    Summary

    NHL golden boy Shane Hollander has spent his entire life being perfect — the ideal captain, the flawless teammate, the face of the franchise. He’s also spent his entire life hiding.

    When a chance encounter in a New York club leads him to Ilya Rozanov, Shane discovers what it means to finally let go. The problem? Ilya isn’t just confident, wealthy, and dangerously attractive. He’s also the heir to the Russian Bratva’s North American empire.

    What starts as one reckless weekend becomes something neither of them expected: real, consuming, and worth protecting at any cost — even when that cost includes bodies, lies, and a secret that could destroy everything Shane has built.

    Twenty-five years, three Stanley Cups, countless threats, and one question: how far will you go for the person who makes you feel like yourself?

    Summary

    Shane grew up surrounded by alpha posturing, declaring in the locker rooms how too big and too much their alpha cocks were, and Shane learned to take it as it was; overcompensation.

    Because any chance that he was able to sneak a glance in the shower stalls or the urinals, he’d roll his eyes over what they classified as too big and too much.

    When Shane saw Ilya Rozanov’s cock for the first time in the locker room shower the summer before their rookie year, Shane thought he’d finally found too big, but not too much.

    Not to Shane, anyhow.

    Or; Alpha Ilya Rozanov has never been able to spend his rut with a partner. Shane Hollander is up for the challenge.

    Summary

    “You want to know how it feels?” Ilya said, eyes looking behind him to where Rozanov was licking at his ears, making long, slow strokes with his cock,“To have both your holes stuffed with my cum?”

    Shane walks into Rozanov's Vegas penthouse after MLH award in 2014 and sees two Ilya Rozanovs.

    Summary

    Team Canada is undefeated, the Olympic Village is buzzing, and Shane Hollander just wants to focus on hockey.

    Unfortunately, his husband has discovered capitalism.

    When the Olympic Committee announces a condom shortage across the Village, Shane assumes it’s just another chaotic headline in an already surreal tournament. What he does not expect is to discover that Ilya Rozanov has been quietly selling their unused “complimentary health supplies” to stressed-out rookies and possibly half the international athletes...for five euros each.

    + additional drawing!
