    Summary

    Shane wished that he and Ilya had woken up that morning in Saskatchewan in 2008. Before anyone knew who they were. Before they became numbers instead of men. Shane would have kissed him against the rusted sheet metal and the No Smoking sign. He wouldn't have wasted any moment in any timeline. He'd go back again and again, kiss him and beg for forgiveness. And when he had been through every possible iteration, he would find a way to go back, fall to Ilya's feet and beg for forgiveness one more time. Then he would look into a mirror and try to ask for his own. But he hadn’t. And they couldn’t. This was the hand they had been dealt.

    Or: It's January, 2019 and Shane Hollander can see that the world's view of Rozanov is slowly killing the real Ilya. Roger Crowell orders them to be quiet and capitalise off the attention using Shane's golden image, which fans think is being ruined by association. Shane decides there is no better way to free Ilya now than to simply become the biggest PR nightmare the MLH has ever faced. Shane thinks it might even be fun.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane have always played the long game.

    Stay quiet. Stay careful. Stay together, just not publicly. Not yet.

    In ten years, they’ll have everything they want.

    Then Ilya gets a call from Russia.

    Within days, their carefully planned future is replaced with something much more immediate: grief, guardianship, and a four-year-old girl who needs them now.

    Suddenly, “later” isn’t an option anymore.

    everything you’ve ever dreamed of disappearing when you wake up

    Summary

    When a human head of state publicly insults the ancient Vampire King, the price of peace is a political union. Shane Hollander, high school teacher and assistant hockey coach, is one of the only humans in the world with a rare bloodline. He’s given an impossible choice: become a Tribute Consort to vampire Crown Prince Ilya, or watch the human race burn.

    Their union is meant to be a symbolic gesture to prevent war. Shane tells himself he can survive the vampire court's deadly politics, the centuries-old intrigue, and the weight of being a living apology for his species' mistakes.

    What he doesn't expect is the way Ilya looks at him when no one else is watching.

    When a secret society abducts Shane to drain and auction his rare blood to the highest bidder, the carefully constructed facade shatters. The vampire Crown Prince the world fears isn't cold at all, he's been holding something far more dangerous in check. And what Ilya is willing to destroy to reclaim his Consort will reshape the balance of power between their worlds.
