Heated Rivalry AU Hockey has always been Ilya Rozanov's life. As captain of the Boston Raiders, he knows how to fight, how to lead, and how to win. What he doesn't know is how to stop when a single hit leaves his career hanging by a thread. Facing months of painful rehab and the terrifying possibility that he may never return to the ice, Ilya finds himself relying on Shane Hollander - the team physiotherapist - whose steady hands and quiet understanding make recovery anything but simple. Healing was never supposed to feel this...good.
