    Summary

    Ilya walks into the Kingfisher, hands shoved in his jacket pockets. He spots Scott Hunter immediately, sitting at one end of the bar counter and watching—openly—as his boyfriend, Kip Grady, tends to patrons at the other side of the bar.

    Officially, as far as public perception goes, he is Ilya Rozanov, captain of the Ottawa Centaurs, going to a sports bar to chirp at Scott Hunter even after a humiliating 4-1 loss because he is an asshole. As far as Shane knows, he is also there to discuss the potential of Hunter as a coach for their hockey camps because, despite how much Ilya teases him, he can admit that Hunter is a decent player and a respectable one too.

    Him and Shane would not have gotten together, after all, if he hadn’t been brave enough to call his boyfriend down from the stands after winning the cup and kiss him at center ice.

    Privately, he wants to talk to Hunter—really talk—because he is lonely.

    OR:

    Ilya allows himself to find a loophole in his agreement with Shane that no one who doesn't already know about him and Ilya can know about him and Ilya.

    Summary

    Hayden Pike thought he knew everything about his best friend. He knew Shane Hollander’s coffee order, his blood type, and his superstitious need for a "lucky" hat. But he didn't know about the secret domestic life Shane was hiding behind the sliding glass door of his Lanaudière cottage. When Hayden arrives unannounced, he expects "guy time" and a fun weekend with Shane. Instead, he witnesses a soft, private domesticity between Shane and the one man Hayden thought they both hated most: Ilya Rozanov. Forced to reconcile the "World’s Biggest Asshole" with the man who expertly calms Shane through a devastating panic attack, Hayden realizes that if he wants to stay in Shane’s life, he’ll have to learn to play a new part.

    Summary

    Shane told himself it worked because it was simple.
    No expectations. No risk. No one could out him if no one knew.
    So he kept his world small.
    No dating apps. No random hookups. No chances.
    Just Ilya.
    It was supposed to be safer that way.
    What he hadn’t accounted for was time.
