    Summary

    Shane knows the plan to wait to come out until they retire isn't ideal, but he doesn't have a better one. He thinks that he and Ilya can make it work, until his mom points out how long they will have to live their lives in the shadows.

    But once he realizes that, he immediately knows that he can't come out. It would ruin his legacy.

    He's pretty sure that's why he doesn't want to come out. No other reason. Right?

    He is sure that's all it is until Ilya asks him if he would be safe if he came out. And he can't answer.

    or Yuna does the math on the retirement plan and when she points this out it opens Shane's eyes.

    Summary

    The past summer should have left Shane Hollander at his strongest. Married and heading into his second season with the Centaurs. But as training camp approaches, strange symptoms begin to follow him everywhere: nausea that comes and goes, crushing hunger, a tightening in his chest, an ache low in his back, and a quiet, growing sense that something in his body has slipped out of his control.

    Shane knows his body. He has always known it.

    And once the truth comes crashing in, he won’t be able to hide from anything anymore.
    Not from his teammates. Not from the season.

    Not from the family he didn’t know he was already carrying.

    Not even from Ilya.

    Summary

    Shane has always trusted the Montreal Voyageurs, but it seems that trust was misplaced. In a post-game interview, a reporter informs him that his parents were in a car accident before his team ever did, and everything fractures in that moment.

    Months of patterns that have excluded him finally come to a head. Shane makes a decision that detonates across the league — and his life.

    A two-shot of Shane being ready to burn it all to the ground and finally choosing himself!
