    Summary

    "He knew that in the grand scheme of things, three weeks was nothing. It was a blip, genuinely inconsequential. Barely enough time to learn the shape of another person, let alone miss them.

    He'd spent years telling himself exactly that.

    It had never quite taken. "

    --
    Between the World Junior Championship and the NHL Draft, all of the top prospects are sent to a three week development camp.

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov end up sharing a room. For a brief moment, they find something in each other neither of them expected.

    Then Ilya vanishes from their cabin without explanation.

    Years pass. They are drafted to opposite conferences. Their careers take off. Their lives move on.

    But some things never quite stay buried. When a trade brings Ilya to Boston, the almost they've spent years outrunning is, suddenly, standing directly in front of them.

    Summary

    Shane had been used to being alone. He'd never thought of himself as lonely. He honestly often craved the solitude, found it grounding. But that was before he knew what it was like to have someone to call, someone to touch. He was never lonely before Rozanov, but he'd been lonely ever since.

    April 2017: Shane does not get laid out on the ice.

    Ilya goes through with ending it.

    Shane lets him.

    What follows is eleven months of distance, denial, and a quiet kind of devastation neither of them knows how to name, let alone fix.

    They learn how to live without each other.

    (Or at least, how to pretend.)

    And then, almost a year later, the infamous collision happens and Shane goes down cold.

    And suddenly, neither of them can pretend it doesn’t matter.

    Summary

    If Darcy Lewis shows up at your door, chances are you did something to bring her there...

    Darcy is an assassin who only kills bad guys. The Winter Soldier is pretty much the baddest guy out there. Too bad nobody thought to explain to her that Bucky isn't the Winter Soldier anymore. Awk-ward!

    The good news is, there's no shortage of bad people to kill when you're working as the personal assassin for one James "Bucky" Barnes, retired Asset and world's sexiest shut-in. And if they have to pretend to be dating to keep her cover? Well, that doesn't mean anything. It's strictly professional.

    Really.
