    Summary

    “So, Ilya—”

    “I think you should call me Mr. Rozanov,” Ilya interrupts him, not three seconds in. “Is more professional. You wanted this interview to be completely professional, didn’t you, Shane Hollander?”

    Shane tries not to shudder at the way his name sounds through Ilya’s deep, velvety-smooth voice.

    “I am not calling you Mr. Rozanov.”

    “Mmm, yes, like that. Now say it again, but a bit sweeter.”

    “If you’re going to be a fucking asshole, we might as well not do this,” Shane snaps.

     

    OR - Shane Hollander is an ambitious sports management student with dreams of becoming a renowned NFL analyst. Ilya Rozanov is cocky, aggravating, and happens to be the country’s best college football athlete.

    When Shane is forced to do a report on Ilya for his senior project, resisting his charms should be easy. Ilya is everything he can’t stand. Unfortunately for him, the laws of attraction are rarely that simple.

    Summary

    Ilya has two problems.

    The first is that his best friend just came out of a relationship and needs to get laid. The second is that Ilya is suddenly having weird feelings about it. These are completely platonic/straight/heterosexual concerns for his frat bro dude friend, of course.

    Summary

    Shane has a preoccupation with Ilya's sweat.

    "My dirty boy. You like that?"

    He had never conceptualized it before in the way he was now, but he had always loved to see Ilya covered in evidence of a challenge, liked the way his body broke down cologne and deodorant until it was only him, the pleasant musk of a beautiful man. Shane's beautiful man.

    Summary

    The mist thickened as the town came up around him, swallowing the edges of things. The sound of the sea was constant, he could hear it even through the windows, even through the bad engine noise. He passed the sign at the edge of town.

    Welcome to Meremine Bay, we're glad to have you!

    Five years since he’d seen it last. He wasn’t so sure they were.

    Three months ago, Ilya Rozanov's mother walked out of her house in Meremine Bay, Maine, and never came back. Now the Olympics are two years out, he can't stand the smell of chlorine, and his therapist has told him it's time to go home.

    He'll get answers. He'll get his body back. Meremine’s been waiting.

    Summary

    Finally, something dawns on him, a way to handle two goals simultaneously. He’d seen Hollander’s mother flipping through papers rapidly when they first got here, seeming calm and in control and more than a little frightening in a way that made Ilya mildly glad he wasn’t one of the people responsible for a clipboard. If anyone can tell him if the long list of “Prohibited Items” he’d been sent in his email a few days ago is just standard practice for big shoots, it would be Yuna Hollander.

    Or, hopefully, her son.

    “Crazy we cannot even have peanut butter, eh?” He asks. “You also got giant list?”

    Hollander stiffens, almost imperceptibly, and Ilya tilts his head, just slightly, confused, wondering if he’s stumbled somewhere unexpected.
