Summary
When Shane Hollander was twelve years old, nobody came to his birthday party. That night, he prayed for God to take away his desire to be loved.
On that very same day, twelve-year-old Ilya Rozanov lost his mother—and with her, the only place he'd ever felt safe.
Years later, an impossible rivalry on the ice turns into something neither of them planned: stolen moments, secret hookups, and a connection that feels frighteningly like home.
But when old wounds resurface and six months of silence reopen the deepest fears they have both carried since childhood, Shane and Ilya must decide whether love is worth the risk of being left behind—or whether some promises really can outlive the people who made them.
