    Summary

    Shane and Jackie both nearly jumped out of their skin when they heard a loud, metallic bang from across the park. The whole park was suddenly quiet, and the following few seconds felt like they were stretched into minutes. Shane quickly turned around and looked at the playground for his kids, instinctively needing to make sure they were okay. His eyes found them quickly, and relief briefly filled his body. Both kids apparently in one piece and accounted for.

    He kept looking around, his feet now picking up speed as they numbly carried him forward.

    Shane felt a sudden rush of cold over his body. “Where’s Ilya?” he quietly said to himself. He knew Ilya would’ve stayed near their son. So where was he?

     

    OR: Ilya is more than used to hockey injuries. This time, however, his most recent concussion happens off the ice and involves his own child, and no one in the Hollander-Rozanov family handles it well.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander never got that concussion, and Ilya Rozanov breaks up with him. Shortly after, Shane suffers a career ending injury. They don’t speak again.

    Of course, stories don’t end like that. At least not theirs. When Shane adopts a little girl with familiar curls and deep blue eyes, Shane writes letters to Ilya, imagining he was with him, raising the girl together.

    Movers get things mixed up. Letters get sent. And after 4 years of no contact, Ilya moves to Ottawa to see Shane again. The only question is—will Shane let him in? Or is he still just as scared as he was in 2017?

    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.
