    Summary

    Shane Hollander was doing fine. He was about to start his fourth year at Concordia University in Montreal, where he was now Captain of the Stingers, he had a solid group of friends who actually knew he was gay and were cool about it, and this time next year he would be playing for the Metros.

    He was doing great, really.

    Or he had been, until none other than Ilya Rozanov, the 28 year old KHL player who had recently disapeared from the world of hockey, became his professor and mentor.

    or: Coach Theriault inadvertently sets up professor-Ilya and student/hockey captain-Shane.

    “This is—This is Jane. I swear to god if you don’t open the door right now, I’m leaving. I’m not staying in the streets waiting at your front door, you asshole. Do you think it’s fun? Because I don’t—[Sound of a door creaking open] Ah, hey—”

    Shane and Ilya's relationship, viewed through unanswered voicemails.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the guy standing beside every wedding, delivering every speech, and fixing every crisis. He’s indispensable to everyone else’s happiness… except no one ever really asks what he wants for his own.

    Until Ilya Rozanov, a cynical journalist with a dismissive view of marriage and everything it represents, crosses paths with Shane and decides to use his life as the subject of a feature on the “eternal best man,” a stepping stone toward more serious journalistic work, without Shane ever suspecting his intentions.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander doesn’t do love at first sight.

    Shane does logistics. Reason. Planning. He thinks everything over at least twice, before making a decision. That’s just how he is wired.

    So when he sees a head of golden curls and a blinding smile for the first time and he feels his stomach do a flip, he’s not prepared. In the slightest.

    Or

    Shane is a university student and volunteers at a kids' ice hockey summer camp every summer. This summer is different, because there's a new volunteer and his name is Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    Ilya's on a hotel roof in the middle of the night. The draft is tomorrow, and he can't sleep.

    That's when Shane Hollander appears, but he's somehow thirty-five years old, and acting very friendly... and he's wearing glasses. This must be a dream — mustn't it?
