Summary
Shane Hollander is good at his job. He's a confident dancer at a club that's gotten more dangerous since Ilya Rozanov bought it three months ago—but Shane doesn't mind the edge. What he doesn't notice is that his new boss is absolutely fixated on him.
Ilya tries everything to get close: coffee, conversation, carefully chosen gifts. Shane thinks he's just a really attentive employer. It takes threats, violence, and Hayden literally spelling it out before Shane realizes Ilya wants more than just a professional relationship.

Summary
Whose ears would burn for Ilya? Not even a brother’s. Svetlana’s would, but she stands entrenched in the bitter construction that set him down this path in the first place. Ilya’s love for her can’t bridge worlds. Ilya knows the only reason his chest hasn’t collapsed into a black hole is someone else entirely, living behind his sternum and propping him up from the inside.
When Alexei dumps more on Ilya than he can handle, Ilya looks for an escape in someone else.

Summary
“Did you just tell a customer their outfit was structurally unsound?”
“It was.”
If you ask Shane Hollander, he'll tell you the bar's highball glasses are committing a war crime against sparkling water, your outfit has at least three structural flaws, and no, he is NOT blushing, it's just warm in here, and no, he was NOT staring at the new bartender through the gap in the ficus leaves, he was RESTING HIS EYES, and also, for the record, he doesn't care that the bartender has hazel eyes the color of warm stone in late-afternoon light or that his hands can untangle Shane's knotted fingers like they were made for exactly that purpose. He's a particularly opinionated artist with a sunset to paint. He doesn't have time for this. (He makes so much time for this.)
A neurodivergent artist with the social grace of a startled deer + a bartender with the patience of a saint + a best friend who lives for drama = a love story told in fumbled words, shared sunsets, and the quiet understanding that sometimes the most profound conversations happen without speaking a word.
Or: Shane Hollander has zero filter, zero social skills, and is definitely in love with the new bartender his mother hired for their family bar

Summary
Being an autistic Russian boy was a problem. Ilya’s English was bad; his social skills were even worse. There was a constant, lingering feeling of never fitting in—neither with his family nor with the other players. Rozanov was good on ice, but not confident enough to believe it.
And then there was this boy. Bold. Charismatic. Always watching him.
Shane Hollander never looked away. He got under Ilya’s skin so deeply Rozanov couldn’t get him out of his head.
(OR: Reverse AU! shy Rozanov × confident Hollander)
