    Summary

    The prince's eyes met his, widened briefly, then flitted away as if he feared being caught looking at the other man.

    And there, that was it. This was his in. Ilya would know that look anywhere, it was desire, smothered and snuffed out so no one could see it. But Ilya had seen it, and that would be Prince Shane Hollander's downfall.

    The Union has high expectations for its agents, and no, Ilya didn't have a choice in becoming one. His father demanded it, and so he was.

    Now, Ilya would be forced to balance it all: jousting tournaments, being a knight captain, his family, loyalty to his homeland, and getting as close as he could to his people's enemy, the prince, Shane Hollander.

    Everything will go according to plan, of course.

    Summary

    Shane has always lived inside himself.

    Inside his head. Inside his routines. Inside the version of him everyone trusts to hold it all together. He has learned through the years how to be disciplined, successful, untochable—how to carry love and expectation withouth letting either slip.

    What he hasn’t learned is how to ask for help.

    Luckily, his boyfriend Ilya, who everyone believe is his rival, notices first. He starts to see the patterns Shane won’t name out loud and the silences that last a little too long. He loves Shane, and that means paying attention, even when what he finds is frightening, even when he struggles too.

    or

    Shane slowly develops an eating disorder during the time he and Ilya are secretly dating while still playing for Montreal and Boston, and Ilya is the first one to notice, and the first one to try to do something about it.

    Summary

    What if the Tuna Meltdown ended differently?

    What if Ilya's fear won?
    What if Ilya was the one who panicked and walked away? Before Shane could even call him his. A single step backward became a thousand miles between them.
    Shane was left standing and waiting for 3,650 sunrises, 120 months of silence.

    For 10 years of waiting.

    Summary

    Three things Shane Hollander didn't expect today:
    1. Posing as a sugar baby to pay off his debts.
    2. Sitting at the completely wrong table because of his dyslexia.
    3. Ending up having dinner with a golden-haired Greek god named Ilya, having absolutely no clue he's the biggest star in the NHL.

    One thing Ilya Rozanov didn't expect today:
    1. That his teammates' prank (sending him an escort) would turn out to be an adorably clumsy guy who speaks perfect French and shakes like a leaf under his touch.

    Summary

    “I think we need some rules for this year,” Shane admits. He knows it’s not fun or cool. It’s also the only way he’s going to be able to drive away from this ugly ass apartment and not have a panic attack.

    “Like your rules for loading the dishwasher?” Ilya teases, his thumb rubbing a gentle circle on the apple of Shane’s cheek. “No, No you would want something more serious.”

    Once Ilya told him he preferred to have hard conversations in person so that he could reach out and touch Shane. He said it was grounding and made him feel safe. Shane gets it. All of this is less scary when their knees are bumped together and Ilya’s hands are gently holding his head.

    “More like some guardrails to make sure your first year in Ottawa is a success.” It’s a cop out. He wants rules to be sure that come next summer they are just like this with a few more memories thrown in for good measure.

    Or: After a year of living in different countries Ilya has successfully been signed with the Ottawa Centaurs. Now both he and Shane have to learn to navigate what it's means when long distance doesn't involve plane rides and stolen nights while Ilya establishes roots in Shane's boring hometown.
