    Summary

    Mickey Milkovich, 26, is a tough, closeted ex-con and reluctant dance dad doing his best to raise his seven-year-old son, Yev.
    Life’s been a grind—he’s broke, burned out, and recently booted from a snooty dance studio after clashing with the elite moms.
    Enter Fallen Angel Ballet, a new studio run by Ian Gallagher, a former world-renowned ballerina whose career was tragically cut short by a hate crime.
    Mickey doesn’t give a crap about Ian’s past—he just wants a scholarship for Yev. But when the gruff road crew worker and the disciplined dancer collide, sparks fly. Beneath their hardened exteriors, they discover pieces of themselves they thought were long gone.

    Summary

    Ian Gallagher never asked to be abducted by a roguish, grumpy, and suspiciously human-looking alien. And he doesn't know if he has lost his mind when the brooding Star Knight explains that Ian is supposed to be the messiah of an alien civilization all because of a retro arcade game.

    Mickey Milkovich is the son of the last Messiah and the last thing he wants to do is travel to his mother's home planet to doom another person to her fate. Not that he is given a choice. But a simple retrieval mission soon becomes something more personal when he meets the bewildered redhead.

    Together, they just might change the fate of the galaxy.

    Summary

    If you would have told Shane ten years ago that Ilya Rozanov would be cooking him his birthday breakfast that they ate outside on the porch of their shared house with their dog running around the backyard, Shane would have laughed out loud. And then he probably would have cried because it felt like such a pipe dream.

    or, a year after the events of The Long Game, Shane and Ilya spend their first birthdays together as a married couple
