Summary
Ilya Rozanov is many things—a pain in Shane Hollander’s ass, hockey’s biggest playboy, a better chirper in his second language than most people are in their first, the only player who can challenge Shane for the title of “best of his generation.” But when Shane and Ilya get stuck next to each other on a long-delayed flight to the MLH Awards, Shane realizes something else about him: Ilya Rozanov is hot.
***
Shane and Ilya never hooked up at the CCM shoot. Seven years later, they end up on the same flight from New York City to Las Vegas.

Summary
23 years ago, during a long hot summer in Italy, Shane Hollander fell in love for the first and only time in his life. Now, he and his family are heading back to their Italian summer home for one last gathering. Recently retired from the NHL, learning to live with the teenaged son he found out about six months ago, and carting around his father's ashes because his mother has nightmares about losing them in baggage check, Shane is struggling to find his footing in a post-hockey life he never imagined. And he's definitely not interested in romance or a relationship.
Which is too bad, because Ilya Rozanov has a plane ticket to Italy, his therapist's approval, and one mission: finally tell Shane Hollander how he feels about him.
A story of first loves and second chances, heartbreak and healing, and getting your groove back.

Summary
One side of his brain is going: this is insane, don't do this, just stay in this room, what can he do? Whether you like it or not, he's hurt you, and chances are you've hurt him too, because you can't read a situation for shit, so what are we trying to do here? Get some fucking sleep instead.
The other side of his brain is going: He's hurt you, and you've probably hurt him too, and what if this is your only chance to talk about it? What if Paris makes the difference?
Five months after Sochi, Shane's set to play a charity hockey game in Paris. So is Ilya.
They run into each other in the lobby of their hotel the night before. Twelve hours stretch out in front of them, and Ilya suggests something different: no phones, no expectations, no past, no hockey. Just the city, and whatever they can be when nobody else is watching.
It's obviously a terrible idea, but Shane says yes, anyway.

Summary
Canada’s golden boy Shane Hollander gets drafted to the Ottawa Centaurs and ends up sharing an apartment - and way too much tension - with his captain, Ilya Rozanov. A private contract keeps their arrangement “simple,” but jealousy, soft moments, and one kiss he can’t forget makes pretending impossible. On the ice they’re electric, but off it, they’re one breath away from breaking.
