    Summary

    Ilya wanted his happy ever after, his HEA. He had had enough of “happy for now.” He felt so close. He was on a winning streak with his team, which included his husband. He had a dog and parents who came to their games in shirts stitched together, the backs reading Hollanov. He was so close, he could almost taste the Cup, the champagne. So when he wakes up one fateful morning in a bedroom that’s so familiar but also so far from his own, he can’t help but wonder what cruel fate the gods have given him this time.

    or

    Ilya gets swapped with an Ilya from an alternate universe where Scott didn't win the cup in 2017, there are no out gay NHL players and they didn't go to the cottage together. Oh and Shane gets stuck with AU Ilya.

    Summary

    After the tuna meltdown, they never really get the chance to get back together, only watching each other’s lives from a distance, occasionally reaching out through texts, pretending it’s enough.

    Until one day, Shane receives a package at his doorstep.
    It’s a book. It’s Ilya Rozanov’s memoir.

    Summary

    Cliff hates the waiting game, mostly because it goes on way too long. A year. A year of trying to find a moment to bring up the ring, casually mentioning Jane where it won’t push Roz away, making exasperated eye contact with his teammates with each failed lead. 
    -
    The Boston Bears just want their captain to be happy, they don't mean to uncover the most well kept secret in the NHL.
    Good thing the rookies are cute, Rozanov can't yell at cute.

    Summary

    Ilya never made it to the cottage.

    Ilya Rozanov spent nine years in exile, convincing himself that disappearing was an act of protection. But when he returns to the NHL and signs with the Ottawa Centaurs, the team led by Shane Hollander, his former rival and secret love, he learns that distance has changed nothing. Their bodies still remembers. The air between them still crackles.

    Shane Hollander has built a life of careful normalcy: a captain's role, a dog named Anya, the performance of a man who doesn't need anything from anyone. But Ilya's return unmakes all of it in a single moment of eye contact.

    As proximity forces them closer to the truth they've been avoiding, Ilya and Shane has to finally confront the question that has haunted them both for years: Was the silence ever protection, or only destruction in disguise?

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov never expected to end up working third shift at a QuikTrip off I-85 in a tiny Southern town.

    Shane Hollander never expected the loud Russian with the nicotine habit and a joke for every customer to become the most distracting part of his shift.

    Some people fall in love over candlelit dinners and silk sheets.
    Shane and Ilya have fluorescent lights, stale coffee, and exactly eight hours a night.

    Maybe graveyard shift isn't so lonely after all.
