Blades of Glory
Irina Rozanova-Hollander had been told she was wearing the blades of glory all of her life. As the only daughter to hockey legends Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, she had always been in the spotlight, just like her dads and as Canada's most prestigious teen athlete in figure skating, she also finds her greatest passion on the ice. It all would have been so perfect, only if it wasn't for that one junior hockey player making her life hell, and an unknown number watching her every move.
Our Little Family - Heated Rivalry
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.
Little Bear
Lena Irina Rozanov is the adopted daughter of Ilya Rozanov. Her mother died in the hospital bed shortly after giving birth to her. After that, her father turned to drugs and eventually died from an overdose. At that time, Ilya Rozanov was nineteen years old. He saw an advertisement about her in the newspaper. Because of his own past, he knew he had to do something for this little girl. Two weeks later, they saw each other for the first time at the adoption center. Ilya was certain that this girl would turn his whole life upside down. His career in Boston had only just begun, but he was willing to do anything to call this girl his daughter. And so it happened: less than a month later, he suddenly had a two-year-old child living in his home. In the beginning, things were a bit difficult, but as time passed they slowly began to get used to each other. P.S This story takes place during the same time period as Heated Rivalry, but it will not always follow the exact same timeline.Complete
Bittersweet - Heated Rivalry
Sienna Marie Laurent has spent her whole life moving from one foster home to the next, learning that trust is dangerous and home is just a word. At sixteen, she's sharp-tongued, elite at soccer, and not about to let anyone get close-especially two strangers who suddenly decide they want her. Shane Hollander is calm, patient, and determined. A Japanese-Canadian professional hockey player, he's seen his fair share of challenges-but nothing could prepare him for a stubborn French teen who refuses to let anyone in. When he sets his mind on adopting Sienna, there's no turning back. Ilya Rozanov is tall, intimidating, and completely uninterested in children-until Shane insists. A Russian hockey star with piercing blue eyes and a personality that clashes with Sienna's at every turn, he's only here for Shane. But Sienna's attitude sparks something in him he doesn't want to admit. Thrown together by fate, forced into a world they didn't choose, Sienna must navigate the impossible: new families, icy stares, and hearts she didn't know she was about to break. Will she find a home with the people who refuse to leave her side? Or will her walls be too high for anyone to climb?
The Hollander-Rozanovs
Alexander "Sasha" Petrov never expected a future. Not a real one. Growing up in a Russian orphanage, Sasha learned one thing early-no one stays. People leave. Promises break. And if you want to survive, you don't depend on anyone except yourself. Except... he never really had just himself. He had Zoya. His little sister. Soft in a world that tried to harden her. Too kind for a place like that. And the only reason Sasha ever cared about anything at all. He built his entire life around one promise-protect her. No matter what. No matter who. No matter how much it costs him. And then they show up. Shane and Ilya. Two men who don't belong in a place like that. Too calm. Too certain. Too... different. Zoya trusts them almost instantly-which is already a problem. Sasha doesn't trust them at all-which might be a bigger one. But when a single promise is made-"I'll come back"-everything starts to change. Because this time... They actually do.

What begins as a simple invitation to a Centaures practice slowly becomes something much bigger - forcing Shane and Ilya to confront their own pasts, their future, and the question they've only ever asked in theory: Could they really be parents?
