    Summary

    Shane took a deep breath. "So, I’ve been texting this girl Rose. And she asked for a picture of me in my underwear. But I… I haven’t done that before.”

    He gulped back the shame, feeling unforgivably inexperienced. “So I have no idea how to do it right, and I thought you might… I dunno, have some tips or something.”

    He shrugged it off, like it really didn’t matter. But inside he was a big ball of nerves. Would Ilya think he was a total idiot for not knowing how to do this himself by now?

    Ilya's grin deepened, and it looked like he was growing fangs right before Shane’s eyes. “You have come to the right place, my friend. I will turn you into sexy selfie expert in no time.”

    Shane gulped, already beginning to regret this.

     

    Or: Shane needs all the help he can get when it comes to taking a sexy selfie. Luckily, his roommate Ilya is happy to teach him everything he knows.

    Summary

    A freezing Boston sets the stage for a case that shouldn’t exist: a young man from the city’s elite found dead in the slums, under circumstances far too neat to be real. Detective Shane Hollander - methodical, unyielding, sharp enough to read a crime scene like a coded message - needs only a glance to sense that someone is steering the investigation off course.

    Every lead points to the Raiders and their leader, Ilya Rozanov: a master of high‑stakes robberies, arrogant, unpredictable, dangerously magnetic. The perfect suspect, maybe too perfect. The deeper Shane digs, the clearer it becomes that a powerful hand is shaping the narrative, deciding who gets blamed and who stays untouchable.

    As he follows trails that never make it into official reports - underground cage fights, glittering galas, unlikely alliances - Shane finds himself pulled into a maze of corruption and buried truths. And at the center of it stands Rozanov, a man who should be just a name on a file but the closer Shane gets to the truth, the more he feels another pull - dangerous, unexpected, and impossible to ignore.

    or: Detective Shane and Gangster Ilya. A hard-boiled detective story. Rivalry, smuttyness, romance.

    Summary

    Canada’s golden boy Shane Hollander gets drafted to the Ottawa Centaurs and ends up sharing an apartment - and way too much tension - with his captain, Ilya Rozanov. A private contract keeps their arrangement “simple,” but jealousy, soft moments, and one kiss he can’t forget makes pretending impossible. On the ice they’re electric, but off it, they’re one breath away from breaking.

    Summary

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Summary

    Cliff watches him squeeze the phone between his cheek and shoulder, lifting the jersey over his head as he continues to talk, a bit distracted now by the multitasking.

    “And was good practice, you know, for when I am your husband."

    Immediately, the locker room goes dead silent. And so does Rozanov, in fact.

    In which Ilya accidentally calls himself Shane's future husband in the middle of the Bears locker room. Worse still, they're not even dating yet.
