    Summary

    "Hey," Shane says, settling on the bed beside him. "Look at me."

    Ilya turns his head, and Shane can see how much he's struggling - the exhaustion in his eyes, the weight of everything he's been carrying pulling him down.

    "I'm going to take care of you," Shane says. "Okay?"

    Ilya's breath catches. "Shane-"

    "You need this," Shane says. "You need to let go. And I'm going to help you."

    "I don't know if I can," Ilya admits quietly.

    "You can," Shane says. "I've got you. Just trust me."

    Ilya searches his face for a long moment, then nods.

    "Good," Shane says. "Get undressed and lie down on your stomach."

    After a few difficult weeks on the road, Ilya is exhausted. Wound tight and on the verge of a depressive episode, he's beating himself up and stuck in his own head. Luckily, Shane knows exactly what he needs.

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.

    No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

    Summary

    “So. That’s it? Those are the rules?” Hayden asked. “Don’t go through your texts or photos, keep up with your workouts and diet, and listen to everything Yuna says, without question.”

    Shane seemed to be thinking about it, pausing a second. All of a sudden, he looked up at Hayden, again with that intense anxiety face.

    “And most importantly, do not talk to Ilya Rozanov. Ever. No matter what.” Shane said, “Avoid him. Don’t even look at him. OK?”

    Hayden nodded, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Like he even needed to be told that. Besides, Shane had been avoiding Ilya Rozanov for his entire career. How hard could it be?

    OR a well-meaning witch bodyswaps Shane and Hayden (to teach them about the power of friendship) the day before the 2017 All Stars Game.
