Summary
“You are the most important person in my life, my perfect mommy,” Ilya whispers against his mother’s bitten red lips.
“I don’t feel like much of a good mother right now…” Shane confesses with his eyes closed.
“But you are,” Ilya says as he places soft kisses on Shane’s cheeks, on his nose. “Without you I’d be nothing, alone in cold dead Russia.”
Shane lets out a pained sound at that.
“You are my rock, my happiness and I want to love you completely. All the time.”
“Ilya, but we really shouldn’t, what would people say?”
“Who can say anything about how we feel?"

Summary
Shane Hollander didn't think he would ever be truly happy with his life. He had a modest job, a place to live and a good relationship with his parents. However, his inability to play professional hockey had him convinced that he would never be the person he was meant to be. Then Ilya Rozanov enters the scene and his stunning too look at and definitely not interested in someone like Shane.
(If asked, Ilya would say he found Shane pretty upon first meeting. If compelled to tell the truth or risk death he would say very pretty. If asked by Shane for the full truth he would admit that after first meeting he locked in harder than ever before to become the sugar daddy Shane deserved)

Summary
"Are you and your friend here on a pilgrimage?" One cannot walk three steps in Rome without bumping into a piece of saint. The inn that they're staying at now makes its business off tired and hungry pilgrims hoping for a place to rest.
Diarmuid says, "No, we're just traveling. We came through Genoa, and then Tuscany, and now we are here, and soon we will see the kingdom of Sicily."
"Surely you want to see Venice as well?" asks Neri.
The answer comes not from Diarmuid but from his massive companion, in a deep, rumbling growl, "No. We don't."
Bertram gasps in mock surprise. "Ah, so you do speak."
The soldier says, "Occasionally," and he and Diarmuid share amused glances.

Summary
...the monk placed his hand on Diarmuid's back and shoved him.
Diarmuid stumbled foward with a cry of surprise, flailing, falling to his knees at the stranger's feet. He loomed over Diarmuid, his expression obscured by the sun shining in Diarmuid's eyes. With one quick movement, the stranger moved toward Brother Geraldus, gripped his sword with both hands, and drove it, point down, into the white sand. Then, he grabbed Diarmuid by the arm and hauled him to his feet.
"What are you doing?" Diarmuid asked, shrugging him off. He was trembling and hated himself for it.
The man grimaced. He cast a questioning glance back at Brother Geraldus, who hissed, "Go with him, boy! It's a trade!"
A trade? Diarmuid swallowed. The sword—for himself? For what reason? "What does he want with me?"
