    Summary

    Shane Hollander does not leave outcomes to chance. When traditional dating fails to produce the stability he wants, he turns to a private matchmaker who promises something more deliberate: one match, one meeting, one decision.

    Ilya Rozanov never planned to get married. But when his carefully controlled life starts to unravel, marriage becomes the simplest solution.

    Neither of them is looking for love. What they agree to is a calculated partnership, built on alignment, not emotion.

    It should be straightforward.

    It is not.

    Summary

    He was working in a pawn shop in Brighton Beach,
    'Til his bosses kicked him out in one of those crushing scenes.

    What was he to do?
    Where was he to go?
    He was out on his fanny.

    So over the bridge from Brooklyn to the Hollander's door,
    He was there because of Svetlana, but the father saw more.

    He had style,
    he had flair,
    he was there.

    That’s how he became The Manny!

    Summary

    One delayed flight. One closing airport bar. One truth or dare game that gets significantly out of hand.
    Ilya Rozanov came to his ex-girlfriend's wedding to prove he was over it. Shane Hollander came to his best friend's wedding to prove he was fine. They were both lying, but they didn't know that about each other yet.

    Then they had to share a room.

    Summary

    Shane and Evan have been married for six years, with an arrangement that works because it’s straightforward—no secrets, no games, no jealousy, strictly physical. It’s never been complicated. Until Shane meets Ilya, younger and impossible to ignore, and what should have been just another hookup turns into something a lot harder to walk away from—leaving Shane crossing a line he didn’t even realize was there.

    Summary

    Ilya Rozanov has been drafted by Boston, the number one pick overall, but his father doesn't want him moving to America and so takes steps to block his visa. He's going to have to go back to Russia and stay there forever and that, thinks Shane Hollander, is wrong.

    It's so wrong that Shane can't stop himself from doing something about it. Even though that something is the most reckless, the only reckless thing he's ever done in his life. He marries Rozanov in secret, to keep him out of Russia and put him on a path to Canadian citizenship.

    Shane's got a five-year plan to get him there and when you have a plan nothing can go wrong. Right? Right. When you have a solid plan and a marriage that's on paper only there's no risk of feelings getting involved. Not on Rozanov's part and certainly not on Shane's.

    Right???
