    Summary

    “Teammates,” Taylor echoed, his gaze drifting. Slowly, deliberately, to the ring on Ilya’s left hand. He did not look away immediately. He let the silence stretch until it became noticeable.

    Shane felt the first flicker of unease then—not jealousy, not yet, but something colder. A sense of being assessed.

    “You are not competing for ice time,” Ilya said. “You are competing with a marriage. And you will lose.”

    Summary

    Every part of Shane’s body vibrated with want and need for Ilya. Neither of them escalated the kiss though. Not yet. Shane wanted to relish in the feel of Ilya’s hard body pressed against his. The slowness of the kiss meant they had time. A whole weekend. That was more time than Shane had ever thought possible for them to have.

    [OR continuation of No choice but to love you
    --- Ilya realized he made a mistake letting Shane go after their hookup in Vegas. As he's rushing to find Shane, he receives a text message from Shane that read: We didn’t even kiss.

    When he gets to the elevator, Shane is still there. And the way they kiss inside that metal box is healing, and destructive, and transcendent for both of them. It shatters them completely.

    Ilya and Shane agree to spend the night together in the Vegas Penthouse, which turns into three.]

    Summary

    Sometimes life came at you with a clenched fist and Ilya had never figured out how to duck.

    So here he was, twenty-eight years old, single, dealing with the fallout from injuries given to him by the game he loved, and the second youngest assistant coach in the league to one of the worst teams. Stability was hard to come by, but he was managing.

    Then along came Shane Hollander to knock him on his ass, one more time.

    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)
