Summary
When Ilya Rozanov helps the heir to the Russian throne escape on the night the monarchy is overthrown, he never learns whether Shane Hollander survived.
Ten years later, lies are all Ilya has left. Now a con man with nothing left to lose, he plans one final escape. Alongside his partner in crime, Svetlana, he convinces a young man to impersonate the long-lost son of Yuna Hollander, who lives in exile in Paris.
But pretending to be a dead prince comes with consequences. Especially when the man sent to stop them is Ilya’s own brother.

Summary
Shane and Ilya are hockey’s power couple. They’re unstoppable on the ice, darlings in the press, icons of the newly inclusive NHL.
Ilya still isn’t satisfied. He needs the world to know Shane Hollander is his.
-OR-
Ilya takes Shane to a gay club and edges him within an inch of his life.

Summary
People like him for what his hands can do. A guy his size, with hands that big, and the son of a boxer too? He was born for this. At least that’s what people keep saying.
He does his best to be gracious. When somebody gives you a compliment, it’s rude not to say thank you.

Ryan thought he knew what it meant to be a man. Then Fabian came along and unraveled it all. He did it piece by piece, and all it took was his hands, his mouth, his eyes. An exploration of masculinity and love through the body.

Summary
There are three things everyone knew about Ilya Rozanov.
1. At the age of 12 his mother killed herself and Ilya found her.
2. 5 years later at the age of 17 Ilya tried to kill himself.
3. His father shipped him off to a mental hospital in the middle of nowhere Canada because he was an embarrassment and couldn’t bare the thought of someone from his blood being so weak in the same country as him.What Ilya didn’t know was when Shane Hollander arrived two months ago, he would fall hard for the boring Canadian with the most beautiful freckles.

Summary
America tastes like coca-cola.
Artificial flavor and fizz bursting on Ilya’s tongue, so much sugar it makes his teeth ache. Bright red cans with a giant logo splashed across them. Loud, too—hissing when he pops the cap, and then a staticky whirr of bubbles that goes on buzzing as the cold aluminum sweats on the counter.
And that’s America: bright, loud, full of sugar and caffeine and chemicals. Pure junk that kisses back when it hits his tongue and sparkles down his throat. Once he moves to Boston, Ilya orders it everywhere. He cannot get enough.

Summary
Shane Hollander is going to murder his agent.
And he means that literally. Because his agent is the reason he’s currently wearing a hot mic during Hockey Night in Canada. Against the Ottawa Centaurs. Against Ilya.
Ilya, who has no filter. Ilya, who thinks workplace professionalism is a hilarious suggestion for other people. Ilya, who has spent a decade perfecting the art of saying absolutely unhinged things to Shane on the ice, safe in the knowledge that nobody can hear him.
Ilya, who definitely doesn’t know about the microphone.
What follows is sixty minutes of Shane’s life flashing before his eyes while his secret boyfriend enthusiastically discusses their sex life, their broken furniture, and exactly what he wants to do to Shane after the game — all broadcast to millions of viewers.
The problem? Shane can’t get a word in edgewise to warn him.

Summary
Ilya is not going to steal Shane Hollander's dog. That would be illegal. And wrong. And someone would probably find out and make Ilya give him back.
So. Not stealing.
But there is nothing wrong with giving Chernysh all the pats and treats that he deserves, is there?
Nothing wrong with encouraging Chernysh to spend more and more time at Ilya's house until he doesn't even remember who Hollander is.
Because Hollander is stupid and boring and does not deserve a dog as good as Chernysh. No, he doesn't, does he? Because Chernysh is the best boy in the whole world, yes he is.

Summary
“You are planning to rob me or what?” He hears Rozanov call, and he can’t help but smile slightly even as he rolls his eyes, closing the door to the linen closet and feeling strangely lighter than when he opened it, reassured that he’s just trying to read into a blank page, that today doesn’t mean anything more than Rozanov doesn’t mind him being around, which is strangely flattering.
“I don’t know,” he calls back. “Don’t Russians like diamonds and fur and stuff? Where should I start looking if I want to know what my options are?”
He hears Rozanov laugh, and it makes him smile.
When he joins him in the living room once more, Rozanov tugs him down to lean against him again. Shane goes easier this time, settling into it, knowing it doesn’t mean anything other than the fact that he just happens to be the closest warm body, the person on Rozanov’s roster who filled today’s slot.
(the tuna meltdown doesn't happen) (this does not mean they get ANY better at communication)
(or: how shane didn't realize he had a boyfriend for several months)
