Summary
Ilya ignored the request from the NHL twice. The first time they asked through his agent, the second time the director of marketing called his personal number directly. He never got along with the league as a player, and he certainly didn't need to make them happy now.
The next attempt to reach him was harder to ignore. A phone call from an unknown number. A voicemail that made his blood run cold.
"Hi Ilya. This is Rose Landry. We've never met, but Shane speaks so highly of you. I think the NHL has been trying to get in touch. Shane said you probably wouldn't talk to them. But...think about it, ok? I know it would mean a lot to him."
The final request crumbled his resolve. The caller ID blinked "Jane," and Ilya stared at it.

Summary
His Royal Highness, Shane David Montreal Hollander, Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Fortuna and Duke of the Isles of Cyan, had spent his entire life solely in service to the crown and his country.
Prince Ilya Rovaznov had been the spare, the second son of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Gregori Rozanov of the Empire of Taiga, Fortuna’s neighbor to the west.
When they met, Shane hadn’t been able to keep his eyes off the Prince.
Four years later, a letter was delivered to Shane from Emperor Ilya Rozanov, giving the Crown Prince a choice. Either Shane would agree to become the Emperor's Royal Consort, publicly declaring his allegiance to the Empire of Taiga and his complete submission to the Emperor. Or Shane could watch as his kingdom is plundered by the Emperor and his men.
As Shane grapples with his choice, he struggles to reconcile the Ilya he first met to the Emperor who stands before him today. And what Shane doesn’t know is that from the moment they met, Ilya had one singular focus - to claim the Crown Prince as his own.

Summary
After a viral photo outs Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov while they're still busy pretending their years-long situationship is mostly just sex, the fallout gets complicated fast. The world reacts badly. Their teams react worse. Ilya's future in North America starts to look alarmingly fragile, and Shane, who has never met a disaster he didn't try to control into submission, throws himself into fixing what can still be fixed.
Ilya has spent his whole life being wanted for the wrong reasons and discarded for the right ones. Shane has spent his whole life believing that if he is careful enough, good enough, controlled enough, he can keep disaster from reaching the people he loves.
A practical solution emerges, then a house, then rings.
Somehow, by the time they say their vows, both of them are certain they are the only one who means them.

Summary
Ilya’s brows quirked again, and he flicked open the first page of the textbook, ‘and you decided to learn Russian now because...?’
‘Because I married a Russian man, and I figured it was about time I learned.’
‘You never learned with me.’ Ilya said.
‘No.’ Shane replied, tersely, ‘there was a lot I never did with you.’
Or: After Shane's college relationship ends in heartbreak, he patches up his wounds by marrying a wealthy, older man, and he's so sure his life is perfect. That is, until his ex re-enters the picture, and he wonders if maybe he got it all wrong.
