Summary
The best way to describe this work, I think, is as a novelization of the television series told from Ilya Rozanov's point of view. What happens in the series will happen, more or less, in this work.
Please note, I did read both Heated Rivalry and The Long Game by Rachel Reid, but that was some time ago and my recollection of them is spotty at best. Because they are novels and this is a written story, I did NOT consult the books in order to reduce the chance that I would inadvertently plagiarize them. That means that where the television series leaves a gap in the narrative, I may fill it with something very different than what happens in the books. We will all end up at the cottage, but some of us are taking a slightly different path to get there.
This novelization means that potentially triggering things that happen in the series (like mental health issues) will happen in this work. NOTE, HOWEVER, no new issues will be added in this work. No one dies. No one is outed. No one is assaulted. This is just the story of the show as if it were from Ilya's point of view.

Summary
When Shane Hollander looks into the future he sees— not a flat sheet of ice, not that, not anymore, but something equally as empty.
His backup plan was always to go to university. He hadn't thought he'd ever need it, not really. Especially not near the end, when everything felt so certain. But his grades were good, his mom made sure of that, so when he woke up in the hospital he already knew what he was going to do next. But after?
There's a standard path people take, he knows, that comes after school. But when he tries to picture it, slot himself into the picket fence and the corporate overhead fluorescents, it disappears. Like it was never going to be real at all.
(Or: after ending up at a jazz bar to celebrate the end of finals season, Shane Hollander finds himself where he never thought he'd be— in the orbit of NHL superstar Ilya Rozanov.)

Summary
Ilya had some rules of engagement. No more than one accidental sleepover. No meeting parents. And certainly no closeted soft boys who had never even kissed a man, begging to get their hearts broken.
But it was Shane Hollander. Hockey savant with a face that belonged on a fucking billboard. A blushing hybrid of nerd and jock, who moaned like a whore and pushed his body to the brink so he could take more of Ilya’s cock. So the rules didn’t really apply.
-
In their rookie year, Shane Hollander blew out his knee and had to retire from professional hockey, and Ilya Rozanov dropped out of the league for unknown reasons. A few months later, Rozanov had started a professional porn company, his body and charisma the only assets at his disposal. Hollander counted himself lucky he never had to do anything like that.
Until he did.

Summary
“Need a bet to get laid, Rozanov? You’re really that desperate these days?”
“Nostalgic, maybe.”
“Wow. Big word.”
“Shut up, Hollander.”
Shane shuts up.
“When I win,” Rozanov continues. “I get you for…twenty-four hours.”

Shane and Ilya are in rival frats in their senior year and it's time for the annual Greek Olympiad. A bet is made.

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.”
