    Summary

    Buck isn't looking, but he can feel the presence of someone else climb in with him. They situate themselves in the narrow space between the center console and the seats. A hand lands on the back of his neck, ensuring he doesn't move from this position. The pressure is firm, but not cruel.

    "Relax," Red whispers in his ear, low and husky. "Enjoy the ride."

    Buck hears doors slam and the shifting of gears. The car lurches, and so does his stomach, because it's evident that nobody is going to find him now. Relax? Impossible. He's going to be killed, his body will be buried in the middle of the desert, and he didn't even thank Eddie for the coffee this morning.

    Or: Because Buck's life can never be simple, he finds himself with a gun pressed against the back of his head, in the middle of a feud that has nothing to do with him, and with five pounds of C-4 strapped to his chest. Somehow, that's not even the worst part.

    Summary

    “Patience, kotik,” Ilya says lowly in his ear. “After I win race tonight, I will show my good luck charm just how much I love him.”

    A jolt of heat spreads across Shane’s body, “What if you don’t win?”

    “Impossible. With you there, how can I lose?”

    -

    Between seasons, Ilya tries out street racing, much to Shane’s dismay. Shane hates the danger, but loves seeing Ilya happy, so he supports him and goes to the races. When a rival driver notices Ilya’s good luck charm, Ilya wishes he had never started racing in the first place.

    Summary

    Tommy stared down at the picture and didn’t move an inch as he tried to process what he was seeing. 

    It was of Evan, his pale skin glistening with sweat as he smiled, holding the door open for someone outside of his apartment building. 

    Mason put down another picture and then another, making the cold shock in Tommy’s veins turn brittle with each one being presented to him. It was obvious from the photographs that Evan hadn’t known his picture was being taken. It had to have been captured with a long lens of some kind. Evan, at his apartment building. Evan, by his Jeep outside of the grocery store. Evan, in his uniform, taking out the trash at the back of the firehouse, alone and surrounded by shadows. 

    “I really wished you’d said yes, man.” Mason leaned back and tipped the picture up to stare at him. “Cute kid. Got that birthmark thing? He’s a firefighter too? Calls himself Buck, right? Let’s take this somewhere else, huh? You can tell me all about him.”  

    An old army buddy of Tommy’s comes into town with a proposition. When Tommy refuses, he learns that Evan Buckley is a pretty good tool for persuasion.

    Summary

    Born as the second son of a high-ranking officer in the Russian mob, Ilya Rozanov is sent to head the Bratva’s overseas branch in Canada. One day, his father calls with an assignment: shut down their rival operation in Ottawa, a money-laundering front backed by the Japanese Yakuza. He’s given one name to go off of: Hollander.

    Shane Hollander is a graduate student in an MD program specializing in sports medicine. There’s nothing particularly interesting about him, other than the fact that his mother, Yuna Hollander, is the CEO of an arts charity—and the daughter of the chairman of the second-largest yakuza family in Japan.

    Unfortunately for Shane, Ilya gets the wrong Hollander.
