Bostonraiders Stories

She was supposed to be the rookie neither of them noticed. Instead, she became the one thing Shane and Ilya could never agree to share. Twenty-one-year-old Izabela "Izzy" Mila Elisaveta Stoyanova arrives in Boston as Bulgaria's newest hockey prodigy, joining the Boston Pride with a reputation that seems almost impossible to live up to. Photographic memory. An extraordinary hockey IQ. A mind that moves faster than everyone around her. And an obsession with the game that borders on religious devotion. On the ice, Izabela is terrifyingly precise. Off it, she's quieter. Books are safer than people. Patterns make sense when emotions don't. Her black-framed glasses, French crown braid and ocean-blue eyes make her instantly recognisable, but she's far more comfortable disappearing into the library than standing beneath a spotlight. Then she meets Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. Except there's one problem. Shane and Ilya are already in love. Years of rivalry have concealed something neither man has ever been brave enough to name publicly. Behind closed doors, they have always tangled their hatred with devotion, and their competition has hidden something much softer. Izabela doesn't intend to become part of that equation. Neither does she expect to fall for them. And neither Shane nor Ilya expects the quiet Bulgarian rookie to become, somehow, the missing piece neither knew they were searching for. The hockey world has spent years watching Shane and Ilya fight. Nobody is prepared to watch them love. Especially not when Izabela gives them something neither of them has ever had before: a future that belongs to all three of them.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇: Shane and Ilya aren't the only Hollander and Rozanov hooking up every time they're in the same city. 𝐎𝐑 Ava Hollander and Radimir Rozanov are both well aware of their brothers having a secret forbidden relationship- and their brothers know that their supposedly "meaningless hookups" are much more than the two are willing to admit.

"We could've had everything," Shane admitted softly. The confession hurt more than he expected. "A real relationship. A family. A future." His eyes drifted toward the planes outside again before he exhaled slowly. "But dreams eventually end." A small, tired smile pulled at his mouth. "And this is me waking up."

Did you ever wonder what happened to Ilya when he was all alone in Boston? We know how he met Shane and what happened in Shane's life, but what was going on in Ilya's head? Care to find out? You're welcome! AI has been used for editing and proofreading.

Both boys have been in love with each other for years, they were open about it but never really explained what they were.

Ilya absolutely demolishes Shane (but he feels really bad about it afterwards).
