Summary
Satoru Gojo, a biomedical engineering major, believes cognition can be reduced to circuits, chemicals, and measurable systems. If you understand the neurons, you understand everything.
Suguru Geto, a psychology major, disagrees. Meaning, context, culture; none of it fits neatly inside a diagram.
An interdisciplinary course on neuroscience and psychology places them in the same lecture hall. University housing places them in the same dorm room. One semester. One space neither of them asked to share.

Summary
Against his better judgment, Shane ends up joining the NHL’s celebrity Alpha Auction.
The problem is not the spotlight, his questionable status, or the not-so-high stakes competition; it's Ilya Rozanov, who knows a little too much and is determined to push Shane to the edge.
It's only six days, what could be so very hard about it?
Or Shane Hollander has been hiding his omega status his whole life. Somehow, Rozanov finds out. Even worse, they’re trapped in a hotel together for six long days.

Summary
Shane Hollander never meant to hire the cocky Russian trainer his teammate J.J. raved about. But one look at Ilya Rozanov—curly-haired, smirking, built like sin—and Shane was lost.
From their first session, Ilya pushes every one of Shane’s buttons: infuriating him, commanding him, touching him just a little too long. The workouts are brutal, the banter sharp, and the private sauna sessions… dangerous. Before long, Shane finds himself caught in a dynamic he’s never dared imagine, but one that might just be the fulfillment of his deepest, most secret fantasies.
When real feelings start burning hotter than any workout, Shane has to face the truth: he’s falling hard for the one man who might only see him as a toy.
Now he has to decide—risk everything to find out if Ilya feels the same… or walk away before his heart takes a harder hit than his glutes ever did.- Language:

Summary
Shane felt Finn’s sudden rage, the way he resented Dane for how nothing ever touched him—and underneath that, the way Finn, inexplicably, wanted to be the thing that could. “Just because your life doesn’t matter doesn’t mean you get to fuck up mine.”
Ilya’s eyes widened, just for a moment, sparking with something close to hurt before narrowing back into coldness. “I’ll be ready for your mandatory tour in the morning, Prince Finn.” He turned his back on the camera, still shirtless of course, but somehow it looked defenseless now, instead of cocky.
“I—” Shane said, and reached toward the screen.
Ilya shook his head, ever so slightly, and walked out of the room. Shane stared at the empty space where he’d been, bereft.
“And cut,” Scott said. “Holy shit.”
Ilya walked back into view, sat down in his chair, smirk firmly back in place. Shane’s hands were trembling.
“Well,” Kip said. “I think it’s safe to say the chemistry is there.”Or, Shane and Ilya are cast in a production of Ember & Ice and eventually they fuck about it.

Summary
When a human head of state publicly insults the ancient Vampire King, the price of peace is a political union. Shane Hollander, high school teacher and assistant hockey coach, is one of the only humans in the world with a rare bloodline. He’s given an impossible choice: become a Tribute Consort to vampire Crown Prince Ilya, or watch the human race burn.
Their union is meant to be a symbolic gesture to prevent war. Shane tells himself he can survive the vampire court's deadly politics, the centuries-old intrigue, and the weight of being a living apology for his species' mistakes.
What he doesn't expect is the way Ilya looks at him when no one else is watching.
When a secret society abducts Shane to drain and auction his rare blood to the highest bidder, the carefully constructed facade shatters. The vampire Crown Prince the world fears isn't cold at all, he's been holding something far more dangerous in check. And what Ilya is willing to destroy to reclaim his Consort will reshape the balance of power between their worlds.
