    Summary

    Shane Hollander is hired as the new Executive Director at Canada’s premiere Shakespeare Festival after the last ED resigned in disgrace for inappropriate sexual relations with actors. Ilya Rozanov is a famous TV actor who left his popular show for mysterious reasons to perform Shakespeare in the middle of nowhere. There is an immediate electricity between the two, an electricity that neither can afford to indulge, but they can’t stop bumping into each other in this tiny town.

    Or: Lord, what fools these mortals be!

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is twenty-three, overqualified, and hiding something. After a bad ending at his last restaurant he takes a position at L'oiseau Loup with one rule for himself: keep the scent patches on, keep his head down, and don't give anyone a reason to look too closely.

    Ilya Rozanov is already looking too closely.
    Montreal's most decorated chef has built his reputation on knowing exactly what something is the moment it reaches him. Shane is quickly becoming the one thing in his kitchen he can't place — and that, more than anything, is what makes him dangerous.

    or: Shane and Ilya both work on an up and coming fine dining restaurant where Shane tries to hide his omega assignment and Ilya is dead set on finding out the addictive scent that has been distracting him on the line.

    Summary

    When Ilya is seventeen, he sees Shane Hollander for the first time. And then he wants. He wants and he wants and he wants.

    (There is something wrong with him, he knows. A hollowness inside of him. A void that cannot be filled. A darkness that cannot be healed.)

    Summary

    “Ilya?” 5 year old Shane turned towards his friend.
    “Yeah?” Ilya asked, not lifting his head from the sand castle he was carefully building.
    “Don’t you think I’m weird?” Shane asked, swallowing the weird lump in his throat that appeared when the thought first came to his mind.
    “You are weird Hollander.” Ilya answered simply. “We all are. You speak weird because of thoughts. I speak weird because of accent. It does not matter. We are weird together.”
    “Oh.” Shane nodded, then with a smile asked one more question. “Can you promise me we will be weird together forever?”

    or

    Ilya and Shane were childhood bestfriends, but then sudden death of irina rozanova changed everything. Can they be them again, after so many years without contact?

    Especially, with the NHL pitting them against eachother?
