    Summary

    Shrugging one shoulder far more casually than he possibly feels, Ilya says, “I like both. Is secret, okay?”

    “Okay,” Hollander says, voice cracking.

    He doesn’t say anything else. The air’s so heavy around them that it feels like being in the middle of a scrum, the weight and heat of all those bodies pressing down on you. Danger always feels like hockey; it’s the most dangerous thing Ilya knows, except for this. Everything dangerous in his life involves men’s bodies and just how close he can get to them. Closer than he probably should.

    Nobody knows why Shane Hollander dropped out of the 2009 draft at the last second, and a year later it stuns the whole hockey world when he's signed by the Boston Raiders. Having the two biggest stars in the league on the same line is great for Boston - but playing alongside their worst rival was never exactly in Shane or Ilya's plans. Especially not when staying away from each other starts to feel just as impossible as getting along.

    Summary

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Summary

    Hayden has loved Shane Hollander for years, not romantically, not in ways that crossed lines, but in the steady, unshakeable way best friends do. Shane was there for the life Hayden built with Jackie, there when everything fell apart, and there afterward, when grief made even breathing feel like work.

    Ilya Rozanov has always been part of that orbit too: Shane’s husband, sharp-tongued and observant, loving in ways that are louder and fiercer than Hayden ever expected to need. Where Shane offers quiet constancy, Ilya offers insistence, on joy, on honesty, on not disappearing into loss.

    What begins as shared responsibility, school pickups, late nights, standing in kitchens that still remember Jackie, becomes something more fragile and more deliberate. No one is trying to replace what Hayden lost. Jackie’s love remains woven into their lives, into the children they are raising together. But grief shifts, and the space it leaves behind makes room for something new.

    Together, Shane, Ilya, and Hayden learn that love can expand without erasing the past. That family can be chosen, reshaped, and rebuilt. And that sometimes the deepest connections are the ones that have been there all along waiting to be named.
