Summary
After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.
Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.
A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.
Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.

Summary
The game in Montreal was supposed to be electric. A rivalry renewed. A win on the line. Two captains refusing to hold back.
Ilya and Jackie were on a short flight to watch their boys face off.
They never made it.
When a plane bound for Montreal crashes between cities, Shane Hollander and Hayden Pike lose everything in the same moment. In the fluorescent quiet of their locker rooms, the world splits cleanly in two.
Left behind are four children. Two grieving husbands. And a bond that has always survived rivalry, distance, and pride is now forced to survive something far more fragile.
Because grief doesn’t just take.
It changes.What begins as survival slowly becomes something harder to name. Something neither of them expected. Something that doesn’t fit into the lives they thought they understood.
And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to pretend it’s just grief.
OR: Two men lose the people they loved most—and find themselves holding onto each other in ways they don’t understand.
OR OR: Grief brought them together. Everything after that gets complicated.
