    Summary

    Yuna’s entire body aches, and it would appear that her instincts were right— Rozanov is small, and he’s vulnerable, and he’s tired, and he needed somewhere safe to rest.

    And Yuna can’t help the weird sense that she’s honoured— her home was somewhere for Rozanov to go, even if she and David knew nothing about any of it, even if they still don’t, Shane knew it would be safe for Rozanov here. Shane told him to come home.

    Summary

    “Tell me, Ilya,” Svetlana continued, propping her elbow on the table, “what exactly do you think you’re doing?”

    That got his attention. Finally, he glanced at her, his expression unreadable. “Having a drink.”

    “Drooling over a boy—a stripper,” she corrected. “Every night. Like clockwork.”

    5 years ago, Ilya Rozanov inherited his fathers Casino.

    Now, he is the most dangerous man in the country.

    Summary

    Twirling. Always twirling.

    Whether on a stage or in the palm of someone’s hand, Shane Hollander was always caught in a dance.

    He knew it was what he was born to do—what he will spend the rest of his life doing.

    That is, until Ilya Rozanov.

    Summary

    Father Shane Hollander built his priesthood on routine and distance, convincing himself that quiet, methodical ministry was enough. But when Bishop Moretti dies, the careful structures Shane has hidden inside begin to crack. The new bishop arrives Friday. His name is Ilya Rozanov. He is twenty-eight. He is Russian. And somewhere in the churning of Shane's anxiety, beneath the catastrophizing and the insomnia, lives a fear that has nothing to do with disrupted schedules.

    When Ilya arrives, Shane's carefully constructed walls will finally meet someone willing to see through them.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is twenty-three, a student at McGill University's prestigious Physical Therapy program, and a part-time employee at a local, run-of-the-mill coffee shop. After a supposed one-night stand throws him completely off-balance, he finds himself drifting unwittingly towards a man who just might be the literal death of him.

    Ilya Rozanov is twenty-nine, heir to the family "business" in America, and currently staving off attacks from both his scheming brother and an annoyingly persistent FBI agent that seems hellbent on throwing the book at him. He is also quickly becoming obsessed with a boy whose very existence may be jeopardized by his presence alone.

    Too bad Shane is itching to be released from the ties that bind him to his boring life, no matter the cost. Too bad Ilya is selfish enough to cut him loose.

    Summary

    Ilya has learned how to survive by staying small, quiet, and obedient. When he ends up on an auction stage, he expects more of the same. Instead, Shane Hollander buys him for a reason no one in that room understands. Now Ilya has to learn something far more difficult than obedience: how to believe he’s safe.

    Summary

    "Why are you not scared?"

    "I am scared," Ilya admits. "I just am tired. Of hiding me. Of hiding you. Of hiding how much I love you. I want to go to the rink— how do you say it? Authenti."

    "Authentically," Shane supplies, automatically.

    "Yes. Authentically. I want to go to the rink authentically, as me," Ilya confirms.

    Ilya looks at Shane, pauses until Shane meets his eyes. "I want to say: I, Ilya Rozanov, love a man, and that man's name is Shane Hollander."

     

    -

    Or, sometimes it takes a little more time, and some courage, to be with the one you love.

    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.

    (Currently under major editing. Can still be read.)

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov, break out star of the hit show Skating Limits, has a problem. His stalker is escalating to violence and ruining the press tour for the new season. Naturally, his agent and childhood friend, Svetlana, has a solution to the problem: Shane Hollander, former Secret Service agent and private bodyguard.

    Shane, however, has his reservations about the job. He doesn't work with celebrities. Celebrities are security risks and they don't listen. So Ilya will have to play ball, or Shane will break their contract, leaving him exposed to the man hunting him.

    Despite the risks, they don't seem to be able to stay away from one another anyway. While Ilya contends with his growing feelings, Shane is more than ready to do whatever it takes to protect his principal.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander never got that concussion, and Ilya Rozanov breaks up with him. Shortly after, Shane suffers a career ending injury. They don’t speak again.

    Of course, stories don’t end like that. At least not theirs. When Shane adopts a little girl with familiar curls and deep blue eyes, Shane writes letters to Ilya, imagining he was with him, raising the girl together.

    Movers get things mixed up. Letters get sent. And after 4 years of no contact, Ilya moves to Ottawa to see Shane again. The only question is—will Shane let him in? Or is he still just as scared as he was in 2017?

    Summary

    No one wanted him there. And definitely not in their space.

    When Ilya Rozanov transfers from Boston to Montreal right after the start of the new semester, his reputation follows him straight onto campus. The hockey team knows who he is. The frat definitely knows who he is. And no one’s interested in getting close.

    So when his housing falls through at the last minute, it becomes a problem no one wants to deal with.

    Shane gets stuck with it, and tries to ignore his feelings.

    It kinda works. For a while.

    Because it’s one thing to ignore someone across the rink or in a lecture hall. It’s another to live with them. To notice things you weren’t meant to.

    This isn’t just a bad roommate situation anymore.

    Summary

    Anyway, Shane didn't remember exactly what was in the folder ... But he knew they were all good shots of him.

    He hastily clicked open the folder, his eyes barely glancing through the dozen or so shots there, vaguely registering a picture with a sunset background from his condo balcony, something of him laughing, a picture of him working at his laptop with his glasses on...

    The director called him again, and he shook his head, the photos blurring. Whatever. It would have to do.

    He clicked "select all," then the messages icon, then Rozanov's name. Hit send.

    Or: When never-hooked-up Shane and Ilya have to collaborate on a league charity project, Shane accidentally sends Ilya a nude.

    Summary

    “Rozanov needs a place to stay. His visa won’t allow him to go home to Russia over the break, and we don’t have the cash to put him in a hotel.”

    Did the Harvard dorms completely shut down over the winter break? What about the dining hall? Shane supposed he didn’t really know. He’d never stuck around to find out, when he was younger. 

    “Okay?” 

    Coach raised his eyebrows. “So, he’s staying with you.” 

    Shane’s eyes went wide. 

    “What?” 

    “Come on, Captain,” Wiebe looked down his nose at Shane. “Try not to look too thrilled.”

    or, Shane's a senior captain with an empty house over winter break. and Ilya's the freshman who will be crashing his Christmas.

    Summary

    Svetlana: Ilyusha, I have a proposition for you.

    Ilya: What?

    Svetlana: I have a friend - he is very sweet, very handsome. Realized he’s gay but is too nervous to date because he’s inexperienced in bed. Up for giving him some lessons? He’s not out. Would be DL.

    Ilya: No.

    Shane’s breath hitched. Why did he feel so disappointed? This was the best case scenario. Getting sex lessons from his hockey arch rival was the worst thing he could do. This was good. This was how it should be. And his name had never been said, so Rozanov was none the wiser–

    He yelped when he saw what Svetlana had responded with.

    Svetlana: It’s Shane Hollander.

    Ilya: Da. I will do it.

    Or; Ilya Rozanov gives Shane Hollander sex lessons. What could go wrong?
