Summary
When you become friends with benefits at 18, it’s easy to quickly become codependent on each other – especially when the only one who understands your issues is your arch rival. Because who else would you talk to? And how will it change when the rivalry isn’t as prominent as it used to be? When their recurring game of Fuck-Marry-Kill for shits n’ giggles is carried over to real life, Shane and Ilya are forced to face the many mysteries of love.
Or: What if tuna melt never happened? What if there's no jealousy? What if Shane and Ilya’s relationship was based on communication? What if Troy Barrett got traded to Boston and had to deal with the mortifying ordeal of being known?
A story about contradictions and the duality of man, about learning to love yourself and all your flaws. It is also a story about friendship, deep care and trust, and all the small things that make us human. And books.

Summary
Shane Hollander is Harbor High’s quiet hockey star: brilliant, disciplined, closeted, destined for the NHL, admired from distance but never understood. When his mother Yuna brings home Ilya Rozanov, a sharp-tongued Russian teen with nowhere left to go, Shane’s carefully controlled life begins to unravel. Ilya is carrying grief, secrets, and a past everyone is eager to judge. He is also annoying and now he's living in Shane's family's poolhouse. Shane can't stop looking at him.
Thrown together by circumstance, school, and (bad) parental choices, Shane and Ilya become impossible for each other to ignore. In a sunny world full of beach-house parties, polished lies, rich-kid cruelty, and hidden longing, their tangled up lives turns into something more dangerously exhilarating: love.
Or: Heated Rivalry, but make it The OC.

Summary
This was going to be the end of The Great Era of Shane Hollander; he was going to be cooked alive in his apartment. It was the worst heatwave in Montreal in almost 30 years, and the AC in Shane’s apartment seemed to have given up completely. He needed to call property management. Too bad for Shane, the electrician they send is an asshole and only messes with his AC unit so he can come back again.
Or: Shane's AC unit is broken. Ilya is a mischievous electrician. They engage in very hot and very sweaty sex.

Summary
“So, where are you and Pike not headed tonight?”
Don’t answer, don’t answer, don’t answer.
“We were supposed to go bowling.”
Shane crosses his arms over his chest and stands up a bit straighter, hoping Barrett gets the message and goes back inside. It doesn’t work.
Or: Shane Hollander is explicitly anti-frat bro. That hasn’t stopped Troy Barrett from spending the last year and some change trying to flirt with him at every opportunity. Tonight, though, Shane just might be talked into giving in.

Summary
Ilya never made it to the cottage.
Ilya Rozanov spent nine years in exile, convincing himself that disappearing was an act of protection. But when he returns to the NHL and signs with the Ottawa Centaurs, the team led by Shane Hollander, his former rival and secret love, he learns that distance has changed nothing. Their bodies still remembers. The air between them still crackles.
Shane Hollander has built a life of careful normalcy: a captain's role, a dog named Anya, the performance of a man who doesn't need anything from anyone. But Ilya's return unmakes all of it in a single moment of eye contact.
As proximity forces them closer to the truth they've been avoiding, Ilya and Shane has to finally confront the question that has haunted them both for years: Was the silence ever protection, or only destruction in disguise?

Summary
So what is the plan now, Mr. Spreadsheet?
“Honestly I was kind of hoping your consciousness would just click back into your body once I touched you.” Shane scratches the back of his head.
You treat me like slap bracelet, Ilya complains.
After a bad hit knocks Ilya’s consciousness out of his body — literally — Shane finds himself sheltering the soul of his decade-long situationship in the back of his head. Turns out it’s a lot harder to keep secrets when you share a body.
(They definitely still try, though.)

Shane should have died the night he was turned. Instead, he woke up abandoned in a New York hotel room with no maker, no guidance, and no idea what the hell to do. Back in Montreal and desperate, he meets Ilya, the King of Quebec, in a TruBlood aisle, and everything changes. Ilya's horrified by Shane's illegal turning and offers him sanctuary at the Château Frontenac.
