    Summary

    Canada’s golden boy Shane Hollander gets drafted to the Ottawa Centaurs and ends up sharing an apartment - and way too much tension - with his captain, Ilya Rozanov. A private contract keeps their arrangement “simple,” but jealousy, soft moments, and one kiss he can’t forget makes pretending impossible. On the ice they’re electric; off the ice they’re one breath away from breaking.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov boards a plane putting more distance between him and his father and the pressure of life in Russia.

    Shane Hollander boards the same plane with a carefully planned routine and excitement over a break from his sometimes overbearing, but always loving Mother.

    Somewhere between Toronto and Vancouver they discover they have a lot in common and become friends.

    They were supposed to be rivals. They were not supposed to fall for each other. Too bad nobody told them that.

    Summary

    In 2006, the Hollander family billeted a player to the Ottawa 67s - Ilya Rozanov, a 15 year old Russian Bostonian with a hockey talent to rival Shane's.
    Years later, they’d once again share a team, and a home: Boston College.

    “Why did you choose Boston? It’s not like you couldn’t have gone anywhere else.”
    Shane remembered his surprise at Ilya’s commitment. The college didn’t exactly fit Ilya’s predisposition.
    Ilya looked thoughtful for a second, underneath the tumult.
    “Other than the obvious? I don’t know. I think I just felt like this place was where I was meant to go.”
    Shane understood that.
    Ilya nudged him. "Now you. Why are you here, Canadian boy?”
    The corner of Shane’s lip raised, and he shrugged.
    “I wanted to be more than hockey. At least, for a little while longer.”
    Ilya’s eyes locked on him, and a small smile reset the lines of Ilya’s face. “You couldn’t have done that in Canada?”
    Shane laughed lightly. “Sure, but Canada didn’t have you.”
    Ilya looked down at the ground, and didn’t look back up as he spoke.
    “The NHL didn’t have you.”
