Summary
Mike Ross is finally out of prison. But freedom isn’t as simple as stepping outside the gates. Haunted by the trauma of his time inside and unresolved grief over his relationship with Rachel, Mike struggles to find his footing in a world that’s moved on without him.
Harvey Specter is there to pick him up, but Harvey carries his own baggage—his mother’s betrayal, years of buried anger, and guilt that he never fully allowed himself to feel.
As they lean on each other for support, both men are forced to confront everything they’ve avoided for years: trust, grief, betrayal, and the painful process of healing.
A slow-burn love story about processing trauma, finding peace, and choosing each other—fully and completely.

Summary
Shane is conscious for the entire crash. That doesn’t mean he remembers it.
The brain has a funny way of blocking out trauma like this, of shielding the body from things that would hurt it to remember. But Shane’s ears are still ringing with the sounds of metal crunching and tires screeching, even if there’s a large blank space in his head where the memory should be. The crash was a blur, a blink. Terribly long and then suddenly over, a heavy silence now descending over the eerie stillness.
Or:
A week after returning from their honeymoon, Shane gets in a car accident that threatens the future he and Ilya so painstakingly fought to build.

Summary
"Do you think there's something wrong with me?" Shane broke the silence, lifting his gaze slightly. Ilya frowned and shook his head no immediately. "Ilya... there has to be. These meltdowns or whatever they are aren't normal. I know that."
"Not being 'normal' doesn't mean you have a problem, Shane," Ilya countered softly, resting his chin against his husband's temple, settling him even closer against his body.
"I'm sorry..." Shane's voice came out small. His unfocused gaze wandered around the room while his fingers mechanically scratched under Anya's chin. She was now blinking slowly, surrendering to sleep.
"For what?"
"It's just..." Shane let out a shaky sigh. "You're the one with depression. I'm the one who should be taking care of you, not the other way around. Having these meltdowns..."
