Summary
Ilya leaned back against the headboard, eyes on the ceiling. Attraction was dangerous. It clouded judgment, created attachments, left openings for mistakes. He had been trained to compartmentalize: duty first, always. Emotions were liabilities and yet…
The image of Shane spotting him—close enough to feel the heat off his body, voice steady and low—lingered. The casual strength in his hands when he’d yanked the pin free. The way he’d said “good form” like it mattered, like Ilya mattered in that moment.
Ilya exhaled slowly, forcing the thoughts down. He was here for a mission, not a life. Whatever briefing came next would demand focus. Shane Hollander was a variable, nothing more. A ticket to a hockey game. A potential networking opportunity if the target turned out to be a fan. That was all.Or: Ilya Rozanov is a sleeper agent for Russia and all is well until Shane Hollander enters his life. Now Ilya must choose whether serving his country is worth a life of solitude.

Summary
[Sequel to The Sleeper]
Ilya sat at the kitchen island, phone in hand, staring at the Find My Phone app. It was 11:57pm and Irina had exactly three minutes to walk through the door before she was past curfew. But the little blue dot on Ilya's phone had not moved from the same spot for twenty-three minutes. Ilya was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, but what was his daughter doing at an industrial lot two miles always from the house party he had taken her to?
Or: Irina is taken and Ilya wont stop until he brings his daughter home.
