They’ve made a career on their legendary rivalry, but when the skates come off, the heat between them is undeniable. When Ilya realizes he wants more than a few secret hookups, he knows he must walk away. The risk is too great.

He’d endured two periods and twelve minutes of one of the most frustrating hockey games he’d ever played. It should have been a glorious win at home for his Montreal Voyageurs against their archrivals, the Boston Bears. Instead it had been a grueling humiliation, and the score stood at 4–1 for Boston, with less than eight minutes left on the clock. Shane had had no less than five beautiful scoring chances. He’d taken shots that should never have missed. But they had. And the Bears had capitalized on the Voyageurs’mistakes. One man had capitalized more than anyone. The most hated man in Montreal: Ilya Rozanov. The near century-old rivalry between the Montreal and Boston NHL teams had, over the past six seasons, become personified by Hollander and Rozanov. Their intense animosity was clear even to the fans in the farthest, cheapest seats. Hollander bent at the face-off circle now, facing Rozanov as the referee prepared to drop the puck after the Russian’s second goal of the game.“Having a good night?” Rozanov asked cheerfully. His hazel eyes sparkled the way they always did when he was talking shit. “Fuck you,” Hollander growled. “Still time for a hat trick, I think,” Rozanov mused, his English barely comprehensible between his thick accent and his mouth guard.“Should I do it now, or wait until last minute? More exciting that way, yes?” Hollander gritted his teeth around his own mouth guard and didn’t answer. “Shut up, Rozanov,” the referee said.“Last warning.” Rozanov stopped talking, but he managed to find an even more effective way of getting under Hollander ’s skin: he winked. And then he won the face-off. “Fuck!” Jean-Jacques Boiziau, the Voyageurs’ giant Haitian-Canadian defenseman, hurled his stick at the wall of their dressing r
