    Summary

    No matter what Neteyam says, his parents won't listen. They want to send Spider back into the forest just because his existence in Awa'atlu is inconvenient. But Spider had saved his life, and he wants to stay. It's all the boy wants. And yet his parents won't budge. They've given Spider a week before Norm will come get him.

    Fine. If his parents won't make Spider a part of the family, Neteyam will do it himself.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is just trying to survive—NYU biochemistry, hockey practice, and the graveyard shift at a Manhattan 7-Eleven. He's too tired to notice that his new regular customer is clearly Russian mafia, or that Ilya's interest in him goes beyond terrible coffee.

    When Ilya gives him a $10k scarf and gloves, Shane sells them for rent money. Any normal person would be terrified. Ilya is fascinated.

    Summary

    "How did you raise a child when both parents lived on planes and in hotels? How did you justify adopting someone just to leave them behind with grandparents or nannies for most of the year?

    They had agreed, years ago, that they wouldn’t do that. That they wouldn’t turn a child into an accessory to their careers.

    So they had waited.

    And now Shane was done waiting."

    Or, Ilya Rozanov learns how to build a home—and stay.

    Summary

    Against every instinct that had guided Shane his entire life—the instinct to be careful, to be reasonable, to not rock the boat—he leaned into the moment.

    “Well,” he said lightly, the words tasting strange and powerful on his tongue, “it’s nice to have a regular man like that.”

    The phrase echoed something Rozanov had once said about women, casual and dismissive back then.

    Now, it landed like a match.

    Shane watched the exact second it ignited.

    Or, Shane tells a small, stupid lie because he’s tired of being boring—and accidentally finds out just how much Ilya Rozanov cares.
