    Summary

    In a world where homophobia and queer fear doesn't exist, in a world where love can happen out in the open for anyone and everyone, Shane Hollander is still stubbornly single. As the Captain of the Montreal Voyageurs, he insists he's too focused on hockey and his career for a relationship, when in reality, old fears of being seen as "the hockey weirdo" keep him from unmasking.

    That is, until Ilya Rozanov enters his life. The newly single Captain of the Ottawa Centaurs, after a decade-long relationship ends amicably, is now interested in the one man who won't give him the time of day.

    So when Shane, while on National Television, tells Ilya he'll have to "impress him" to earn that first date, Ilya takes it as the greatest challenge of his life. What follows is a whirlwind of grand romantic gestures, public flirting, chirping (flirting) on the ice, social media ploys and and ever escalating spectacle. All while the NHL, their friends, their family, their teams, and fans across the continent watch, cheer, and place bets on when Shane will finally say yes.

    Summary

    “Shane Hollander’s having a big gay wedding.”
    Ilya’s ball rocketed sideways into the woods with a crack like a rifle shot; somewhere in the trees, a goose honked in outrage.
    “Jesus Christ,” Tyler said.
    “Wow,” Marly said. “That was…what the fuck was that, Roz?”
    Ilya was gripping the club so hard his knuckles had gone white. “Bad swing.”
    “That wasn’t a bad swing, that was like a physics-defying swing. I didn’t know you could make a ball go in that direction. You okay?”
    “Fine.” Hollander was getting married. Getting gay married. Who the fuck was Hollander marrying? He wasn’t even… Ilya cleared his throat, shoved his biggest club back in the bag, noted distantly that his hands were shaking. “Hollander is gay?”

    Summary

    Shane pulled away, grinning to himself, and took his seat across the table. When he was settled, he looked back up to Ilya and had to bite back a laugh.
    His content little smile was long gone, replaced with shock and displeasure. He stared stupidly at Shane, mouth opening and closing like a fish as he struggled to get words out. “Shane, you— I— what?”

    Shane cocked his head sideways in that way Ilya always did when he was being particularly difficult. “What?” he asked. “Is there something on my face?”

    His husband continued gaping at him. He could almost see the little hamster wheel spinning in Ilya’s brain as he tried to come up with words. Finally, almost a full minute later, he managed, “No, there is nothing on your face!”
    ---
    Ilya is the king of rage-baiting, and Shane has had enough. He's learned from the best, after all.
