Summary
Prince Shane Hollander arrives in the frozen kingdom of Rozanova as a political sacrifice, a foreign prince married off to a man raised to hate everything he represents. King Ilya Rozanov is all broad shoulders and dangerous confidence, yet beneath the armour is a heat that catches Shane off guard. Their wedding binds two nations in suspicion, but the nights behind closed doors begin to spark with something neither can ignore.
Shane fights to survive a hostile court, the relentless cold, and the weight of living among enemies. Ilya is brutal in public, but unexpectedly gentle in private, slowly becoming the one person Shane wants to trust. Fear and pride pull them apart at the worst possible moment, and when danger finally strikes from the shadows, every buried feeling breaks open.
Duty shifts into desire, then into something fierce and consuming. With tensions rising and loyalties tested, Shane and Ilya must decide if they can stand together as more than symbols of peace. This is a marriage that turns into longing, tenderness, and a slow burn that finally turns into fire, all within a kingdom that would rather see them fall than hold each other.

Summary
Svetlana knows about Jane. It's frankly insulting for Ilyusha to think otherwise.
She just never expected to have to call him for help. During the Olympics. In Russia. In the dead of night.

Or, it's Sochi 2014 and Russia has lost to Latvia. Grigori Rozanov, not yet compromised by illness, punishes his son for shaming the family. When Svetlana finds an injured and emotionally fragile Ilya, she knows she needs somewhere safe for him to recover. And there's only one person in Russia who Sveta trusts with her Ilyusha: Canada's Golden Boy, Shane Hollander.- Language:

Summary
The lights are dimmed. A slow, sultry song murmurs through the speakers in hushed Russian whispers. Svetlana is wearing Ilya’s jersey, long and familiar and intimate, and Shane can’t help the way his brain fills in the blanks—how easily it would slide over bare skin.
It’s clear why she’s here.
Worse, he knows exactly who she is.
A name that has come up before, casually, historically. A long-time hookup. A woman Ilya could date publicly if he wanted to. Someone simple. Easy. Soft.
Nothing like Shane.

Summary
“It’s not that there’s anything wrong with you, Shane,” Rose hurried to say, jumping in to save the situation.
“It’s just that you’re pretty introverted and you avoid social situations like the plague. Other than playing hockey, you mostly sit at home reading or watching hockey. The only people you ever see are me and Hayden — I’m honestly surprised Troy came along today — because we’re basically the only friends you have.”
“Wow,” Shane said flatly. “Thanks. That feels less like a discussion about my imaginary boyfriend and more like an attack on my personality, but sure. Go on.”
or: Shane's friends don't believe that slightly socially awkward, normal-guy Shane is dating the famous, flirty hockey player star Ilya Rozanov

Summary
”Shane Hollander of the Montreal Metros has been accused of homophobia after making an insensitive joke regarding gay marriage. This is especially hurtful due to its timing — following a shutout game against the New York Admirals, where Captain Scott Hunter resides as the only openly gay player in the MLH. Our insider source confirms this is not the first time Hollander has expressed his negative opinion on the LGBT+ community.
Our team has reached out to Hollander’s representative staff and is awaiting a response.”
Or: Five times Hollanov tries to come out only for nobody to believe them, and one time it sticks.Series
