    Summary

    Shane Hollander desperately needs to disappear.
    After a spectacularly awful week, a remote Yorkshire cottage seems like the perfect place to hide from the press, rediscover himself, and drink an irresponsible amount of tea.
    Unfortunately, the cottage isn't empty.
    The Russian stranger insists it’s his, but Shane has paperwork that says otherwise.
    It's just after midnight, there's a storm outside, the roads are probably flooded, and the only available weapon is a stuffed fish.
    Clearly, this is all Svetlana's fault.
    They're both convinced the cottage belongs to them and they're both refusing to leave.
    A Yorkshire romcom.
    Inspired by The Holiday (2006), with lashings of Wallace & Gromit.

    Summary

    Wyatt was not, like, nosy. For sure, he was interested. He was curious. He engaged with people, obviously, because most people were interesting and engaging and had cool thoughts and said neat stuff if you asked.

    So, no. Wyatt wasn’t nosy, but he wasn’t stupid, either.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov was sent to Vancouver as a three-year gift from the Bratva, a bodyguard for the Yakuza's most dangerous boss. He was supposed to do his job and go home. He was not supposed to fall in love with Shane Hollander.

    Now there's only one year left on his contract, and every night he spent in Shane's penthouse makes it harder to remember why he ever planned to leave. When the Bratva comes to collect what's theirs, Ilya will have to choose: break his own heart, or start a war for the man he loves.

    Summary

    When the unsentimental financial imperative of the NHL sees Shane traded to the Boston Raiders, he and Ilya are thrown into closer extended proximity than ever before. As they adjust to life as teammates, they are forced to contend with the nature of their relationship -and must answer for themselves: is it even a relationship at all?
    ____

    Sliding down the wall, Shane hunched over his untied sneakers, shoved on hastily when Coach had called him in for a meeting after morning skate.

    “Boston wanted you specifically. I’ve already spoken to their GM. You’re flying this evening or tomorrow morning: I’ll confirm once the paperwork clears.”

    “Mom,” Shane managed.

    “Oh sweetie. I know, okay. Those fuckers, how dare they do this! Two fucking cups! Now all of a sudden they decide they want a reset and you’re going to fund it.”

    Shane put his head between his knees and tried to breathe. God, Boston. They hated him there; it was so far away; he was fucking their captain.
