    Summary

    During the quiet stretch of the off-season, when the world slows and the rink sits nearly empty, Shane and Ilya make a life-changing decision, they become foster parents.

    They expect paperwork, waiting, and time to prepare. Instead, they get three children that same night.

    Logan, Kaitlyn, and Maggie arrive with everything they own in trash bags and more weight on their shoulders than any child should carry. What follows is their journey of learning how to comfort, navigate anger, and how to build trust with kids who have only ever known instability.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is Harbor High’s quiet hockey star: brilliant, disciplined, closeted, destined for the NHL, admired from distance but never understood. When his mother Yuna brings home Ilya Rozanov, a sharp-tongued Russian teen with nowhere left to go, Shane’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Ilya is carrying grief, secrets, and a past everyone is eager to judge. He is also annoying and now he's living in Shane's family's poolhouse. Shane can't stop looking at him.

    Thrown together by circumstance, school, and (bad) parental choices, Shane and Ilya become impossible for each other to ignore. In a sunny world full of beach-house parties, polished lies, rich-kid cruelty, and hidden longing, their tangled up lives turns into something more dangerously exhilarating: love.

    Or: Heated Rivalry, but make it The OC.

    Summary

    For one brief second, Ilya thinks Hollander is going to stop, step out of the walkway, say something. Do anything. 

    Ilya's hand twitches at his side, absurdly, like it's waiting for a handshake that has not happened yet. Like it's preparing for the contact. 

    Instead, Hollander gives him the smallest half-nod, barely there, and walks into the arena. 

     

    OR: One bad World Juniors drops Ilya Rozanov to sixth overall in the draft and Shane Hollander goes first. Rozanov decides he’s going to spend his career proving the league wrong. What he doesn’t plan on is becoming fixated on Hollander in the process. On the way he plays, the way he watches Rozanov right back. Somewhere along the way, it stops being about the league’s attention and starts being about keeping Hollander’s.

    Summary

    Hayden gets up to move and pats Shane's shoulder on his way out. “Remember the party we're having at our place on Friday, okay?”

    Shane calls out an “okay” just as the front door slams shut behind him.

    He sets his bag down in his room before going to grab a can of coke—Hayden buys them and then ends up drinking Shane's stuff anyway—and walks into the room now occupied by a stranger.

    “Hey,” he calls out to the half hidden figure inside the closet as he sets down the coke on the new desk next to the door. “I don't know if you like coke but I brought you one. I'm Shane by the way.”

    The face that peeks out from behind the closet door makes Shane's eyes widen.

    Holy shit.

    Summary

    2014: Ilya Rozanov shocks the world and breaks Shane Hollander’s heart by disappearing without explanation, and without a goodbye kiss.

    2024: A devastating injury forces Shane to retire early, so he moves to a small town to coach girls hockey and figure out what the hell to do with the rest of his life.

    When recently divorced Ilya Rozanov walks into the rink with his twin girls, Shane has to decide if he’s brave enough to risk a second chance on a broken heart, and a rekindled romance with the first and only boy he ever loved.

    ***

    “So.” Ilya cleared his throat. “Should we tell the girls their Papa and their coach used to date?”

    “We didn’t date. We hooked up a few times, then you disappeared.” Shane looked away to hide his heartbreak as he lied, “It doesn’t even matter. It’s not like I loved you or anything.”

    “No, of course not.” Ilya tried to smile through a lie of his own, “I didn’t love you either.”
