    Summary

    What if Cliff Marlow, after Ilya came back from visiting Shane in the hospital, put his detective cap on and sleuthed out more than Ilya was prepared for?

    Perhaps Ilya, in bed with Shane at his cottage months later, finally shares this detail with him. Which perhaps encourages other unspoken details to be shared, and some fantasizing about who else they would like to tell. On purpose.

    Perhaps the late night fantasizing snowballs into an actual plan. A labour day weekend party where they surprise everyone that matters to them (Marlow is also invited). For better and for worse.

    Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps…

    Summary

    When the Hollander family trip to Moscow comes to an end, 8-year-old Shane swears he's never going to see Ilya again. He parts from his summer friend with a heavy heart and the certainty that that's the end of their budding friendship.

    Over a decade later, Ilya walks into his life again, all grown and handsome; his thick accent is a hint, but what gives his identity away is the bracelet tied around his wrist. There should be no reason for Ilya to be in Montreal, and yet here he is.

    Shane takes a deep breath and reintroduces himself, completely unaware of the whirlwind Ilya is about to take him in.

    Summary

    Shane slips through his front door and back into his quiet apartment. He leans back against the door and takes a steadying breath in his dark apartment. After a moment, the music next door turns off and Shane is left with only the pounding of his own heartbeat in his ears. 

    He closes his eyes and tries not to think about Rozanov or the way Shane’s entire body lit up like a live wire when he said in that low, accented voice, only if you ask nicely. He’s hard in his penguin print pajama pants and now he’s going to have to jerk off and shower before he can sleep. While trying not to think about his asshole neighbor.

    This is bad. This is very bad. 

    In which Shane Hollander's new next door neighbor is a menace who always seems to answer the door shirtless.

    Summary

    Shane keeps getting random packages sent to his door for an Ilya Rozanov. Problem is - he has no idea who that is.

    It's really frustrating. Lucky for him when they do meet, Ilya Rozanov is a tall, blonde, gorgeous model.

    Hm. Less frustrating.

    Summary

    Shane at only twenty-five was already a high-earning businessman. He worked hard as second in command for one of the largest tech cooperations in Amercia and in a few years, he was to become the CEO.

    That was until a deal turned bad and left the company on the cusp of bankruptcy. Enter Ilya Rozanov, his biggest competition and soon to be boss.

    or,

    Shane had everything taken from him, Ilya Rozanov didn't expect to fall for his cute little trophy.
