Summary
Ilya Rozanov wakes up from a coma with a broken body… and an even more shattered heart.
For weeks, while his body lay motionless, he lived an entire life with Shane Hollander: a quiet, secret relationship, built through stolen looks, soft touches, and an intimacy he never allowed himself in reality. He remembers the warmth of the fire, the weight of Shane’s hand, the feeling of belonging to someone.
But none of it ever happened.In the real world, Shane is only his rival.
The man who stepped away.
The one who said no.
And yet, the loss hurts as if it had been real.
As Ilya tries to piece himself back together—caught between memories he doesn’t know how to let go of and feelings that refuse to fade—Shane is also carrying the weight of what never was… and what almost became.
Because waking up doesn’t always mean returning to reality.Sometimes, it means facing what never existed… and still marked you forever.
