Aiden Myers never expected when he started the second year of his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Montreal that he'd be scouted by the MLH to take photos for their promotional media frenzy of the season, featuring the two up-and-coming rookies, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rosanov. Nor did he expect the two rookies to be so intriguing to his usually nonchalant self. Ilya Rosanov and Shane Hollander have more than enough to deal with as rookies. Pitted against each other as rivals for publicity, the two must navigate the world of hockey with thousands of eyes watching their every move. To make it even harder, the two have such a deep simmering chemistry underneath the surface, which only seems to intensify when the cute mysterious photographer hired to shadow them has more than just an eye for detail. What happens when Aiden's presence between the two famous hockey players unlocks something more complex than the three men could have ever imagined was possible? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a polyamorous story between three men. BxBxB All rights and reserves go to the original creators. Based on the HBO series Heated Rivalry and the book Long Game by Rachel Reid. I only take credit for my OCs.

WARNING: this takes place after the second book about Ilya and Shane by Rachel Reid. If you haven't read the books 'heated rivalry' and 'the long game' you might not understand this storyline. Two years after their wedding, Shane and Ilya both decided that it's time for them to start their own family. They knew it was gonna be a long process, but they knew they'd face it together. And then... there were Maeve and Elli. While Elli was a happy Child, singing all the frozen songs while walking to kindergarten, Maeve was her sisters opposite. And she was NOT a child anymore. She wouldn't bother to stay at the hollanovs for long. She knew, it'd only be a matter of time for them to pick Elli but not Maeve.

Two hockey rivals. One tiny girl. Zero chill. When MHL enemies-to-lovers legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov become dads to Lillian Jane Rozanov-Hollander, they assume one thing: She's going to dominate hockey. Obviously. Before she can hold her own head up, she has custom skates. Before she can talk, they're arguing whether she'll represent Canada or Russia. (USA was eliminated immediately.) Every milestone becomes a competition. Every smile is contested. Every nap is tactical. But Lili has other plans. Instead of slapshots and body checks, she falls in love with edges, music, and ice dance. Now Shane is memorizing figure skating scoring breakdowns at 3AM. Ilya is screaming in the stands about artistry and insisting she "cannot be boring like Dada." And both of them are learning that raising a daughter might be harder than winning a championship. This is a story about: • competitive dads who love too hard • tiny skates and big drama • locker room chaos • rink-side arguments • international identity crises • and one girl who was never going to be ordinary Because she didn't grow up in a rivalry. She was born in one. And she's about to rewrite it.
