    Summary

    Prince Ilya Rozanov likes slipping beyond the palace walls after midnight, trading his crown for the name Nikolai, a cloth merchant who drinks with blacksmiths and plays cards with vagrants. Among commoners, he is free—untitled, unguarded, unseen. On one such night, he meets Shane Hollander: disciplined, sharp-eyed, newly arrived in the capital. A card game becomes a challenge. The challenge becomes heat. By the end of the night, they choose each other without hesitation. It isn’t meant to be anything more. By morning, Shane is presented at court as the crown prince’s newly appointed personal guard. And the prince he is sworn to protect is the man who called himself Nikolai. Ilya, in turn, discovers that the stranger from the tavern is now bound to him by oath and duty. What should have ended at dawn refuses to. Despite the weight of their titles—and the scrutiny of a palace built on image, obedience, and control—they continue in secret. What begins as want deepens into something quieter, sharper, and far more dangerous. Because in Zakoria, the most scandalous thing a prince and his knight can share isn’t desire. It’s love.

    Summary

    Connor should've walked away the first time Hudson called him "Ilya" in bed.

    Over months of filming, press tours, and too many almost-moments, their connection grows into something impossible to ignore and impossible to define.

    Hudson believes love doesn’t need labels.
    Connor believes love means choosing someone.

    Somewhere between friendship, soulmates, jealousy, and one unforgettable night on live television, they will have to decide whether almost is enough.

    Or whether some love stories deserve a second ending.

    Dedication:
    For Hudson and Connor, for your friendship and the magic of Hudcon, which inspired so many of us in the Heated Rivalry world to find our own soulmates along the way

    Summary

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Summary

    He was going to die.

    He was actually going to die.

    The thought should send him into a panic. He should scream for help, cry, or do something. But instead, he just accepts it.

    This was it. This was how it ended. He’d become his mother after all.
