Summary
Ilya Rozanov has learned that nothing is free--not shelter, not food, not kindness. Every favor comes with a price, and his body is the only currency he has. When a brutal night on the streets of Montreal puts him in the path of Shane Hollander, a wealthy stranger who refuses payment for his help, Ilya doesn't trust it. He trusts transactions. He trusts survival. Shane Hollander has spent his life being careful--about his image, his future, and the expectations attached to his last name. As the heir to a powerful corporation, there is no room in his world for scandal, much less for falling in love with someone society would rather pretend doesn't exist. As Shane and Ilya are drawn together, what begins as guarded proximity turns into something neither of them can afford. Ilya and Shane must decide whether love is worth the cost--and whether they're willing to risk everything for it.

Summary
“They're streets in the same city, and sometimes they intersect. I think I'm already planted at that intersection. I'm already under its streetlights.” - Billy-Ray Belcourt
Charlie Spring is at his wits' end. After a decade of keeping his panic attacks at bay, they're suddenly back with a vengeance, threatening to derail the life he's meant to be planning with his fiancé Ben. The only glimmer of hope is his therapist's suggestion that he might have success with a service dog.
Nick Nelson is back at square one. He's six months out of a failed long-term relationship, living at home again, and completely directionless. He loves working at his family's service dog agency, Second Chance, but he needs more than that to keep him afloat.
Or: Nick and Charlie never sat together in form. They never dated. They both moved through life separately, suceeding and failing in small measures, until a chance meeting in their late twenties brought them back into each others' orbit.

Summary
Nick and Charlie had a plan: Nick would complete teacher training while Charlie finished university. Then they'd start their careers together and live happily ever after.
But then Nick is offered a position on a professional rugby team. It means being apart from Charlie again, but it also means an incredible dream coming true. Charlie is certain they can make it work, so Nick joins the team.
What Nick doesn't expect is how difficult it is going from being captain of a university team to the youngest player on a professional team. How embarrassing it is for his mum and Charlie to travel to his first match, only for him to sit on the sidelines as a replacement. How unsure he is if he made the right choice. How hard it is to be away from Charlie when he's falling apart.
After Nick is injured during a match, he develops some unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with his physical and emotional pain. At first he thinks he can keep it under control, but it isn't long before he starts to spiral.
When Charlie realizes what's going on, will he be able to break Nick out of the spiral? Will their relationship survive the struggle? Will Nick be able to undo the damage he's done while trying to numb his pain?
