    Summary

    There was just no way this was his life. That morning, Rose had been forcing Shane to demonstrate with his hands how large Ilya’s dick was, wheedling him for all sorts of details that had made him flush beet-red and nearly lose his ability to talk. Now Ilya was here, in front of him, contractually obligated to be stitched to his side day in and day out for the next year, at least. The thought was enough to make Shane dizzy all over again.

    (Shane Hollander is the son of the Canadian prime minister. He is also the captain of his college hockey team. This obscene balancing act is seemingly going just fine, until he accidentally hooks up with his new bodyguard one night at the bar.)

    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.

    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

    After getting fired from his job, Shane makes his night worse by kicking a rock straight into Ilya’s ridiculously expensive car. Broke and out of options, he’s forced into a month long deal with a cold man who loves being in control and the dented car quickly becomes the least complicated part of their arrangement.

    Or: Shane gets fired, commits property damage, and ends up contractually stuck with the worst (and unfortunately hottest) man possible.

    Summary

    “Is someone chasing you?” Ilya drawls. 

    He turns, and yeah, this guy doesn’t look like much of a smoker. Ilya’s learned through time and experience that stoners come in all shapes and sizes, but it’s clear that he isn’t one: hair cut neat and short, straight-laced, brows furrowed into a scowl, shoulders all tight—too squared away. He’s probably not much of a drinker, either, if Ilya had to guess. 

    And he’s wearing a fucking suit, for Christ’s sake. 

    So boring, Ilya thinks, strangely delighted. He wants to take him by the collar and scruff up his hair, if only to see what he might do in response. 

    Or, Shane's struggling with anxiety. Hayden thinks his grumpy weed dealer might be able to help.
