Summary
Mike Ross is finally out of prison. But freedom isn’t as simple as stepping outside the gates. Haunted by the trauma of his time inside and unresolved grief over his relationship with Rachel, Mike struggles to find his footing in a world that’s moved on without him.
Harvey Specter is there to pick him up, but Harvey carries his own baggage—his mother’s betrayal, years of buried anger, and guilt that he never fully allowed himself to feel.
As they lean on each other for support, both men are forced to confront everything they’ve avoided for years: trust, grief, betrayal, and the painful process of healing.
A slow-burn love story about processing trauma, finding peace, and choosing each other—fully and completely.

Summary
Shane Hollander always had a strategy. He had a strategy for winning the Cup, a strategy for managing the press, and a strategy for keeping his relationship with his rival-turned-boyfriend, Ilya Rozanov, strictly in the dark. He really was good at managing it all… Right up until the moment a medical impossibility turned into a positive pregnancy test, and the only man Shane ever loved asked him to do the one thing he couldn’t: tell the truth.
Five years post-breakup, Shane is technically winning. He has the trophies, the privacy, and their brilliant daughter, Airi. And he is perfectly co-parenting with his ex, Ilya Rozanov. The rules are simple: minimal contact, polite text messages about their daughter, and absolutely no acknowledging about their past.
Until Yuna Hollander decides to intervene. Suddenly, the ocean Shane put between them is gone. Shane’s new strategy is simple: survive seven days with Ilya without falling apart.

Summary
Maybe he was naive, but Ilya always thought he had time. Time with Shane. Time to tell him what he truly meant to him.
That, somehow, one way or another, Shane would always be there.
But a text message late one night threatens to destroy the future that Ilya has spent the time carefully constructing in his mind.
Maybe Shane wasn't always going to be there. That Shane would be cruelly snatched away from him before he had a chance to be honest.
That he would be left behind. Alone.
