    Summary

    Shane Hollander knows he’s not a small guy. Years of hockey and workouts have built up his muscles, and lucky genetics from his father’s side places him just shy of six feet. He’s checked hockey players half a foot and several pounds more than him, knocked Scott Hunter into the ice in the one fight he’s ever actually thrown hands in. But as much as Shane loves the game, the fast movements, passes, and team camaraderie, there were times where he could only feel regret at following the path of athletic fame. He puts on the media smile he practices in the mirror as he brushes his hair each day, uses the bright lights of press conferences to erase his view of the audience, and keeps his answers simple and focused on hockey.

    The number of people outside the arena still makes him feel crushed in on all sides, small. Eyes trained on his face, cameras flashing, pens and cell phones being passed into his hands. The itch of it all settles under his skin.

    @OttawaPoliceDispatch: Police have been dispatched to a house alarm in Galetta, On. Possible break in, destruction of property.

    @OttawaOfficialPoliceDepartment: Recent Missing Persons Report filed for Shane William Hollander at 9:25 pm

    Summary

    Shane heard the blade coming down right by his ear. The schlick of it as it sliced through the ice, echoing in the arena, the place eerily silent in a way Shane had never witnessed before.

    Then, a gasp.

    Or, Shane Hollander takes a blade to the throat.

    Four years ago, seventeen-year-old Alex was kidnapped by a man he was supposed to trust. In the aftermath, he disappeared from the spotlight with his father, quietly rebuilding his life. Now, his mother insists it's time for him to return to the world, starting with a very public reappearance at Prince Phillip’s royal wedding.

    There, Alex meets Prince Henry, and the connection between them is instant and electric. But as their relationship deepens, Alex finds himself torn between falling for a closeted royal and preparing to face the man who once shattered his world in court.

    Then, just as he begins to reclaim his voice and his future, a shocking revelation from his mother about the truth behind his abduction threatens to upend everything. Can Alex and Henry hold on to each other through the storm, or will the weight of secrets and scars be too much to bear?
