    Summary

    Fresh off another career-defining win, Carlos Alcaraz expects the Winter Olympic Games to be little more than a whirlwind of sponsors, ceremonies, and polite small talk. Tennis is his world, ice and altitude very much not.

    Then he meets Jannik Sinner. Italian alpine skiing phenomenon with effortless composure and a smile that lingers longer than it should, Jannik is everything Carlos didn’t expect to find among snowstorms and ski lifts.

    Summary

    Six months ago, Shane’s intimate conversation and break-up with Rose Landry was recorded and leaked. In those six months, his life had completely upended and everything had changed, for better or for worse. Except for Ilya. He still has Ilya, and he’s beginning to understand that he always will.

    It’s 2018. Shane Hollander has to figure out his new life, in a new city, on a new team, while being out to the world but not by his own choice. Ilya, along for the ride, also has to learn what it means to be connected to a place, to a person, and to his own inner truth.

    (Sequel to “something you can fix,” set post-Heated Rivalry, pre-The Long Game)

    Summary

    “Rozanov, did you hear me?”

    “What?” His accent is thicker than usual.

    “I said, I don’t know if it’s worth jumping over.”

    Ilya almost laughs. They know each other’s bodies more than anything else, and yet ... Shane can see that there is something wrong in him tonight. Is it written on his face the same way it’s in his genes?

    Or,
    An exploration of what Ilya was doing on the roof in Vegas.

    Summary

    He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.

    He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.

    Shane is making space for Ilya.
