    Summary

    Shane Hollander has built his life around discipline, legacy, and winning—on the ice and off it. A secret relationship with his rival, Ilya Rozanov, was never meant to become more than stolen nights and unspoken promises. It was never meant to leave Shane staring at a positive pregnancy test in a hotel bathroom.

    When Ilya chooses to end things for what he believes is the greater good, Shane is left carrying a secret that could change everything, and a love that refuses to die quietly. As the season presses on and the ice becomes the only place they’re allowed to meet, both men must live with the cost of a decision made in grief, fear, and love.

    Some endings are clean. This one is anything but.
