    Summary

    Book 5 in the Breakaway series featuring:

    Dev— a blueliner rookie with a traumatic past living with Alex and Eli for his first season on the Hounds’ roster, and Theo—Alex’s half-brother who shows up seeking sanctuary after being inhospitably booted from his college/trust fund when his parents find out he’s trans.

    After an antagonistic introduction, Theo and Dev realize they may have more in common than they initially thought (and maybe they should kiss about it??), but they’ll have to engage in a “friends with benefits” agreement full of mutual pining for a good long while before admitting anything like feelings—all while dealing with hockey-related subterfuge, blackmail, and parents who probably shouldn’t be.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov's life takes an unexpected turn when a deadly plane crash in 2021 takes his life, right after a fight with his long-time partner, Shane Hollander. Though instead of the afterlife, Ilya is sent back to December 2008, just before his NHL career began, on the very day that he first met Shane. He finds himself in a familiar world, with knowledge of both the future and knowledge of the man he loves and the friends he holds dear.

    As Ilya navigates this new reality, he rebuilds his relationship with Shane, who is still finding his path in both hockey and his identity as a gay man. With their rivalry blossoming into a different experience than the one Ilya experienced the first time around, the two face challenges around acceptance, family pressures, and the struggles of being openly gay and lovers in the sports world. Throughout their journey, Ilya contemplates his first life, cherishes the present, and strives to alter the course of their futures (and the futures of their friends) for the better.

    Or, Ilya Rozanov discovers first hand what the butterfly effect is, and how it can drastically alter the future.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been in the same fraternity since first year. Now, going into their third year, they become roommates. How did they not think to argue for that sooner?

    Wyatt Hayes and Zane Boodram, after watching Hollzy and Roz fail to get together despite not-so-secretly hooking up these past two years, have the genius idea to put them in the same room.

    Over their infamous third year, Ilya and Shane are caught by the Centaurs Frat House one too many times, pushing them to become serious as even first-year Luca Haas proclaims “it’s too fucking obvious they’re in love with each other” in the living room for everyone to hear.

    TLDR: Friends with benefits become roommates.
