    Summary

    After being forced into an early retirement from the NHL due to debilitating mental health issues, Shane Hollander moves back to Ottawa in an attempt to rebuild his crumbling life. Two years later, at the age of 23, he's an ice rink manager and only slightly less miserable than before.
    Shane can never go back to the NHL, but he yearns to skate again. If he's going to play hockey for himself, he's going to have to confront his anxiety holding him down- and that might be a harder challenge than winning a Stanley Cup.
    And the cherry on top? He is in love with his obnoxious Russian assistant manager.

     

    ///Or Shane becomes an ice rink manager and falls in love with hockey all over again.

    Summary

    “Tell me, lyubimyy,” Ilya pushes, his hand crawling around to cradle the side of Shane’s face. His palm is brazen against Shane’s skin. He’s defeated against Ilya’s efforts; his sway and his strength against Shane.

    Shane nudges into that hand, his nose running against the inside of Ilya’s wrist. Wafts of Ilya’s blood fill his nose, sweet with a biting edge. He pulls himself back mentally and berates that ache stinging his gums.

    His eyes are shut as he says, “Just reading and thinking.”

    Ilya glances at the book at the foot of the bed, “Naturally,” he chides, softness lacing around his tone.

    Naturally, right.

    Nothing he does is natural. It was never natural the moment he became what he was. Everything about him is questionable— uncanny.

    Spending time with Shane at the cottage means many things, one of those being a secret that Ilya is determined to figure out.

    Summary

    Hockey is a dangerous sport. Ilya has seen everything from broken teeth to broken bones, but nothing could have ever prepared him for the sight of something dark oozing out from underneath Shane’s head, dying the ice beneath him a bloody red.
