    Summary

    ‘I look forward to getting to know you more, husband-to-be.’ Ilya smirks, tongue wrapping around the last word with relish, a hand coming to trace the freckles dusted across his cheeks with a surprisingly delicate touch.

    Shane smacks his hand away with a snort, tampering down the blush threatening to make itself known to instead snap out a frosty retort. ‘In your dreams.’

    Except all Ilya, the Prince of Rozan, has to offer is a dark smile and wandering eyes. Shane can feel them burning through his clothes, his shoulders resisting the urge to curl inwards and shield himself from Ilya’s gaze.

    ‘Oh, but you already are. Am I not in yours, sweet prince?’

    or: Shane, Crown Prince of Hollaith hates Prince Ilya of Rozan with a passion. So the idea of marrying him is his worst nightmare - right?

    Summary

    Alpha Ilya has been named Chief of Winterhaven, after the death of his father, the former iron-fisted chief. This territory, in the frigid north of a fantastical medieval world, prepares for winter with low food stocks, a fear of Ilya's inexperience, and an unspoken terror of what is the early signs of a long and cruel winter ahead. Ilya feels the weight of his village's entire life on his shoulders and threatens to crush him.

    Omega Shane is is a traveling apothecary, who came to Winterhaven seeking knowledge of herbs and the hopes of temporary shelter from the winter to come. He's a man who has wandered for most of his life, fleeing a past of abuse, violence, and rejection. All because he refuses to placate Alphas with half-truths and lies, and instead always speaks his mind, especially when the lives of others are on the line because of foolish pride.

    Sparks ignite between Alpha and Omega, as Ilya realizes Shane's wisdom can protect and improve his village's outdated customs and save the lives of his people and Shane realizes that Ilya might be the only Alpha who will hear and respect him, body and mind.

    Summary

    “How long has this been here?” Shane asked.

    Ilya frowned. “What?”

    “This,” Shane said, pressing gently.

    Ilya flinched, more surprised than hurt. He twisted awkwardly, reaching back, fingers searching. “I don’t feel anything.”

    “You don’t feel that?” Shane asked. His voice sounded wrong to his own ears.

    Ilya sighed, irritation creeping in. “You’re poking me. Of course I feel that.”

    “Ilya.”

    “It’s probably nothing,” Ilya said, already pulling away, sitting up. “Muscle knot. I don’t know.”

     

    Or,
    Ilya is used to surviving alone. Shane won’t let him. When illness forces their lives to change overnight, they learn what marriage really means. Not in vows, but in the relentless decision to stay.
