    Summary

    Shane is still learning that he doesn't have to be perfect in his own relationship. Ilya is still learning the rules of Shane's bad days. So when Shane tries to push him away after a crushing loss, it leads to a tense argument. But ten years of rivalry are no match for Shane’s tears; the second he starts to cry, Ilya folds like a house of cards.

    Or: Shane tries to starve himself as punishment for losing, Ilya tries to feed him, and it turns into a very soft night of pampering because Ilya is legally incapable of staying angry at a crying Shane.

    Summary

    Newly divorced Dr. Shane Hollander enters the Pennsylvania Governor's race six months before the primary. He gains quick traction and suddenly finds himself a frontrunner. Unfortunately, his competition happens to be the biggest distraction ever.

    Ilya Rozanov has a reputation for being a playboy. He loves the validation he receives from being a public figure, but can't help feeling... unsatisfied. Until Shane Hollander announces his candidacy.

    Candidates spend a lot of time together on the campaign trail, and between foot touches during debates, a grounded flight from a snowstorm, and an eventful Democratic Convention, they fall hard. But only one of them can win the primary, only one of them will become the Democratic nominee.

    Summary

    He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.

    He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.

    Shane is making space for Ilya.
