    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has always been good at reading people. It's how he manages a life that's quietly falling apart — his father is fading, his brother is a liability, and the Bratva needs more of him every year. He controls what he can and watches everything else carefully from a distance. Except perhaps the man he meets in Montreal.

    It's almost fun.

    Shane Hollander doesn't make mistakes. He eats correctly, sleeps six and a half hours, and manages every variable in his life with the precision his mother's organization requires. He meets Ilya Rozanov across a professional dinner in Montreal and understands immediately that Ilya is going to be a problem.

    It's absolutely a problem.

    Summary

    Shane huffed quietly through his nose and started jotting something unnecessary down on his clipboard, just to have something to do with his hands. “Can you leave, so I can do my job?”

    “Oh, I am distracting you?”

    “Please leave.”

    “You look distracted,” Ilya said instead of moving. He leaned in slightly, close enough that Shane could feel it without turning his head.

    “Rozanov,” Shane said, sharper now, gesturing toward the water with the end of his clipboard. “Go.”

    Ilya held his gaze for a second longer, like he was considering pushing it further. His eyes flicked briefly to Shane’s mouth, then back up, quick enough that Shane was almost positive he imagined it. Then Ilya huffed out a quiet laugh and took a step back.

    “Do not lose, Hollander. It will be embarrassing for you.”
