    Summary

    Still looking at the screen, Model Man says, “What is your stop?”

    “Ochanomizu?”

    “Hm.”

    There is suddenly a finger scratching at the hair at the nape of Shane’s neck, just above his collar. Model Man is touching him and looking at the train stops and manages to appear so casual that Shane almost convinces himself it’s by accident. A second finger joins the first, and now they are massaging a little instead of just tickling his hair, and it’s definitely not by accident.

    “Get off with me at next stop,” Model Man says, brushing his knuckles up and down Shane’s neck.

    Shane quits hockey and moves to Japan right out of college, where he gets really fixated on the hot guy in the ad for cherry-blossom flavored beer on his train. And then, one day, hot guy is on his train.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is ashamed and humiliated after hooking up with Ilya in the penthouse is Las Vegas in 2014. They hadn't even kissed. He's had enough of whatever this is with Ilya. It's too hard. Too painful. Too confusing.

    So, he visits Lacuna, a place that promises to make him forget. Shane is wiped clean of every intimate moment he and Ilya shared, left only with the bland memories of hockey.

    When Ilya Rozanov faces off against Shane the next season, he meets Shane's eyes and sees Shane looking back at him like he's a stranger. Like he doesn't know him off the ice. Like he doesn't know what Ilya looks like when he comes.

    Horror-struck, Ilya spends the entire season spiraling. But when he learns what Shane did, he vows to do anything he can to get him back.

    Loosely inspired by Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander spends his life in control. A star hockey player, Canada’s Best. He's the man his teammates trust when everything is on the line and the face brands clamour to put in their campaigns. Shane is good at everything. Until he’s not.

    A sickness bleeds beneath his skin, a desperate craving to surrender. Terrified, he does what he does best: buries it until it bubbles to the surface…and someone sees.

    Ilya Rozanov is an expert of his craft at Vetrova House, a place that trains Dominants and Submissives. Competent and too perceptive, he’s also a retired Dominant who hasn’t taken a Submissive in years. For good reason. Caring for anyone is dangerous; he learned that when his life blew up in his face. But Ilya’s demons continue to haunt him, and this time, they come with a point to prove.

    When Shane applies, Ilya does the responsible thing: assesses him and recommends another Dominant. But something goes catastrophically wrong. The House has failed Shane once. Now he must decide if he can give Ilya the power to do it again.

    Summary

    When the latest round of college graduates joins Russian-owned finance firm Avangard Omsk, CTO Ilya Rozanov finds himself completely knocked on his ass.

    Thanks to Elena Rygg — his friend, Svetlana’s VP of HR — and her concept of new hire lunches where eager new hires sit down for lunch with their hiring managers and the C-Suite during their first week, Ilya found himself sitting next to their CFO, ancient Scott Hunter, and across from what was, frankly, the most beautiful man he had ever seen in his life.

    Fresh-faced college graduate Shane Hollander joined Avangard Omsk mostly due to their incredible benefits package and only partially due to the handsome man he’d seen on their leadership page.

    However, several years into their (unknown) mutual pining, disaster strikes when their company is purchased by the Canadian-owned Centaur Group. Without a Russian company to work for, Ilya no longer has a valid work visa and with Centaur Group’s new benefit plan, Shane finds himself unable to afford his necessary migraine medicine.

    If only there was a mutually beneficial solution to their problems…

    Summary

    ‘You could come out,’ Shane said eagerly.

    ‘What?’

    ‘Come out, you know, tell everyone that you’re in a relationship with a man. Then you wouldn’t be able to go back to Russia, and your family would leave you alone.’ It was perfect.

    But Rozanov was shaking his head. ‘Risk is too big,’ he said. ‘Without Raiders contract, my visa will change, maybe I do not even get to stay in America. If I burn bridges with Russia, could be very bad.’

    ‘Oh.’ Shane thought for a minute. ‘What about Canadian residency? Then you’d get healthcare and be able to play for any of the leagues, or do something else entirely if you need to.’

    Rozanov looked confused. ‘I would have to play for Canadian team, maybe, to get Canadian citizenship, live in Canada, I don’t know how many years would take. Would be dream only.’

    Shane was terrified and excited at the same time as the rest of the idea fell into place in his mind. ‘What if we got married?’ he asked, stomach fluttering. ‘You’d get a Canadian passport, you’d be safe, no matter what happens.’
