    Summary

    What if Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander had the perfect beard?
    Lily-Jane Smith is just a normal girl living her quiet hermit life in a secluded corner of Montreal, running from a past she doesn’t talk about and minding her own business. She livestreams. She freelances. She avoids people.
    Then she befriends her landlord.
    Unfortunately, her landlord is Shane Hollander — NHL golden boy, walking media frenzy, and deeply closeted disaster.
    Now her peaceful routine includes sold-out arenas, terrible stadium poutine, icing bruises after intense games, and pretending to be the loving girlfriend of two hockey superstars while secretly covering for their very intense, very secret relationship with their biggest rival.
    Yes. That rivalry.
    It’s fine. She’s fine. They’re fine.
    It’s just a tiny lavender marriage situation.
    Minor complication: she may or may not have developed a massive crush on her best friend/fake boyfriend’s boyfriend’s teammate — who, for obvious reasons, thinks she’s dating said best friend’s boyfriend.
    Totally normal. Not messy at all.
    What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    When Shane reluctantly agreed to kick off his MLH career with a photoshoot, he imagined, somewhat vaguely, a hockey uniform and some dramatic lighting on the rink. Shoot a few pucks. Pose intensely. That kind of thing.

    The marketing agency, apparently, had other ideas.

    A plane flight gone wrong, a desperate crash landing, and suddenly hockey’s two brightest young stars find themselves stranded in the heart of the Canadian wilderness. With no way home and no rescue coming, they only have one hope for survival -- each other.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.
    __________________________________________________________________

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.
