    Summary

    Dr. Shane Hollander is a pediatric emergency physician, and one the world’s leading researchers on wilderness medicine. On his third trip to Antarctica, he’s not expecting much to faze him. Then Dr. Ilya Rozanov walks into his clinical room with a laceration and an infuriating smirk.

    Shane thinks he’s above the hookup culture of Mactown. Ilya thinks he is simply in it for the chase. Neither of them expected to fall in love on the Ice. A saga.

    Summary

    ...and you make me curious.

    Do I make you curious?

    Obviously.

    **********

    Curiosity has been a lifelong trait of Ilya Rozanov. Two months after The Cottage, as he continues to grow his relationship with Shane, the fire of that curiosity burns hotter and brighter. Never one to ignore his impulses, Ilya embarks on a journey to better understand Shane's role in their sexual dynamic, and his own.

    Everyone says, "Curiosity killed the cat."
    But nobody seems to remember the second part of the adage:
    "But satisfaction brought him back."

    Summary

    Ilya knew, right from the very moment he met Shane Hollander, that he would never be good enough for him. He’d seemed so…pristine, when they first met. Untouched. And Ilya knew his unclean hands would only dirty him up. He’s always been selfish, though; his father used to tell him that.

    So it’s no surprise, really, that Shane has finally gotten tired of it. Of him, always needing more from Shane than he deserves - always begging for more than he has earned.

    Ilya would leave himself, too, if he could.

    (Or, five time Ilya thought Shane would leave, and one time he knew he wasn’t going anywhere.)

    Summary

    Ten years ago, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were the two most ruthless students at University of Michigan Law School. Brilliant, combative, and incapable of staying away from each other, they spent three years trying to out-argue, outmaneuver, and outlast one another in lecture halls, libraries, and the privacy of Shane’s apartment. Somewhere between the rivalry and the obsession, they fell disastrously in love.

    And then it ended horribly.

    Now, a decade later, Shane is a partner at a big-time law firm in Montreal and Ilya is the star attorney in Boston who sticks up for the little guy, and they have been hired to fight on opposite sides of a heated civil trial. The case is supposed to be standard, easy, simple. Instead, it becomes a slow-motion collision with everything they spent ten years trying to bury. In court, the burden of proof is everything. As the trial drags on and old wounds reopen, Shane and Ilya are forced to confront the question they never answered the first time around. Can they prove to themselves that what they had is truly over, or has the verdict already been waiting for them all along?

    Summary

    "And is like I said, very easy to do. You just lay back and let someone else do work. Could do it in my sleep, would not be problem at all for me to come hands-free.”

    Hollander scowled, full competitive personality shining through. “Prove it.”

    “Fine, I will,” Ilya snapped back.

    Hollander's eyes went wide, and so did Ilya's when he realized what he had promised. His words hung in the air between them, suddenly heavy with implication.

    ---
    Ilya doesn't think switching with Hollander one time for the sake of settling a bet will change anything about their arrangement, and it certainly wouldn't make him discover anything about himself. Afterall, it would only be one time, right?
