About The Long Game

To the world, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are rivals, but to each other they are everything. For ten years, they have been seeing each other and keeping their relationship a secret from friends, family, and the league. If Shane wants to stay at the top of his game, what he and Ilya share has to remain hidden. He loves Ilya, but he fears going public could ruin everything. Ilya is sick of secrets. Shane has become so good at hiding his feelings that Ilya sometimes questions if they even exist. The closeness, the intimacy, and even the risk that would come with being open about their relationship are all things Ilya wants. Now they must decide what matters most: hockey or love.
