    Summary

    Shane Hollander only meant to attend a few hockey games — a small act of rebellion against the boyfriend who controlled every part of his life. But that night changes everything. The arena becomes a refuge, Rose becomes a friend, and the Montreal Metros become the first place he’s felt safe in years.

    No one knows he’s living with domestic violence.
    No one knows he’s planning to run.
    No one knows how much he’s breaking.

    And no one expects him to fall for Ilya Rozanov — the loud, brilliant, closeted Russian winger recently traded under suspicious circumstances.

    Ilya has secrets he can’t share, a past he can’t escape, and feelings he doesn’t know how to handle.

    Shane is learning how to live again.
    Ilya is learning how to feel again.
    Both are learning how to trust.

    But when the truth about their pasts threatens to surface, they’ll have to decide whether they can face it together — or lose each other trying.

    ----------------------------------------

    Or: A story about healing, found family, and the terrifying, beautiful risk of choosing love after surviving what was meant to break you.

    Summary

    Shane was going to be the youngest captain in NHL history. Then Ilya happened. Now they share the A, share a room, and Ilya won't stop testing exactly how much Shane can take.

    Or

    Shane lost the captaincy to a trade. He lost his mind in a hotel room.

    [On hiatus. This is not an indefinite hiatus. I had already written the first 10 chapters before posting, but I need to reconfigure some things in chapter 10 before I move on and I can’t do that rn cause I’ve been super busy. I WILL come back to this.]

    Summary

    Cliff Marlow isn't gay. He just has a running superstition that in order to win, Ilya Rozanov needs to climax before a game.
    Ilya getting horrifically dumped by Montreal Jane doesn't fit neatly into that system, but Marlow isn't afraid to improvise.
