Summary
In the soft edges of the offseason after the cottage, where midnight airport pick-ups, private rink practices, takeout food, and the warmth of a borrowed T‑shirt live, Shane and Ilya build something tender and secret, something that feels safe.
But beneath the surface, something in Shane is shifting. A slow unraveling he refuses to name. Fatigue that lingers, bruises that bloom too easily, a body that won’t obey the discipline he’s built his life on no matter how much he tries to control it.
When everything finally breaks, their world tilts. Love that suddenly has to hold more weight than either of them ever wanted to imagine.
Or
Shane's battle with cancer.

Summary
In the medieval kingdoms of the New World, power is built through alliances. Omegas born into royal blood are often promised in marriage to secure peace between nations.
Prince Shane Hollander, a 21-year-old omega and heir of the Kingdom of Montreal, has always believed he would marry for love. But when the powerful northern empire of Russia proposes a political union, his parents see an opportunity that could strengthen their kingdom for generations.
The proposed mate: Prince Ilya Rozanov, a 23-year-old alpha warrior known across the northern lands for his ferocity in battle.
To secure the alliance, Shane must leave everything he has ever known and travel across the sea to a cold kingdom where he does not speak the language… to marry an alpha he has never met.- Language:

Summary
Shane Hollander is the number two overall NHL draft pick and a newly minted Montreal Voyageur. He’s also laser focused on his goals: being the best by beating the best. For him, this means a continued rivalry with number one draft pick—and new Ottawa Centaur—Ilya Rozanov. But when a problem with Rozanov’s immigration paperwork threatens his future in the NHL, what does that mean for Shane’s own career? He can’t risk finding out…so they get married. Just for immigration. A fast, practical, mutually beneficial solution.
No one will ever suspect, let alone find out, that the NHL’s greatest rivals are secretly married. And there’s certainly no risk of feelings getting involved. They have a game plan.

Summary
After the longest season of his career, Ilya retreats to the cottage with Shane, expecting rest, recovery, and a month of stolen peace. Instead, exhaustion lingers. Small things feel wrong. And the body that has always carried him through pain begins to falter in ways he can’t explain.
As concern grows and outside eyes begin to notice, the life Ilya and Shane have carefully built—careers, borders, futures—starts to feel fragile. When a medical crisis shatters their summer before answers arrive, love is no longer something they protect quietly. It becomes something they fight with.
A story about what happens when the body speaks before you’re ready to listen, and the people who refuse to let you face it alone.

Summary
The spring was Shane’s favorite season. The sun was warm yet the breeze held a slight chill from the winter recently passed on. The flowers that began to bloom from the ground richly soaked by rain were the most vibrant.
It was on a lush spring day that his life ended.
His heart may have continued to beat even after the brutish savages descended upon their home, but his life as he knew it had truly ended.
-------
Shane is the son of his village's leader, but when a group of brutish invaders threated to kill everyone he loves, Shane is forced to make a tough decision. His decision leads him to the harsh, cold court of Imperial Russia. He is left trying to survive as a political hostage as the Russian prince who is responsible for his capture can't seem to leave him alone.
Ilya has never met someone like Shane. So innocent and open. The boy wears his heart on his sleeve, despite trying to hide it. The prince had never seen someone so pure and knew he had to have Shane. Getting Shane to open up and let Ilya shower him in affection seems to be more difficult than expected.
It isn't until a spark sets off a catalyst of events in the Russian Palace that change their relationship forever.
