    Summary

    Shane Hollander disappears from the NHL at twenty with a career-ending “injury.”

    Four years later, he’s the new assistant coach for the Ottawa Centaurs when Ilya Rozanov signs with the team. His former rival. His secret hookup. The father of his daughter.
    Ilya doesn’t know Lily exists and Shane plans to keep it that way.

    But three-year-olds don’t keep secrets, and neither do pale blue eyes.

    Summary

    Ilya’s dad dies right before the 2017 All-Star Game, so he never learns that Shane and Rose broke up. While he’s in Russia, a threat from his brother makes him ask Svetlana for help and marry her so he can get a US green card—it’s meant to be a discreet, simple thing, but the Boston tabloids get a hold of it and then it’s all over social media. Three months later, Shane Hollander holds a press conference to share two things: he's leaving Montreal to play for the Ottawa Centaurs, and he's gay.

    Summary

    “Hollander,” Ilya greeted. He was leaning over the partition of Shane's desk with a lop-sided smile on his face.

    “Rozanov,” Shane said pointedly.

    “You sound upset.”

    “I’m not upset.”

    “It is too early in the morning for you to look like you want to kill me,” Ilya pointed out.

    “It’s never too early for that,” Shane threw back, unnecessarily shuffling some papers around on his desk. “Do you need something?”

    “A pen,” Ilya shrugged, not being able to stop the dumb smile forming on his face at Shane’s reaction.

    Summary

    When a one night stand with a sexy stranger turns sour, Bitty runs his mouth and sets a challenge. But what he's asking for is less than what Jack wants to give him.

    In the end, it might just be exactly what they both need.

     

    To think a few blissful seconds ago Bitty’d been working up the nerve to ask for Jack’s number.

     

    Now, with Jack dressing in the dark without a word of explanation, Bitty choked on the disappointment that tasted suspiciously like the jagerbombs Holster had forced him to drink and let it leak out into these next words he spoke:

     

    “So it was bad for you too, hmm?”
