    Summary

    "In there, you belong to me. Out here, you’re just my winger. Don't make the mistake of thinking those two things are the same."

    Shane Hollander was the golden boy, the 16-year-old phenom who was used to being the most impressive person in the room—until Ilya Rozanov walked in. Ilya doesn't just play hockey; he invades spaces, demands submission, and turns Shane’s world into a siege of "telepathic" passes on the ice and bruising encounters in the dark. It was never supposed to be a romance. It was always going to be a collision.

    Summary

    Life feels so chaotic for Shane sometimes, with all the loud noises and the unwritten rules he’s expected to follow, even though no one ever taught them to him. It’s why the bookstore feels more like home to him than anywhere else in Boston. It doesn’t ask Shane to be anything other than himself. Doesn’t ask for any more than he can give.

    He can just exist here.

    Shane likes slow, likes taking his time. And Ilya - without saying or doing anything in particular - makes Shane feel like that’s okay. Like he isn’t doing anything wrong by standing still sometimes.

    (Or, Shane works in a bookstore, Ilya plays hockey, and they both go to the same college. They fall in love in every universe.)

    Summary

    Five times Ilya asks Shane to dance.
    On a dock under candlelight, when love is still too new and too frightening to name properly.
    On a balcony in Brazil, when the whole world has finally been allowed to know.
    In their kitchen, on the worst night of a good year, when love had to be fiercer than comfort.
    In their living room after the last game has already been played.
    At their daughter’s wedding, in front of the life they built together.
    And once, years later, Shane asks Ilya.
    Just for one more dance.

    Summary

    “We could’ve had everything,” Shane admitted softly.

    The confession hurt more than he expected.

    “A real relationship. A family. A future.” His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. “But dreams eventually end.” A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. “And this is me waking up.”
