    Summary

    “No one is going to kill me. Except maybe you,” says Ilya, sprawling in the chair across from her. “I didn't need any of the other bodyguards and I don't need this one.”

    “You're going to have to talk to him sooner or later.” Svetlana turns her attention back to Hollander. “Ilya doesn't take the threats against him seriously.”

    “He's not my first client to feel that way,” he says. He has brown eyes and freckles, a spray of them across the bridge of his nose. “Can you tell me more about the threats?”

    “Of course.” She gestures to the chair next to Ilya and pulls out a binder for Hollander. “He came out as bisexual last year and the threats started not long after.”

    “I receive a lot of good mail too,” says Ilya. “DMs, letters, even photos. Very nice ones.”

    “The binder for dick pics you've gotten is ten times as thick,” says Svetlana. Ilya opens his mouth to crack another joke, but she holds up her hand. “Yes, yes, like your dick. Get some new material.”

    --

    Ilya retired from hockey and became a model. His agent thinks he needs a bodyguard. Enter Shane Hollander.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander meets Ilya Rozanov on his twenty-fourth birthday at The Ice Palace, the gay club where Ilya works as a bartender. Shane has never been to a gay club before, and never been with a man before. He's shocked that it's seemingly this easy to pick up a shirtless, Russian bartender, with the most beautiful lips he's ever seen. That was the point of coming to the club, as a test of his homosexuality, but Shane leaves, alone, unsure as to whether he passed or failed.

    Ilya passed. He passed Shane a secret birthday message on a cocktail napkin. Shane doesn't know what it says, but he knows it's special. He doesn't know this meeting, that message, and a birthday gift that was already late will change his life either. He'll never spend another birthday alone though. Ilya will make sure of that.

    Set in the 1980's... and I promise there's a happy ending

    Summary

    A cancer diagnosis forces Shane and Ilya to stop pretending they have time. They don’t slowly fall into each other—they crash into it, trying to make up for seven years of almosts and what-ifs. But illness doesn’t magically fix who they are. The same walls, fears, and habits that kept them apart are still there—only now they have to face them while fighting something much bigger than themselves.
