   Summary

   Alexei finds a grainy paparazzi photo of him, and suddenly Ilya's world is unravelling. Convinced that the only way to protect himself and Shane is to cut ties, Ilya does everything in his power to drive Shane away, even as he breaks his own heart.

   But Shane isn't ready to walk away, and he certainly isn't going to make it easy.
