    Summary

    Shortly after the 2018 Winter Olympics, reigning ice dance champions Ilya Rozanov and Svetlana Vetrova shock the world by defecting from Russia to the United States. Expected to take gold in 2022, Vetrova suffers a catastrophic injury that takes the team off the ice for two seasons.

    In their absence, Canada’s Shane Hollander and Rose Landry rocket to the top of the podium. Even after taking gold at Beijing 2022, they can’t ignore the unfavorable comparisons to Rozanov/Vetrova, or the fact that the team will return for Milano Cortina 2026.

    Ilya and Svetlana are praised for their emotional depth and the difficulty of their routines, bursting back into competition with the same fire they've always had. Shane and Rose are technically flawless and powerful skaters, determined to prove that their gold wasn't a fluke. As Milan approaches, neither team can afford a distraction—but Shane and Ilya find just that in each other.

    Summary

    “Alexei, I fucking told you to never call me again, you fucking piece of—”

    “Am I speaking with Ilya Grigorievich Rozanov?”

    Ilya went silent immediately. That was not his brother’s voice. Nor was it Katia’s, his sister-in-law. It was an aristocratic, cold voice. He went completely still.

    “Yes.”

    “I’m calling from the Child Services Department, Ilya Grigorievich,” the woman continued, and Ilya frowned deeply. “Your brother Alexei Rozanov and his wife died yesterday in a car accident.”

    Twice in his life, Ilya had felt like this. The ice around his heart melted just enough for the numbness to vanish and give way to a sharp, stinging pain. It lasted only two seconds before he managed to compose himself. He didn’t want to feel anything for Alexei, so even if Katia’s death carried a trace of sadness—she was a mess, but she always tried to smile at him and cook warm meals for him when he visited Russia—, he dismissed the feeling entirely.

    “So what?”

    “You are the only living family member of their daughter. Your brother named you as her legal guardian, Ilya Grigorievich.”

    Summary

    On his thirtieth birthday, Shane Hollander wakes up able to read minds through touch. The problem? According to an urban legend no one thought was real, there's only one way to make it stop—and it involves doing the one thing he swore he'd never do. As the captain of the Montreal Metros navigates this unwanted ability, he's about to discover that sometimes the hardest thing to read is your own heart, especially when a certain charming new player seems determined to crash through all his carefully constructed walls.

    Summary

    There had been a tragedy. The Ottawa Centaurs' plane had crashed in northern Georgia, during the course of their flight from Carolina to Tampa. They didn't know much else yet. All NHL activities were suspended for the next seven days.

    Wait, what?

    At seventeen, Shane Hollander met the love of his life. At twenty-nine, gravity took him away.

    Shane wishes he’d died, too.
