What this book is about
Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been rivals for years — the golden Canadian center and the brilliant Russian winger. Off the ice, they keep running into each other. Reid's MM hockey romance is widely considered one of the genre's finest: emotionally complex, explicitly sexual, and genuinely moving.
