    Summary

    Shane Hollander has built himself around routine, his life blood is hockey. Struggling to understand his team off the ice and the people around him, he carves out a few silent hours to himself. It's just him and his skates. But the hard fought peace is fragile, like cracks in too thin ice. It only takes a slight impact to shatter. Shane is fighting to hold his team and himself together as everything comes crashing down around him.

    Someone hacks into Rose Landry's phone in a club, they then release the images of Shane's texts online and all hell breaks loose. Shane is left to pick up the pieces. Ilya makes some choices in the aftermath that change everything where as Shane decides to stop hiding and Ilya is a possessive asshole who makes it everyone else's problem. With far less reason to hide himself anymore, Shane begins to show more of who he really is behind the polite, media worthy façade. Maybe he can have both Hockey and Ilya. The world will just have to deal with it.

    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

    Ilya Rozanov hoped he would be a neutral, a disappointment to his father.
    "A Level 10 dominant. Even higher than me. Ilya, you are destined for great positions, great things."
    But instead, Ilya had breathed through the heat, the pain and directly stared at his father with a fury unmatched for a 13 year old –when he spoke, he held no emotion in his voice, or face.
    “I want to skate and play hockey. I am going to practice, father."

    Two weeks into the age of 17, Shane Hollander had woken up with his entire body burning, every muscle in his body cramping in pain until his mother had sensed it, and rushed to him.
    “No, no. No. No.” He crawled to his knees on the bed, his entire body spasming. “No!” He yelled. “Mom, get me to a doctor. Today. I’m going on blockers. I have ice in three hours, then I have to go to school, and I have high impact training at 6. I cannot.”
    Yuna had cupped her son’s cheek, completely calm and stoic in his panic and anxiety.
    “Mom, I have hockey!” He yelled in panic, and in pain as he groaned in pain, his muscles rebelling.
    “...Level 10.” He repeated, just to make sure his brain wasn’t fucking him over. “A level 10, submissive.”

    Summary

    With sudden, obvious clarity, Hayden realized that maybe it wasn’t that Shane wasn’t comfortable with intimacy, but rather that the world—especially the world of the NHL—wasn’t comfortable with the type of intimacy Shane wanted.

    Or Hayden Pike POV as Shane comes to terms with being gay.
