    Summary

    If Shane didn’t know better and believed in the existence of mermaids, he’d swear this man was the real deal. Each scale on his silicone tail is carefully painted, and looks to be hand sculpted. The webbing of each of the five fins on the suit is fine and delicate, floating through the water and creating an ethereal effect. The man has even used make up to blend the scales into his hips, making a seamless line between his silicone tail and his skin. He’s even gone so far as to attach what Shane has to assume are silicone gills to his ribs which also flutter in the manmade current of the tank as he laughs and twirls for the children, then swims up to the surface and breaks for air.

    Okay, maybe Shane has been standing here mesmerized. Whoops.

    OR, Shane is a marine biologist who works at the Ottawa Aquarium. Ilya is an aquarium mermaid, and Shane is absolutely mesmerized.

    Summary

    The summer before his second season with the Centaurs, Shane Hollander is supposed to have his body and his life under control. He’s married, training hard, doing everything right.

    So the nausea, the bone-deep exhaustion, the aching chest and low back, the way his body feels wrong in all the old ways he thought he’d outrun?

    He blames stress. He blames the season. He blames anything but himself.

    Shane knows his body. He has spent years fighting for it.

    But one rushed doctor’s visit turns into an ultrasound, and suddenly he’s thirty-plus weeks pregnant with a baby he didn’t plan, didn’t want, and doesn’t know how to make peace with.

    Now he can’t outrun anything anymore.
    Not the dysphoria. Not the fear of the league finding out.
    Not the family he’s already carrying.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is just trying to survive NYU biochemistry, hockey practice, and the graveyard shift at 7-Eleven. He's too exhausted to notice that his new regular customer is Russian mafia, or that Ilya's interest in him goes beyond terrible coffee and cookies.

    When Ilya hands him a $10,000 designer scarf and matching gloves, Shane doesn't panic. He sells them for next month's rent. Any normal person would be terrified. Instead, Shane uses the leftover money to buy a Hello Kitty watch, pastel pink, childish, utterly incongruous with the danger circling him. He wears it to his next night shift without irony or apology.

    Ilya notices immediately. He is fascinated.
