    Summary

    Shane Hollander agrees to an arranged marriage because refusing could start a war. He expected a transactional relationship, minimal emotional involvement, and maybe some occasional awkward small talk.

    Instead he gets a six-foot-three stupidly attractive Russian alpha who is apparently determined to follow Shane around campus like an overprotective guard dog.

    meanwhile Ilya Rozanov was fully prepared for a spoiled, haughty omega.

    But Shane was earnest, stole his cloths, cried over his gunshot wound, and called him mine in front of his father.

    Now Ilya’s a little obsessed.

    Summary

    Shane never thought it would come to this.

    What once was a warm, fuzzy feeling of love in his chest, now was a mellowed, sharp frost encompassing his heart. He didn’t mean for it to go this far, to get this bad, but some things are destined to happen and some things are inescapable.

    His leg was shaking, a rhythmic thump thump thump where his feet met the hard wood floor. His hands lay clammy, buzzing against the sheet of paper on top of the cluttered oak desk.

    He really needs to clean this mess of tissues, pictures and stationary. He needs to bin the tissues and pack away the pictures and stationary into boxes where they will join the lines of cardboard in the moving van outside. But right now, all Shane can do is stare at the words “DIVORCE AGREEMENT” written in a harsh, bold, bland font. He never thought he would have such a document in his hands.

     

    Or,
    after months of quietly falling apart, Shane and Ilya have separated and are heading for divorce, trying to keep it hidden from their teammates at Wyatt’s wedding, the looming legal deadlines force them to confront their mistakes and issues. Is it too late, or can they find their way back to each other?

    Summary

    “Did you just tell a customer their outfit was structurally unsound?”

    “It was.”

    If you ask Shane Hollander, he'll tell you the bar's highball glasses are committing a war crime against sparkling water, your outfit has at least three structural flaws, and no, he is NOT blushing, it's just warm in here, and no, he was NOT staring at the new bartender through the gap in the ficus leaves, he was RESTING HIS EYES, and also, for the record, he doesn't care that the bartender has hazel eyes the color of warm stone in late-afternoon light or that his hands can untangle Shane's knotted fingers like they were made for exactly that purpose. He's a particularly opinionated artist with a sunset to paint. He doesn't have time for this. (He makes so much time for this.)

    A neurodivergent artist with the social grace of a startled deer + a bartender with the patience of a saint + a best friend who lives for drama = a love story told in fumbled words, shared sunsets, and the quiet understanding that sometimes the most profound conversations happen without speaking a word.

    Or: Shane Hollander has zero filter, zero social skills, and is absolutely in love with the new bartender his mother hired for their family bar
