    Oh, this is embarrassing.”

    Ilya frowned.

    “What now?”

    “You bought a Rolex?”

    “It is watch.”

    “It’s a Shane Hollander watch.”

    Across the neighbouring table Shane nearly inhaled sparkling water wrong.

    Summary

    Rose tried very hard. She dated actors, musicians, entrepreneurs, one extremely enthusiastic yoga instructor, and most recently a professional hockey player. That last attempt had seemed promising at first. Athletic, handsome, quiet in a mysterious way.
    It turned out he was quiet because he was internally panicking.
    Shane Hollander was, in Rose’s expert opinion, “a lovely human being and a complete disaster in denial.”

    Shane froze. Completely. Utterly. His brain visibly stopped working.

    “I… what… who…” he stammered.

    Rose smiled sweetly. “Tall. Russian. Smirks a lot. Looks like he could break hearts professionally.”

    Shane’s face turned red. Then redder. Then a deep, tragic shade of humiliation.

    “I…” He covered his face. “Oh my god.”

    “Ilya Rozanov,” Rose continued. “Ring any bells?”

    Shane made a noise that was somewhere between a groan and a whimper.

    “I’m going to disappear now.” he muttered.

    “I googled it, you spent too much money,” Shane said.

    “Cheapest car I have ever bought,” Ilya dismissed.

    It wasn’t. He had splurged for every single extra, wanting Shane to be as safe and comfortable as possible. And Svetlana had been the one to sell to him, so she got a hefty commission bonus from him.

    “You spent –”

    “I don’t want you sliding around the roads in the fucking snow, Hollander,” Ilya said, regretting the snippiness in his voice.

    Shane took a deep breath. Ilya prepared himself for a fight, for another smart ass comment –

    “Thank you, Ilya,” Shane said instead, his voice soft.

    Ilya blinked, sitting up in bed for the first time since he woke up. “You’re not going to fight with me?”

    “Not about this,” Shane said. “You wanted me to be safe.”

    Ilya sighed and threw himself back down against his sheets. “Don’t make this a big deal.”

    “Because you love me,” Shane said softly.

    “Yes, Shane,” Ilya agreed. “Because I love you.”

    Summary

    David Hollander arrives in Montreal with homemade soup, expecting to take care of his son Shane, who’s down with the flu after missing the biggest NHL game of the season.
    What he does not expect is finding Shane cuddled in the lap of his greatest hockey rival: Boston Bears captain Ilya Rozanov.
    Apparently the NHL’s most legendary rivalry has secretly been a relationship for over a decade.
    Now David must process three shocking truths:
     his son is gay,
     Ilya Rozanov is basically a housewife with pharmacy bags,
     and every on-ice fight was apparently foreplay.

    David stared.

    “You know Yuna makes tea with honey?”

    Ilya looked confused.

    “Mr. Hollander, I have dated your son since Obama administration. I know many things.”

    Shane groaned into his hands again.

    “Please stop saying sentences.”

    “No.”

    David suddenly began laughing. He couldn’t help it.
