    Summary

    After Alexei walks in on Sasha hitting on Ilya at the gala in Sochi, he does the most predictable - but terrifying - thing: he blackmails Ilya Rozanov, on the threat of telling Russia, and their father, the truth about Ilya's sexuality.

    It's a good thing that a very helpful, boring Canadian with gorgeous freckles offers to help him defect from Russia, in the most insane way possible: through marriage. To him.

    Or, Shane and Ilya do their relationship completely out of order. And, they realize later, they wouldn't have it any other way.

    Summary

    A decade of near-misses. Operations rerouted. Messages left without names.
    A rivalry built on precision, restraint--and recognition neither of them ever acknowledged.

    Shane Hollander follows rules. Keeps his distance. Finishes the job and moves on.
    His rival doesn’t chase. He waits. He makes it personal.

    When the line between adversary and understanding begins to blur, the danger isn’t exposure.
    It’s what happens when someone sees you clearly--and still chooses to stay.

    --

    OR: Two spies who have spent years learning each other’s patterns finally collide--and realize the most dangerous part was never the mission. It was falling in love.

    Summary

    “Nesmyshlyonysh,” Ilya whispered. The endearment was soft, terrifyingly intimate in the violence. “Calm down. You are having panic attack.”
    He lifted the knife, reversed it in his hand until he was holding it by the blade, leaving the heavy handle exposed.
    “Sleep now,” Ilya said. “I have you.”

    Shane’s cottage is supposed to be his safe place.

    Instead, he wakes up naked, tied to his own bed, with Ilya Rozanov sitting at the foot of it and explaining, very calmly, why kidnapping him is an act of love.

    Summary

    “I’m sorry. I’m—I didn’t see anything.” Shane says mostly unintelligibly. He looks at the girl, who seems completely unfazed by what is happening, simply holding the side of her neck, looking at Shane with a bored expression like this has happened to her before. What the actual fuck? This has certainly not happened to Shane before. “I swear. I won’t say anything.”

    “I know.” Rozanov speaks, licking the blood off his lips, reaching up to catch the rest with a single finger and lick that clean, too.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander has a penthouse apartment, a seven-figure salary, and his face on a cereal box. None of it has ever quieted the voice in his head that says not enough.

    When Ilya shows up at his door on a Tuesday night, Shane has a plan: keep it fast, keep it physical, don't let it get slow. Slow is dangerous. Slow is when Ilya sees too much.

    Ilya sees too much anyway.
