    Summary

    Shane Hollander works at a coffee shop, plays hockey, keeps his head down, and doesn’t ask questions he doesn’t need the answers to.

    So when a new regular starts showing up—quiet, watchful, Russian-accented, and conducting invitation-only meetings in the back—Shane notices. When that same man takes an unsettling interest in Shane’s closing shifts, his routines, and his safety, Shane does what feels sensible: he adjusts his behavior and keeps his mouth shut.

    Ilya Rozanov orders an Americano. He reads, but only in Russian. He worries when people work late alone.

    They are operating with very different definitions of danger.

    If he didn’t ask questions, he couldn’t be lied to.

    The rules were simple.

    1. Do not ask questions you don’t need the answer to.
    2. Do not share personal information freely.
    3. Do not be alone with Ilya Rozanov.
    4. Do not give him a reason to think you’re afraid.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov's life was busy, boring, and most of the time exhausting. He had too much to do, and usually not quite enough hours in the day to get it all done.

    So when he starts visiting a new coffee shop and sees the cute barista—strong, handsome, genuine, and freckled—he notices. Without even planning for it, his routine changes when he can’t help but be fascinated by Shane’s long work hours, strict routines, and reckless disregard for his own safety.

    Shane Hollander makes him Americanos. He blushes and stutters and stammers his way through their interactions. He’s wound so tightly that Ilya can’t help but want to unravel him.

    There are no rules for this.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander wakes up after the company gala with three problems:

    He has no memory of most of the night.
    There is a few second hand accounts that paint different pictures of what the night turned into, none of them particularly flattering.
    He may—or may not—have woken up naked (!!) in the home of his long-time rival, Ilya Rozanov.

    Unfortunately, the more he learns about what happened, the worse it gets.

    Because it turns out there might have been a confession. and it might have been mutual?
    And there might have been sex that definitely was.

    Now Shane has to figure out whether this is a career-ending mistake, an HR violation waiting to happen—

    —or the best decision he’s ever made.
