    Summary

    Odd-Man Rush: The situation that occurs when a team enters the attacking zone and outnumbers the opposing players in the zone.

    Or,

    Shane doesn’t know why he still feels so off-kilter. He should be the happiest he’s ever been—he won the Cup, he feels like he’s maybe starting to have a few friends on his team, and he’s finally starting to believe his parents when they tell him he won’t get traded again. He should be on top of the world, but sometimes he still feels like the lone defender on an odd-man rush, skating as fast as he can to prevent what feels like an inevitable outcome.

    The problem is that he’s not quite sure which outcome it is that he’s trying to stop.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov won't pretend like he hasn't noticed Shane Hollander. He's noticed him every week since Hollander took his hand at the Junior's competition. He has seen every commercial, every poster, and every paparazzi photo. He watches Hollander's post game interviews and has dreams of licking the sweat off his body.

    ... But he does find it interesting that Hollander is the only hockey player to make Ilya feel this way--the only dream that rivals all his other distractions.

    After seven years of his hopeless—frankly, lustful—crush on Hollander, they meet for the all star game in Tampa Bay. All it takes is a handshake, two drinks, and the best game of Ilya's life for him to decide he's going to give it all up.

    He decides to move to Hollander's hometown and steal his heart.
