Summary
I think I will run until I am too exhausted to panic. Then, and only then, will I go to the hotel. I’ll tell Hayden I was working out, overdid it a bit, then shower and go to sleep. I’ll delete Il–Rozanov’s–number, find a nice girl to date…It will be fine. It will be just. Fucking. Fine.
That’s the last thought I have before I feel a flash of pain, and then darkness.

Summary
“I’m not sure of the exact reasons Montreal has, but the League needs a distraction from the bad press.” Laurenti’s face twists with disapproval. “Crowell’s known to be friendly with the Morin family, they own the Metros. Crowell must have asked for a favor and who knows what he’s promised them in return. Who better to distract from a scandal than Canada’s favorite son?”
The realization hits Ilya like a punch to the solar plexus.
“They’re trading Shane fucking Hollander?” Reilly questions with utter disbelief. It takes a half second more before he follows the question with another. “We’re signing him?”

News that Dallas Kent, up and coming star center for the Toronto Guardians, is wanted for murder breaks during the Sochi Olympics.

Summary
Shane woke up alone, in pain and confused. He remembered the hit, Marlow had sent him down to the ice. He remembered Ilya visting before anyone else. He doesn't undertand what is wrong, why are more tests being ordered. The C test. The test for being a rare Male Carrier.
He hadnt thought about Carriers since he was in school. Why would he. His mother had done the test when he was a child. It had been negative. So why was he hurting in places he shouldn't. Why was a nice nurse telling him they needed to take him somwhere else for some specialised testing.
When Shane Hollander took a nasty hit on the ice against Boston, he is woken up to a very serious, very shocking discovery. To something he hadn't believed was possible. He now has to deal with the fallout, decisions have to be made as well as life altering choices. But first he has to work out how to tell his years long situationship - who he is completely and totally in love with - that he managed to get him pregnant, when neither of them was aware it was possible. Shane is terrified, confused and furious all at the same time. All he wants is Ilya, but is Ilya going to still want him now.

Summary
When you become friends with benefits at 18, it’s easy to quickly become codependent on each other – especially when the only one who understands your issues is your arch rival. Because who else would you talk to? And how will it change when the rivalry isn’t as prominent as it used to be? When their recurring game of Fuck-Marry-Kill for shits n’ giggles is carried over to real life, Shane and Ilya are forced to face the many mysteries of love.
Or: What if tuna melt never happened? What if there's no jealousy? What if Shane and Ilya’s relationship was based on communication? What if Troy Barrett got traded to Boston and had to deal with the mortifying ordeal of being known?
A story about contradictions and the duality of man, about learning to love yourself and all your flaws. It is also a story about friendship, deep care and trust, and all the small things that make us human. And books.
