    Summary

    “You know what I’m here for,” Alfred forces himself to maintain eye contact with Ivan, to act like he has even a semblance of higher ground in this situation.

    Ivan backs him up against the shut door. Alfred is already so disoriented that he doesn’t realize how close he is to the door until his head thunks against it, eliciting the tiniest chuckle from Ivan. “I’m afraid I’m going to have to hear you say it,” Ivan says, his lips turning down into a mock frown. “Don’t want to lose anything to cultural differences.”

    Or, Alfred can't sleep because he can't stop thinking about Ivan.

    ”Now darlin’, how’d you like to ride home on a real cowboy?”

    And Ivan thought Alfred was joking.

    Summary

    An exhausted and stressed out superpower finds a relic of better days in the back of the hidden drinking cabinet he'd used during Prohibition, and suddenly the stress doesn't seem that bad; at least, not if he has the escape he'd long forgotten about: The glide of soft fabrics agains silk skin, the warmth of appreciative appraisal directed at him, and the comfort that - for a few precious hours - he could be anyone he wanted to be.

    If one sneaky nation hadn't intervened.

    Summary

    Ivan has never been the best with people, often ending up alone. Perhaps that's why he became a writer, why he agreed to move, why his life took the direction it did. He never saw anything remarkable about it, accepting it simply as the way things were. Even if it left him incredibly lonely.

    And then he meets Alfred, who claims to be an alien hiding from the government.

    Ivan has a lot of decisions to make that will affect both of their lives.

    Summary

    Alfred needs money. He works in an obscure Russian restaurant, lives in a shitty apartment with his ex, and rent is on the rise. He thinks he’s found the perfect gig—Until his side job draws the attention of some of Manhattan’s less savory characters. He grows close to one, a mob boss referred to as the “Old Bear.” Ivan Braginsky may offer protection, and even a way to make quick cash. Then again, he could also prove the least savory of them all.
