    Summary

    Five years ago, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov quietly went their separate ways. They handled their heartbreak differently. Shane cut off his family and friends and focused only on hockey, not that it helped, his game has totally fallen apart. Ilya had the support of the Centaurs, even if they didn't know why they were supporting him.

    But when Ilya announces his retirement at the end of the next season, it shakes Shane back to reality. He has one season left to play against the man he still loves; and then, would he ever see him again? As Shane starts to piece his life back together, the biggest missing piece is still Ilya.

    Ilya had planned to just enjoy the last season he'd play of professional hockey and obviously try to win another cup. But when Shane reaches back out, he has much more to consider. He never expected to talk to Shane again, but he can't deny that it's everything he's wanted in the last five years.

    Can they salvage what they had? Should they even try? How can Shane and Ilya be a part of each other's lives again?

    Summary

               Hayden Pike can admit he’s got a lot of things on his mind these days. Hockey takes up a lot of it, so does his kids, as much as he loves all four of them. The rest is all for Jackie. He’s not oblivious though, he’s good at puzzles, enjoys a good game show on a Sunday morning with the wife. Hayden has roomed with Shane Hollander, his best friend, uncle to his children, for a good number of years now, so of course he knows about Lily’s existence.
               Maybe not much about her, but he’s seen the way Shane’s face lights up when she calls, how he’s always quick to slip away from the hotel room in Boston, how fast the man checks his phone. As Shane’s best friend, of course Hayden knows the most about the man and about the secrets surrounding his mysterious girlfriend. Right?

    Summary

    "You're supposed to smoke over there." Someone said from behind Ilya.

    Ilya almost dropped his cigarette. His English was shitty, but he had studied that sentence enough times over the years to understand it immediately. He didn't even think about his words much anymore, but it was impossible to avoid them.

    He turned instinctively, and was face to face with Shane fucking Hollander.

    Out of almost seven billion people, of course Ilya's soulmate had to be his fated rival. It was almost poetic. Still, Ilya had enough sense to realize just how bad this was.

    or, Shane says Ilya's soulmate words. Ilya vows to never speak a word to him to keep him from finding out. They fall in love anyway.
