    Summary

    Shane Hollander is Canada’s golden boy of hockey — disciplined, media-trained, and permanently scheduled down to the minute.

    So when his parents surprise him with a “relaxing” vacation at a Texas dude ranch, he’s less than thrilled.

    Dust. Cattle. Sweltering heat.

    And then there’s Ilya Rozanov — ranch hand and all around horse/cattle/dog whisperer.

    Somewhere between mending fences, learning to ride, and getting thoroughly outmatched by a man in cowboy boots, Shane discovers that maybe there’s more to life than hockey.

    And maybe falling in love was never part of the plan — but Texas heat does strange things to a man.

    Summary

    “What were you doing?”

    “Oh.” A sweet flush colours Shane’s freckled cheeks, and his fingers twitch where they’re still resting on Ilya’s back. “I was just tracing your moles.”

    Ilya is going to die. His heart is actually going to give out on him because of this sweet, perfect man who he loves more than he knows what to do with. Who he loves more than anything in this entire world.

    Summary

    Shane shifts on their bed as he types out, You have a game on Tuesday. You need to sleep.

    Ilya: so help me

    Shane groans. He can picture Ilya’s knowing little smirk, his chiseled face awash in his phone’s glow. As far as Shane knows, the buses don’t have beds, so Ilya’s sitting in a seat. Surrounded by their teammates.

    You might get caught, Shane argues feebly.

    like i give a fuck? comes the inevitable reply. i havent kissed you in a week. i am dying hollander ok. dying. can you live with that? knowing i died because you did not want to sext your husband?

    Beside himself, Shane smiles while he types. Yes.

    Or: Shane is sick and Ilya misses him. It goes about how you'd expect.

    Summary

    Could Rose ever dream up a seaside town that Shane would retire to? Could Rose ever crack the lock of Shane Hollander’s heart that was so heavily guarded due to years of hiding and perfectionism? Would she ever memorize poetry in every language just to make sense of Shane and all the atoms that he was made up of?

    or, a meditative character study of Ilya Rozanov as he grapples with the aftermath of the tuna melt scene
