    Summary

    He tried to carve it out when he was thirteen. Found a nail in the barn and pressed it into his skin and bled onto the dirt floor and prayed to a God who stayed silent, and the mark remained — distorted, scarred, but there, because the mark was not on the skin but in it, in the bone, in whatever part of Shane Hollander had been made wrong. Four years later, a boy walked through the door, and the burning started, and Shane has been running from it ever since — from the mark, from the boy, from the truth that the one thing the world wants to destroy is the one thing he can't live without.

    Or

    At a correctional school in late 1900s Canada, a head prefect with a scarred soulmate mark and a Russian boy sent to be cured discover their marks match — and that the system meant to save them will destroy them first.

    Summary

    Ever since he had learned what skating was and, subsequently, hockey, life had been pretty straightforward for Shane Hollander. He had approached the sport that made his body move exactly how he wanted and his mind quiet with the same determination a scholar did academia: fully, completely, devotedly.

    It hadn’t been long before he had surpassed every kid at training, his edges sharp, hold strong, passes clean. His mother had seen the potential almost immediately and, soon enough, his destiny had been mapped out and he couldn’t have been happier about it: minor league and International Prospect Cup, the draft, 1st overall pick, Montreal, captaincy, cups, rings. He had everything planned, a clear path ahead, and success had been basically assured with the type of talent he was.

    Or it had been until he had gotten himself a fucking stalker.

    -

    Or, 4 times a jinx got in Shane's way and the one time it actually helped him.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander likes his routine as a graduate student in the chemistry department at the University of Toronto. He gets to lab early, he plays intramural hockey once a week, he monitors the use of the department's nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer every Monday night. Just a couple more years of keeping his head down and he'll graduate with his PhD. That is, until a new research group arrives: one that includes brash Russian graduate student Ilya Rozanov. Rozanov is loud and charming and popular and annoyingly, just as good at chemistry as Shane. And for some reason, won't leave the department's most boring, serious student alone.
