    Summary

    Shane Hollander has spent his entire life trying not to be noticed. In a city where magic runs the streets and monsters run the rest, that’s kept him alive.

    When his guardian is murdered — alongside a vampire that shouldn’t have been there — Shane is pulled into an investigation that doesn’t add up. The deeper he digs, the worse it gets: missing evidence, fractured politics, and something powerful enough to tear through both the living and the undead.

    Then the words begin to answer him.

    Ancient. Primal. The language of power itself — one that predates the First Shift, one that shouldn’t be spoken at all. And yet, it recognizes him.

    As Shane draws closer to the truth, he also draws attention — especially from the Beast Lord of Boston. Ilya Rozanov doesn’t break rules lightly. But for Shane, he might.

    Shane has spent years staying out of sight. Now the city is watching, the magic is listening, and whatever he is becoming may be just as dangerous as the thing he’s hunting.

    The Heated Rivalry / Kate Daniels Crossover literally no one asked for.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander only meant to attend a few hockey games — a small act of rebellion against the boyfriend who controlled every part of his life. But that night changes everything. The arena becomes a refuge, Rose becomes a friend, and the Montreal Metros become the first place he’s felt safe in years.

    No one knows he’s living with domestic violence.
    No one knows he’s planning to run.
    No one knows how much he’s breaking.

    And no one expects him to fall for Ilya Rozanov — the loud, brilliant, closeted Russian winger recently traded under suspicious circumstances.

    Ilya has secrets he can’t share, a past he can’t escape, and feelings he doesn’t know how to handle.

    Shane is learning how to live again.
    Ilya is learning how to feel again.
    Both are learning how to trust.

    But when the truth about their pasts threatens to surface, they’ll have to decide whether they can face it together — or lose each other trying.

    Summary

    Shane was going to be the youngest captain in NHL history. Then Ilya happened. Now they share the A, share a room, and Ilya won't stop testing exactly how much Shane can take.

    Or

    Shane lost the captaincy to a trade. He lost his mind in a hotel room.

    [On hiatus. This is not an indefinite hiatus. I had already written the first 10 chapters before posting, but I need to reconfigure some things in chapter 10 before I move on and I can’t do that rn cause I’ve been super busy. I WILL come back to this.]
