On Thin Ice - Shane and Ilya

Years of secrets. A thousand stolen touches. One choice that could burn it all down.
One conversation changed everything.
"I should marry Svetlana."
With those four words, Ilya drew a line in the sand. So, Shane crossed it.
Ilya wanted a marriage of convenience. Shane gave him a marriage of spite.

What happens when two rivals realize that winning means losing each other? Shane and Rose are the "it" couple. Ilya and Svetlana are the gold standard. But behind closed locker room doors, the truth is a bruise that won't heal.

A story of two men who chose their careers over their hearts, and the disciplined, beautiful, tragic lie they agreed to live until the final buzzer sounds.
