Summary
Booker had mentioned they’d have an international guest training with them for a few weeks before the World Cup circuit begins, but he hadn’t specified who. Joe was not expecting Nicolò di Genova, the Italian biathlete with the startling eyes, and the competitor who he’d privately made it his mission to beat this year after landing one spot behind him in World Cup points last season.
Joe is a biathlete on the Canadian national team, gunning for his second Olympic Games - and hot on the heels of Nicolò di Genova, the enigmatic, infuriating Italian biathlete who he just can't figure out.

Summary
Adam Parrish had always been ambitious, but his carefully thought-out life plan had revolved around college, then grad school, then career. When he’d been desperate to get out of Henrietta, he’d never once considered adding going to the Olympics to that trajectory. He also hadn't expected to run into the angry, enigmatic classmate from high school - who he's never quite been able to shake from his head - once he's there.
Ronan Lynch needed a way to escape, and rowing gave it to him. Now he's somehow set to compete at the Olympic Games, and the last thing he needs is the beautiful, distracting boy he thought he'd never see again after high school getting in his way.

Summary
“Right,” the stranger said quietly, calmly, a friendly lilting cadence to his words. “I think you should tell Doug not to try and be a hero tonight. Tell him that if he likes you with all your fingers attached and if he likes not knowing what those fingers taste like, then he should probably stay where he is while you and I go downstairs to talk. Does that sound like a good idea to you?"
Blackbeard learns about Stede’s death and where he went when he didn’t show up for their escape. He decides to pay Mary a visit.

Summary
“Do you think I could help in some way?” he asks.
Ed glances at him. “Like how?”
“I don’t know. You seemed to enjoy our little gag of trading places that one time.” Stede shrugs a shoulder. He’s wearing his pink satin waistcoat and matching breeches, no overcoat—too fucking humid tonight. Ed can see the shape of his arm through the thin linen of his shirt. “What if you pretend you’re the one who isn’t in charge, and I can pretend I’m the one who is. That would be fun, wouldn’t it?”
