice was Russian. Vaguely familiar. And unmistakably male.
