Summary
Set during the years of The Long Game, this series continues to follow Shane and Ilya from the only perspective that has always seen the full picture: his sister’s.
To the hockey world, they are still rivals. Their relationship remains a secret, deliberate, protected, hidden behind discipline and distance.
As contracts shift and the pressure of visibility grows, the cost of hiding becomes heavier. And just when Caitlin thinks she understands how to live alongside their secret, an unexpected trade sends someone from Ilya’s past to the Centaurs. Suddenly, hockey isn’t just her brother’s world, it’s entangled with hers.
Old feelings resurface. New lines are drawn. And while Shane and Ilya continue protecting the life they’ve built behind closed doors, Caitlin finds herself pulled onto the ice in ways she never anticipated.
This is the long game seen from the stands, where love is real, secrecy is strategic, and no one is as removed from the story as they think.
