Summary
At twenty-one, Ilya Rozanov is the Soviet Union’s most perfect weapon, a soldier of the Red Machine who has spent three years locked in a silent, jagged war on the ice with Canada’s golden boy, Shane Hollander.
When the Montreal Metros claim him as a "wasted" mid-round draft pick, the rivalry transforms from a professional grudge into a desperate lifeline. On the final night of the 1988 Calgary Olympics, he risks everything, his family, his career, and his safety, to start a new life in the West. Forced into a high-stakes billet under the roof of his bitter professional rival, Ilya must navigate a world where freedom feels like a new kind of prison.
As Ilya struggles to adapt, the crumbling Soviet empire reaches across the ocean, searching for leverage to help pull him back.
OR: What if Ilya fled Russia in 1988 to play for the Montreal Metros?

Summary
So in short, Shane’s sitting at the edge of the sofa, without his stupid glasses on even though he needs them, trying to read his stupid book even though he’s already read it several times, ignoring a stupid movie that actually seems kind of fun because Ilya chose it.
This whole not letting Ilya Rozanov under his skin thing is going swell, in other words. Thank you very much.
~
Shane would've never expected, nor asked, to ever get trapped alone in a confined space with Ilya Rozanov; especially since his captain seems to take specific pleasure in making his presence into Shane's personal slice of hell on earth.
But when a snow storm intervenes with what was supposed to be a team-bonding trip to the cottage, that is unfortunately exactly what happens. They can be normal about it, probably.

Summary
As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.
So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.
(He’s jealous.)
