Summary
The truth was, yeah, Shane married Ilya, but he’d married hockey first. He married hockey the second he signed his rookie contract with the Metros, and his courtship began long, long before. And his marriage to hockey wasn’t like his marriage to Ilya. Hockey wouldn’t ever love him back. Ilya wasn’t going to chew Shane up and spit him out at some nebulous point after he turned thirty and before he turned forty, his joints busted and his mouth full of dentures and his brain fucked to hell and back. And that marriage—his first marriage—had always come before his second, illicit shotgun wedding.
It wasn’t ideal, maybe, but that was just how things were. Hell, it was probably the same for Ilya, too. The fuck was Shane supposed to do about it? Nothing, nothing, nothing. He liked his life just the way it was. He didn’t want to do anything different. He still doesn’t. And that’s the worst, most shameful part of it all: at the end of the day, some part of Shane will always wish he could wind back time like adjusting a watch; erase that Instagram post before it ever hit the internet and go back to the life they’d had before; the life that was slowly killing them both.

Summary
That day in November, Shane Hollander ran from two things: a Tuna Melt and the terrifying truth of what he and Ilya were becoming. The universe took him seriously.
Now, Shane isn't a professional hockey player. He's a broke, overworked beat writer whose editor communicates primarily through angry texts. He has no friends, no reputation, and definitely no hockey career.
Then, after a game, he finds himself in the media scrum face-to-face with the one person he wanted for himself: Ilya Rozanov, the Boston Bears' star captain—victorious, infuriatingly handsome, and everything Shane remembers.
There's just one problem.
In this reality, Ilya Rozanov has never heard of him.- Language:
