    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent years building a quiet, careful life for himself and his daughter. No dating, no risks, no alphas.

    Just work, parenting, and keeping Yuki safe in a world that has not always been kind to omegas. Everything changes the moment Yuki slips away from him at a crowded public event and is found in the arms of star hockey player Ilya Rozanov, who handles her with a gentleness that leaves Shane unexpectedly unsteady.

    What should have been a brief, awkward encounter becomes something far more complicated. Yuki adores Ilya on sight. Ilya keeps showing up, offering small kindnesses, sending messages that turn into late-night conversations, and slipping into Shane’s life with a warmth that feels dangerously easy. Shane, who promised himself he would never relay on an alpha, finds himself drawn to the one man he should not want.

    Neither of them understands why their connection feels so instinctive or why being together feels like stepping into a life they have somehow already lived. As their bond deepens and Yuki pulls them closer with fearless certainty, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: some families form themselves long before you realize you are part of one.

    Summary

    When Shane Hollander looks into the future he sees— not a flat sheet of ice, not that, not anymore, but something equally as empty.

    His backup plan was always to go to university. He hadn't thought he'd ever need it, not really. Especially not near the end, when everything felt so certain. But his grades were good, his mom made sure of that, so when he woke up in the hospital he already knew what he was going to do next. But after?

    There's a standard path people take, he knows, that comes after school. But when he tries to picture it, slot himself into the picket fence and the corporate overhead fluorescents, it disappears. Like it was never going to be real at all.

    (Or: after ending up at a jazz bar to celebrate the end of finals season, Shane Hollander finds himself where he never thought he'd be— in the orbit of NHL superstar Ilya Rozanov.)

    Summary

    There had been a moment where Shane’s eyes had landed on him and his throat had gone tight in a way that he told himself was envy, because Rozanov had been deemed number one and that was where Shane had wanted to be and no other reason, before he’d even noticed her. It didn’t last long though, because she was honestly sort of hard to miss.

    She looked like a doll, dressed up in a pale pink tweed dress with a big lace collar and a giant bow in her hair. She was tiny compared to Rozanov, only just reaching his waist, but that didn’t seem to stop her from climbing all over him as though he were a jungle gym, tugging on his hands in demand as she rattled off something Shane didn’t understand the words of but picked up the meaning for pretty easily. It wasn’t hard to see that she was trying to get him to watch her. “Ilyusha, posmotri na menja!”

    ***

    Ilya Rozanov has a little sister. When she moves to Boston after an incident with her father, somehow Shane Hollander finds himself drawn into the family unit completely against his will. At least that's what he tells anybody that asks.

    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

    He’d seen guys flinch before. Seen rookies go white when they squared up to him on the ice. Watched fear in opponents’ faces when they’d underestimated him and realised their mistake as his shoulder hit their chest.

    He had never expected to see it in Shane Hollander’s eyes when he looked at him.

    What the fuck did I do? Ilya thought, fingers curling into fists around empty air. What the fuck did hockey do to you?

    He didn’t have an answer.

    All he had was six years of silence, a thousand nights of imagining what he would say if they ever ended up in the same city again, and the way Hollander had just looked right through him like he was nothing at all.
